⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

To me it's not even like they ran out of designs, it's like Kobe's were so popular that someone at Nike was just like "Let's keep making different versions of Kobe's but putting other people's names on them!" and nike execs were like "That's ****ing genius!"

Yeah they ran with that low top more of a runner look. Most Kobe's look the same. Low top, big check in the middle. Slight changes here and there. With Kobe's it's mainly about the colorways because the models aren't distinct.

NBs are common in the DC area. Just not as much since the younger generation kinda lost regional style.

Surprised to hear that ppl wear UAs casually Those get no burn round here.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It's honestly ******** it took this long for him to get in. He shouldn't be in the same HOF class as Chris Bosh.

 

[MajinZuub]

Kwame still going at it

 

[lawdog1]

They were pretty popular before he left too. They're good shoes, I get why Nike just keeps remixing them for different players. It's still funny to see though

Hey, at least they give the “new” models their own nicknames and add supes creative touches like putting the player’s first pet’s name on the outsole.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It's honestly bull**** it took this long for him to get in. He shouldn't be in the same HOF class as Chris Bosh.

I been saying it for a long time people over blow that timeout situation, held it over his head for too long.

CWebb (along with KG) was the OG version of today's big men. Athletic, great rebounder, great passer, nice handle, had a mid-range. He was a automatic 23, 11 and 5 in his prime. Made Sacramento a contender, probably woulda got a ring if it wasn't for Shaq and Kobe.

 

[dman14]

kwame said if SAS even talks bad about kyrie, durant, or any other person, you'll hear from him

 

[MajinZuub]

In steel toes on a tractor

 

[smedroc]

How Kwame rapidly moving up all time list when he been retired??

 

[Kinfolk]

I get going at Nike, but hell the Warriors didn't even want to really invest in Wardell like that around that same time cause of them ankles. That's why he ended up getting that 44 million dollar deal.

yeah a lot of people forget about this.

Nike had no way of knowing that his ankle issues would virtually disappear. They didn’t fumble the bag, they passed on a guy who at the time had chronic ankle issues.


Where Nike fumbled recently was signing Luka and Zion to Jordan.

Signing guys like Zion and Luka to Jordan brand is like intentionally muting their shine. I’ll never understand…

They knew Kobe’s deal was potentially coming to an end, they could have easily given both guys their own line and phased out Paul George.

 

[lovehateself]

uncle kwame got inspired by myrie

 

[storm2006]

Didn’t realize Kwame was in the league for 12 years Also looks like he made $63MM in contracts which is close to double Matt Barnes and a few Ms behind Sjax. Not bad for a bust if you ask me

 

[Platinum State]

Breh I dont know what Kwame wants to gain form this. People been bagging on him for 2 decades and now he decides to clap back.
Probably hopes to get some sponsorship deals

 

[Based Jesus]

Pacers aint playing around with the Hornets right now

 

[Air Pope]

It's honestly bull**** it took this long for him to get in. He shouldn't be in the same HOF class as Chris Bosh.

That's a fact. Makes no sense at all.

 

[youngthundercat]

Say it ain’t so wavy & stunner y’all Bmore boys out there in UA. Sad.

 

[youngthundercat]

young boys ain’t ready for these type of lights..

Honestly he might have just hit a breaking point.

Some respect on his name?

A podcast maybe?

Or just finally speaking up for himself. I think someone may have mentioned this but I didn’t even know what his voice sounded like 2 days ago.

He took 20 years of criticism and jokes in SILENCE. Think about that. That takes a certain type of individual.

He’s extremely country and he’s had it with the slander.
