**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[clyde the glide]

Im just saying hows the kobe line “buns” when its the most popular basketball shoe worn across the nba league?

Performance wise maybe not idk have never owned a pair but somebody said they are not forgettable which is what I disagree with. Imo they r as forgettable as it gets compared to other lines that actually look good for casual wear. If u disagree with that than post a pair that looks good with real pants that's all I wanna see...

Old enough to form my own opinion. Kobes Nike line has always been buns. Love the player but not enough to make me like his footwear. Talking about the cut for casual wear lol that's how u know they're trash

absolutely incorrect, buns from casual wear? sure but that's not what they were made for. I cringe when I seeing dudes wearing performance basketball sneakers casually

they're without the doubt the best performance line nike has ever had, avy aside

And you defending his honor like you Savannah gets old too

We all know Savannah not defending him.

 

[dacomeup]

Okay, I guess.

I do think his natural position is at the 1, though. Despite his flaws, he has pretty impressive vision. Problem is the aggressiveness isn't always there to make a play or take advantage of a mismatch.

He definitely isn't a natural 1. If there's anything you can take from watching him the last few years is that he isn't a natural 1.

TH Jr would work perfect with Luka

I agree

 

[art vandelay]

Why are they not tryna trade Barnes tho...

 

[BIG FISH]

By basically swapping Wes for THJr would the Knicks open up another max slot?

 

[addict4sneakers]

The difference between THjr and Barnes is?

SMH The Kobe line is the epitome of a b-ball shoe you can rock casually with ease and a great hoop shoe
Them ***** is low tops ffs. So dope

Maybe I’m biased in Cali with the good weather but people rock Kobe’s everywhere here

 

[moonman818]

Yeah but after a certain age sweat pants and joggers in public ain't passing for casual wear at least imo hence why I said there for kids. Plenty of Jordans, lebrons, Penny's that look good with real pants. Still waiting to see some kobes that do...

This is a ridiculous statement.

If you can wear Lebrons or Penny’s with “real pants” you can wear Kobe’s.

And FYI no one in LA with any sense of style is wearing Penny’s or Lebrons with anything besides sweats or shorts.

 

[pmatic]

The Kobe line never screamed casual wear besides maybe the 4-6s. Strictly bball use.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Giannas v. Neck tatt again tonight, have a feeling Giannas comes out and drags him if Hassan isn't playing

We'd have to also trade Lee without taking back money

 

[drewsone]

sweat pants in public will always be okay lol

Whole heartedly disagree. The 9 lows and 11s in particular with the flyknit are great for casual wear.

Man...what? I went through a phase were I was only on my suit and tie and GQ (but actually practical) **** everywhere. However, as I got older, I actually dressed down more. I ain’t bout to get jiggy on a Sunday morning to go to Whole Foods. Best believe I’m throwing on sweats and some Kobe’s and no one will bat an eye.

If I’m gonna keep it a buck, I actually find it enjoyable to pull up to fancy stores in **** like joggers and Kobe’s instead of “real pants” because when no sales associates helps me and I end up dropping a couple pieces at the register and I tell them no one helped me, I love seeing the look on their face as they fumble for words, call me “sir”, apologize, offer me ****, etc.

I'll give you the 8s and 9 lows.

 

[lawdog1]

I'll give you the 8s and 9 lows.

I still wear a couple different pairs of 8 lows fairly regularly, with jeans, to work. Might have to get some different insoles though because they noticeably squeak when I walk. **** is annoying.

I struggle to think about how good kenny Atkinson would be with an actual decent team. Dude is taking a team full of scrubs and dinwiddie and Russell to the playoffs.

They actually have a decent amount of good players.

Russell, Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Kurucs, Allen, Davis.... And LeVert when he was healthy.

Kenny just gets everyone to play really hard.



If Kenny better managed minutes and the Nets weren’t rolling out the saddest collection of forwards (sans Kurucs) they’d probably be within a game or two of home court in the first round.

Hollis-Jefferson, Carroll, Dudley, Treveon Graham was so awful to watch as their Forward rotation

DSJ would bring some excitement to the garden. They shoulda picked him anyway.

Not this again. What’s exciting about mediocrity? We already had Steve Francis once.

We could’ve had Donovan now that’s a player.

 

[youngwolf]

DSJ is a scrub. Him and the Knicks are a perfect match.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

They can be exciting trash. Knicks fans should be used to losing by now. It's been like a 100 years since Willis Reed and nem won that last ring.

Brooklyn could be a landing spot for a star this summer.

I could see Jimmy Butler talking himself into signing there. But he's kind of the anti-thesis to what the Nets have been building up to this point.
