Fellas. Mamba checking in. Just so you know. I'll be lurking around a lot now

imminent problem: kobe is retiring, and there might be a mass exodus of stan posters who never had true interest in the nba anyway. his retirement might send a handful of posters into retirement too.

solution: make up a story that a certain player will be lurking around on this site, so all these stans will stick around to keep this board lively.



gee, i can't think of who could possibly be behind this campaign. :oldlol:

Damn, whoever's alt that is must've had to search long and hard for that login info.

If that's the real Kobe (2 posts in 10 years leads me to believe it is; no one else is sitting on that account name for so long), congratulations on a great career, and an epic final game. Pretty amazing that the Warriors record breaking night wasn't even the top story. Enjoy retirement, and whatever else follows.

Someone is mad that a washed up Kobe can score more points than Wade could ever do in his prime.

Kobe pretty much just took a giant sh*t on the whole "Wade is on par with Kobe, and would be better had it not been for injuries" theory and this is why f*ggots like you and aj are melting down hardcore.

[DCL]

if this was poker, i'd go "ALL IN MOTHAFUKKA" on this bluff. :oldlol:

this is not based on a gut feeling nor random childish hope, but this is the thought process of logic...

1.) this site used to be on ezboard. but everyone switched on june 3, 2006. check the join date of all the mods and old dinosaur farts. we all joined on or around this date.

some info on the old board -- before in the old ass days, just like today, a LOT of posters picked players that they jocked as their screen names: vince, iverson, mcgrady, garnett, dirk, etc.

in 2006, the most widely used player as login name was some variation of kobe... ie. kobelakers, kobedunk, kobemvp, kobesucks, kobeAirball, etc. it didn't matter if the poster was a stan or hater, using "kobe" as a handle was pretty popular. this was 2006, so kobe was even more prevalent back then.

so choosing "kobe" during registration was an established popular trend. well, again, member registration for this site opened on june 3, 2006. right about that time, a lot of people signed up immediately. so there was a big chase for everyone to get their new screennames. and since "kobe" was already taken so fast, those people had to settle for variations instead.

so given the massive popularity of using "kobe" by existing posters back then, what were the chances of the real kobe bryant sitting at home and beating all those people in picking "kobe" first during registration? there was probably only a 5 minute or 20 minute window for someone to grab "kobe" as soon as registration opened.

2.) the title of the thread is "Fellas. Mamba checking in. Just so you know. I'll be lurking around a lot now" -- :oldlol: why was the last part necessary as a first statement? to me, the last part just screamed as an advertisement to request people to remain on the site and not leave. :lol :lol :lol

3.) you didn't even need to sign up anything to read this board! if you're a lurker, you could just come in anonymously and read anything. signing up wasn't necessary. that's what all the other real nba players do when they read shit here.

4.) kobe just retired briefly ago, and he's been hounded by the media for interviews since officially going out. so given his busy schedule, do people really believe that logging into a message board account that was created 10 years ago to only announce he's going to lurk around here was actually one of his top 1000 things to do at this time???? :oldlol:

5.) even if you don't care about reasons 2-5, reason #1 is why the real kobe bryant couldn't get "kobe." there were just too many damn posters chasing to get that name.

ALL IN on this bluff.
