Would You Pay $50 to Read About Kobe?

Because that’s what he’s charging for “exclusive” access (plus a t-shirt!) to his official website.

  • littleshotlarry Posted: Jan.15 at 11:45 am
    I knew the economy was bad, but not THIS bad.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.15 at 11:54 am
    I already did.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.15 at 12:01 pm
    And the T-shirt is awesome!

  • Keith Posted: Jan.15 at 12:09 pm
    Doc Funk has just become my new favourite commentor.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.15 at 12:38 pm
    This is not news, the site has had paid sections almost since it first went online.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.15 at 1:22 pm
    Who wouldn’t?

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Jan.15 at 1:43 pm
    Hold on let me think no.

  • Roy Posted: Jan.15 at 1:56 pm
    Co-sign Russ.:D

  • Anton Posted: Jan.15 at 2:34 pm
    Gotta roll with the times, I’m sure Colorado hotel rates have gone up…

  • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Jan.15 at 3:35 pm
    Doc Funk!!!!!!!

  • Moose Posted: Jan.15 at 3:51 pm
    No, I wouldn’t, because I just did for free. Stupid Kobe.

  • a_whiteman Posted: Jan.15 at 3:56 pm
    Did anyone see kobe do the big balls dance last night!!!!!

  • WhiteOut Posted: Jan.15 at 3:59 pm
    I would never pay a coon $50 to hear his opinons.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.15 at 4:01 pm
    Someone needs to be banned immediately!^

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.15 at 4:07 pm
    @Whiteout:I’d never pay your mother $50 for something that she gladly does with multiple partners every night for free!

  • Moose Posted: Jan.15 at 4:15 pm
    B. Long’s been waiting for two months since he made that up to whip it out.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.15 at 4:16 pm
    Not really, Moose. Insulting ingnorance comes pretty natural to me.

  • Moose Posted: Jan.15 at 4:24 pm
    I noticed, B. I’ve been the victim many a time.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.15 at 4:26 pm
    I’m pretty sure you’ve never said something as stupid as whiteout…..in your liftime.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.15 at 4:30 pm
    You’re either with Kobe or you’re with “WhiteOut”.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.15 at 4:33 pm
    LMAO^ I don’t think it’s that “black and white” Jackie Moon.

  • Eboy Posted: Jan.15 at 4:45 pm
    “Don’t Tell Me You Agree With Me
    When I Saw You Kicking Dirt In My Eye Hee, hee But, If
    You’re Thinkin’ About My Baby
    It Don’t Matter If You’re Black Or White”

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.15 at 5:38 pm
    It’s not about races, it about places, faces, where your blood comes from, is where your space is

  • Hooped Up Posted: Jan.15 at 6:10 pm
    Unless we get 24/7 access to secret footage of Kobe Bryant dunking on George Bush, Ben Affleck and Anne Coulter at the same time with the Roots performing live at half court — in Rucker Park. Charging $50 is really taking a piss!

  • Hursty Posted: Jan.15 at 9:43 pm
    Can someone please remove ‘whiteouts’ comment? He made a racist remark on the Yao/Tmac article as well which was deleted…

  • Darksaber Posted: Jan.15 at 10:30 pm
    Hooped up? your comment was all aces. honorary mention goes to both E and Jackie Moon (LOVE ME SEXYYYYYY!) for unleashing Micheal’s Black or White up in here. Great stuff, y’all.

  • Darksaber Posted: Jan.15 at 10:33 pm
    Sh*t, just looked up “coon” since i never knew what it meant. The dumb prick who used that on SLAMONLINE needs to shut it, fast.

  • Logan Posted: Jan.16 at 3:12 am
    damn Kob! 50 bucks? maybe once some money starts rolling in bruh!

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.16 at 4:02 am
    I would have paid $50 for someone to make up an article about Lebron missing fourteen shots in a row, but then it actually happened.

  • Hisham Posted: Jan.16 at 5:01 am
    whiteout is a very masochistic person to go on a basketball website where he is constantly confronted with articles, pictures and comments about very rich black people. Did your psychiatrist order you to do this as a part of your therapy, WhiteOut?

  • Spaceship Jay Posted: Jan.16 at 2:40 pm
    I’m sorry, I cannot take internet racisism seriously. We are all basically faceless beings typing our opinion on a basketball website. None of us will ever meet Whiteout, and even if we randomly did meet at some point, he’d just in our our faces.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.16 at 5:15 pm
    Spaceship Jay – he would what?

  • B.Easy B.Greezy Posted: Jan.16 at 7:06 pm
    nah.

  • Blinguo Posted: Jan.17 at 4:57 am
    Wouldn’t pay $49.99 for his 81 pt game shoes I never even heard about until eBay resellers. Kobe’s Webmaster people shouldn’t have the nerve to charge that amount for a blog/updated sparingly site with layoffs left and right in the US which hurts the world Economy (and every nation’s currency amounts) as a whole too.
