Kobe out here looking/sounding like Carlton Banks

[CarbonBraddock]

This is the dude ya'll idolize? Sounds like a complete square and fake as fukk. Of course if that is how he sounds actually then he is lame to begin with. Lol, kobe fans explain. But seriously, he looks like WIll SMith in Suicide Squad though.

I looked him up and saw that he has a series of posts focused on the failure that several successful people overcame. I'm reading his one about Jordan.

Me and this guy are the same age and he's done all that and more.

This is a blow the the ol' self esteem right here

 

[A1aaa]

nikkas in here mad that kobe is transitioning to making real plays as a venture capitalist... rubbing shoulders with people who can drop valuable gems

....instead of going broke and heading back the block with them/their favorite athletes post-retirement



he had some mildly sus inflections in his voice, but i've worked with black folks in the professional world who are 1000x worse with it. let that man live.

 

[The God Poster]

all this money gonna go to vanessa too

Talk shyt with an OVO owl in ya avi brehs

 

[CantStop]

Came here to defend him but god damn nikka put his Kanye on the Kris Jenner show voice.

 

[YouMadd?]

He is "Mirroring"... Mimicking someone else's style of communication in order to build rapport. Pretty common tactic used when doing business or selling, in this case, himself. He's in the venture capitalist world And doesn't have time to worry about what a Coli burger flipper thinks.
