Kobe "Kirby" Bryant appears to be on the verge of a sweep somewhat like his teamates. Kirby Vacuum Cleaners has revealed the companies interest in having Kirby Bryant as their alpha endorser. Spokesperson Margaret Finegold tells reporters "With Kobe being home watching the games, cleaning and tweeting, we feel this would give us maximum exposure." Cleaning?! Apparently Kobe has been assigned vacuming duties by Vannessa Bryant ever since they were forced by a judge to settle with a maid who successfully sued over crappy working conditons.

"Bryant has shown all the warrior like attributes in vacuuming that he shows on the basketball court. We feel this will be a huge hit across the nation."

Other companies are said to be eagerly following in Kirbys footsteps.

Board MultiTroll-MultiLaker was spamming the board with "Jim Duncan" in a failed attempt to be cutesy.
Someone countered with "Kirby" Bryant and it stuck.

kirby is how most chinks pronounce his name imho. dude has a huge fanbase over there so when everyone starts to call him "kirby", it ostensibly becomes his nickname
