Who came up with the Kirby and Jim nicknames for Kobe and Duncan?

[Jacob1983]

Any thoughts?

[ezau]

Lakaluva came up with Jim if I'm not mistaken. Kirby was a response to that, but I'm not sure who came up with that exactly.

[Stabula]

It's immature I don't see how anyone could be amused by that. Don't think I got amused by silly nick names like that past my 8th birthday.

[MolaMola790]

Jim is pretty stupid. I can't take anyone seriously who uses it. Kirby is some what funny.

[Jacob1983]

Jim is not a good nickname. Kirby is mainly because it's a funny sounding word. When you say it, you laugh because you think of some goofy person who is probably named Kirby or the Nintendo game character.

[Mikeanaro]

I like Jim, but I like more Kirby and of course DWERT

[Jacob1983]

Usually when someone on here uses Jim as a nickname for Duncan, it's mainly about his alleged bisexualness and his male best friend and part time lover.

As far as I can tell, first mention of Kirby back here:

I dont care if duncan is gay, I admire his playing not the people who sleeps with him, besides we call kirby kobe and dwert dwight, so Jim is some cross we have to bare, I can deal with it

[Mikeanaro]

Wow Nono, I thought that Kirby stuff was new but it is from 2006, I navigated STalk for years before being member and never saw that, now It is a classic

Somehow, Jerry Buss was a genius for aptly naming his son Jim, tbh.

I dont get what Jim Duncan means exactly

[spurraider21]

I dont get what Jim Duncan means exactly
supposed to mean something like he's so boring/bland/unremarkable that you'd confuse his name with an everyman like Jim

[Phillip]

Jim is funnier simply because spurfans get so butthurt over it, while none of the lakerfans give the slightest response to Kirby.

Exactly. Jim came about by accident. I started a thread a few years back and spelled Dunan for Duncan and all these apes shit themselves over it. So I tested the waters with Jim for Tim and after while they began firing back with Kirby. They're like my very own test monkeys.:lol

[bus driver]

Tammy titties is pretty good, dont recall who made that one up.

Kool coined him that one for obvious reasons. I just prefer to call him faggot for even more obvious reasons. Its a good fit and a gets me a sure reply from chumper.

Didn't the link Nono posted show Kirby was used well before Jim?

You know... if you and I were standing face to chest and I decided to stand on my head... my cock would be staring you square in the eyes. What would you do?

[DPG21920]

Do my best not to feel sorry for you?

I haven't seen a Spurfan get butthurt at all over "Jim," tbh....

I always like Kriby.

Tammy is bad too but I would take that over Jim.

[hater]

sure. but let's not forget Lebron had to ask Kobe + JKidd out of retirement in order to shed that nick

[ElNono]

IMO, Bible Kemp is GOAT...

[Kool Bob Love]

^^^

We have a winner.:lmao

[scanry]

Bible Kemp was a good one though. Who came up with that?

[Rogue]

The name Kirby originated from chinks' pronunciation of the name Kobe imho, which had a long history. while the name Jim or Tammy only came into existence after Duncan's sexual orientation went public.

On a Spurs forum? Who would have thought? I wonder what would happen if I use Kirby on LG. Actually I don't wonder, I know I would get banned in about a second.

[Johnsyounger]

Fredo Buss is the best one tbh...

Plus Larry Brown kept him glued to the bench while allowing cancers like AI and Marbury to chuck to their hearts' content, plus Spurfan gets all butthurt whenever anyone mentions Duncan's involvement in that bronze medal :lol

I assume it's the latter. Kirby's signature move was sucking in the skill set of his opponents thus gaining their abilities, which was why he often dressed like Mario/Link. So..... basically what Kobe made his career off of
