Reason Kobe is so popular in Asia

Japanese women flock to zoo to see Shabani the handsome gorilla

Gorillas have long been admired for having many interesting features, but handsome good looks isn’t something that often comes to mind.

Unless you’re one of the many women in Japan that have been flocking to see Shabani the studly gorilla at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, Japan.

Shabani, the Western Lowland gorilla, has captured the hearts of many young Japanese women and they’ve been lining up ever since just to get a glimpse.

The 18-year-old silverback, who weighs around 180 kilograms, has been living at the zoo since 2007 but not until recently has the gorilla gained so much popularity.

I didnt think you meant it to be racist because I havent seen that from you (that I recall) but it can be easily interpreted as such.
If you were being racist then I will think of you in a different light ...

BTW wtf does this have to do with Kobe or basketball?

that lists of jersey sales

most of the guys in that top15 are from the western conference...

league needs to do something about the easts from a marketing perspective...maybe teams have given up building a team to beat lebron and hoping he retires

[Killakobe81]

Animal-like niggas like LeBron/Shaq don't appeal well to the chinks. They even prefer a finesse, harmless white dude like Dirk over LBJ

[TDMVPDPOY]

sugarcoating to the chinese market doesnt make sense

is there figures of sales of non china market vice versa?

its like the movie industry, casts a chinese clown in a movie only to have 1 line speech out of the whole movie, thinkn the chinese will buy tickets to it...

Oh another racist thread about Kobe looking like a monkey

how original tbh

[ambchang]

That's racist, ching-chang.

You can say that is gorillaist, because I just paralleled such a handsome animal to a socialpath.

How can putting Kobe together with a zoo animal be racist? I am insulting the gorilla. Or do you mean gorilla is a race?

[ambchang]

I know you like the D, and now I know your racist. Kudos.

I like defense so I am a racist?

[ambchang]

New low for you Amb, disappointed. It's why we are cool but you a notch below DPG and El ...after this maybe a couple notches.

Why? Insulting a gorilla is now out of bounds?

[ambchang]

Oh another racist thread about Kobe looking like a monkey

how original tbh

First, a gorilla is an ape, not a monkey.

Second, how is comparing Kobe to a gorilla racist? Is calling Joel Przybilla the vanilla gorilla racist? It has everything to do with an individual and not of the race. The fact that anyone can equate an entire race with a zoo animal strictly because of the colour, and the level of sensitivity towards it speaks to the shocking racism undertone of society as a whole.

[Brazil]

I created a racist thread in the nba forum and I'm quite happy about myself

well noted amb

[ambchang]

well noted amb

It is really sad that you have to resort to changing quotes, at which point it's obvious you have lost the argument.

I find it disturbing that you are so ridiculously racist that you can relate everything to race, and that a one person can represent an entire race, not to mention which that said person is a known sociapath.

Trying to paint Kobe, a person with a long list of negative attributes, as a representative of an entire race is beyond low.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Brazil]

Kobe is so damn popular in Asia because Asian people love Gorillas, got it ? it's not racist it is just that Kobe looks like an ape, got it ? he is black with big lips so look like Gorillas, got it ?

[ambchang]

If I say Shawn Marion looks like an ant, it's not racist.

If I say Chris Bosh looks like an ostrich, it's not racist.

If I say Jermaine O'Neal looks like a beluga whale, it's not racist.

If I say Barbosa looks like a shrew, it's not racist.

But the second I said Kobe is popular is Japan because Japanese women appreciates the rugged good looks of a gorilla, it's racist.

Your interpretation what what I said, and the way you are putting words in my mouth is disturbing. It really speaks to your racist tendencies and what you really have suppressed inside.

your thread is racist, deal with it

So much spin ...maybe it's repressed ...but either way it was a shitty thread racist or not. And if you can't see why some took it that way ... You are not as smart or insightful as I thought you were ...admit it was in poor taste and move on. Defending you horrible position only makes it worse.

You can say it was a bad joke, but to say this is racist is totally uncalled for.

I am just disturbed that a large portion of the Spurstalk community would fake being these liberal freedom fighters, when they are actually just racists deep down inside.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt Amb, because we are cool but dont play ignorant either this is no way close to the most racist thing I have seen on here ... but I thought you were better than that. and if it's not racist it still had very little merit (despite also being unfunny) and really shows how much you dislike this player despite your denials and claims that your only only being his media portrayal of him or his overrated status.

Check yourself Amb, it was either blinding hate (that made you not see how this would be perceived) or underlying racism. Either way man up to it ...the fact others here are worse does not absolve you here. I was not offended just disappointed. I had never seen this from you here and expect better from someone like yourself but maybe I shouldn't have ...

But either way. I will not allow this one misstep completely erase our good times bantering back and forth ...I just wanted to give it to you straight as a friendly "rival".

Ok, well this settles it. From now on, there is no racism on the board. No use of nigga. We probably should clean up some other things on this board like faggot, fat shaming, objectification of women.

LOL, not sure he is racist it could be just his Kobehate ...but his post was pretty shaky. But he is stubborn ... it's part of his charm ... I can predict all the Kobe related threads as we struggle with the rooks this year but I dont want to spoil the fun ...

Why are you asking me? Of course I don't, because those are comments I wrote.

I suppose the thought of those women having questionable tastes in beauty never crossed your mind, because to you talking about a coloured person and an ape in the same sentence MUST mean that they look similar. You suppressed racist.

And you ignored how because was used.

Kobe is popular in Japan because he looks like an ape is very different than Kobe is popular in Japan because women in Japan have very questionable tastes in beauty, shown by the popularity of an ape due to its handsomeness.

If you can't distinguish between the two, not only are you a suppressed racist, you are also dumb.

[Killakobe81]

Not true, I am not going to admit to anything I am not.

didnt ask you to admit that I even defended you ... but for you to act ignorant on why some might infer you are racist based off this is ... interesting. People (not you apparently) but normal people make mistakes. The ability to admit it is the mark of a man of conviction.

I can see why people can see it as racist, but it would only apply to people who are racist to begin with, because the entire notion of linking the two requires a deeply racist psyche. I personally just don't see it, and will never agree to that level of insult to an entire race.

I made mistakes, I thought it was funny, and it wasn't. But it wasn't racist.

Yeah what's wrong with being compared to a gorilla? Chimp comparisons would be insulting. Kobe is a special post racial person. To call him.a black man is misguided. He is better than 90% of all men. He'd be at the apex of black or white. Being racial is admitting you can't hang with competition from the world's supply of man. Kobe can, so he opted out of race.


All you race defenders are trying too hard. If I didn't know better I'd say this was an agenda to discredit an annoying person by sanctioning their troll thread. I seem to remember others calling Deandre Jordan an ape. No racism there right?

I will spell it out for you, just because of you because you are just especially slow.

Saying this thread is racist because seeing anything with mention of an ape means a thread is racist can only mean that the person is actually racist.

I have a feeling I have to explain it again, because, well you know, it's you.
