Crazy. This Kicks magazine is the reason why I came here in 2001. The editor's section that Meth referred had the original ezboard url. I copied that on a piece of paper and took it to my local library's computer the same day. The rest was history..View media item 1299622
This is what bought me here, I was just looking at that magazine the other day. Lurked for a while and joined a few years later. This website has provided YEARS of laughs and GREAT information. But, the all-time funniest thread has to be the Boozer black ice thread. Some people in the thread said they tweeted it to TNT, to bring up on Inside the NBA, I was hoping so much that they would talk about, even though Shaq kept hinting around it.
A few things:
-A member giving the info that NikeTown Australia had the Space Jam's, Concords, and Black/Red 6's for retail. I remember being late for a summer league game to call when the store opened. And then what wasn't sold he got back online and gave an update of what was left.
-Being able to preorder Jordans via Eastbay. Never had to worry about release dates, whatever you wanted and how many you wanted was always ordered has soon as someone posted the product code. Now you can't even call in on release day.
-The hype around the black/red 11's (first retro) that it had their own dedicated forum. As Meth called it, a table to put the kids at Thanksgiving so the adults could eat in peace.
-Meth was going in on a thread one day, banning folks left and right -- he finally said, I bought my number 2 pencil today anybody else want to test me? It was probably one of the funniest things I have seen on here along with the Boozer thread.
-The Malace at the Palace was another memorable night as well. Laughs were nonstop when talking about how Jermaine O'Neal did the sliding punch.
- The thread about Fat Joe going to jail for taxes and the first reply was "Lien Back". Possibly the most repped post ever...
I could go on and on but this place keeps me in tune with the younger crowd when we are through hooping and just chopping it up. Would be totally lost if it wasn't for NT
