| General Discussion, Vol. 2 | This is where we cover a slightly wider range of topics and allow the Artist Series threads to remain focused on the respective competitions. Let's keep it related in some way to sneakers or the KG community... i.e. a new design rendering, a recent shoe purchase, a sighting of an interesting shoe, an encounter with a notable person in the sneaker world, or if you've been around here for a while, anything you've done which other KGers would find interesting. | 7/23/2008 10:25:00 AM |

Come on in for the simple ground rules... | 7/1/2008 1:23:00 AM |
| Jordan vs Kobe - Who Is Better? | Last week, ESPN had an article on their front page by Jemele Hill. It is one of the worst articles I've ever read, not because I'm siding with any one side but rather because it was full of opinions that offered no facts or evidence. As a result, ESPN released another article this week, backed by Tex Winter - the creator of the Triangle Offense and someone who coached both Jordan and Kobe through their careers. | 6/21/2008 1:08:00 AM |
