I know this was posted somewhere else before, but I just wanted to know if anyone else knows what Cape is supposed to be? And then mods can lock it after that.
Is it the Cape crusader? An alias of Batman? But Batman does not have superhuman strength.
anyways i got it from this espn article.

Please, Kobe...stop.
I was never a big Shaq fan, but at least some of his nicknames were sorta funny. I'm a big Kobe fan, but his "nicknames" are just sorry. Cape???

stick with black mamba. That is a sick nickname, and it fit him. Cape? Hell no kobe. Mamna works just fine  _________________

Ehh relax guys, Kobe was kidding.
As for "Cape", it's just a reference to the accessory that is sometimes associated with flying superheroes. _________________

That nickname rhymes with a word I don't ever want to hear associated with Kobe Bryant ever again. He's seriously stupid if he pushes for this to be his new nickname. It sets up jokes way too easy.
Besides, you should never give yourself a nickname. They are supposed to be bestowed upon you. |

I can see some haters going from cape to rape with this nickname. Kobe really needs to change it. I'd get tired of hearing the same insult everyday when it comes to Kobe haters. _________________

Poor Kobe. Growing up in Italy and Phily Sub-burbs he never got a chance to be given a nickname. A name that was GIVEN to him.
He should just call himself June Bug. No matter where you live theres a June Bug. Think about it, he could say "they called me June Bug back in Italy" and everyone would believe that. That homie June Bug is world wide. |

Nah man…an NBA player naming himself is foolish and anyone who can’t see Kobe setting himself up for that punchline is a fool |

no1 is going to call him rape. u think ppl evne call him nicknames when he plays? has stu called kobe black mamba ever on tv? i don't think ive ever heard it. ive ehard greatest player in hte game...take u off life support...fantastic player. ive never heard black mamba. will jeff van gundy call him cape/rape? no. i mean come on. no1 calls kobe his nickname unless he says it himself in some interview or something. shaq's nicknames are different because htey are actually good and the media can run with it. why would the media run wtih cape? its a stupid nickname but its not foolish for him 2 joke around about it
whats foolish is that turd on the clippers who does the in ur face hand movement when he mkaes a shot (tim thomas)
whats foolish is AI saying hes the best player in hte league hwen he knows that hasnt been the case in the past 5+ years
this is a joking thing, no1 is going to run across the coutnry screaming RAPE whenever kobe steps onto the court. _________________ "expose foes with hocus pocus flows, they froze, now suckas idealize my chosen blows"-2pac

Stu calls him the Dagger.
I said the Nuggets announcers, not media.
And of course they are not going to say Rape... just a little humor my friend. Let's not wear our panties too tight or it might stop the humor from reaching our brains  |
