Kobe X

Did Nike just tip its hand regarding the Kobe X release?

The Nike Basketball Twitter account just sent out this cryptic tweet saying "77 points to go. Stay tuned." All it takes is some simple math to come to the realization that Bryant is just 77 points away from passing Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. Attached to tweet is a blacked-out sneaker which appears to be the Kobe X silhouette. Beneath said silhouette is the proclamation "coming at 32,293," which of course is the total number of points it'll take Mamba to pass MJ. After digesting all this info, we have to come to the conclusion that the Nike Kobe X will be officially revealed and/or dropped when Mamba passes Jordan on the all-time scoring list.
