nowhere in there it says Kobe "demanded a trade" or anything close to insinuating that.

Again, post proof.

[Hey Yo]

[QUOTE=JellyBean] First off, Kobe isn't lying. The idea that Bryant orchestrated the trade

[DetroitPistonFan]

His tweet made it sound as if no other team was interested. He knew prior to being drafted by Charlotte that he would not be playing there. His rights would be traded to LA.

Kobe made himself sound like the teenage victim, treated like trash by Charlotte. He knew what was going down the whole time.

Why is the tweet he made news to you know when he said the same thing before on TV?

I never said he did to begin with. Calipari and the Nets were told not to draft him.

hey yo!

[IllegalD]

its really sad to watch the Kobe-stans go into a full on PR scramble to protect their golden god.

Sadder than Kobe haters making more threads about Kobe than any other player while dude barely played this season?

Don't draft a player straight outta HS? Must be colluding than

[Legends66NBA7]

"Or Bryant would have been perfectly happy as a New Jersey Net, a claim he first made a year after the draft."

Don't recall this quote before.

I think what's even more sad than falsifying information to try to smudge someone's reputation is someone taking this opportunity to slip in an insult to bash the people who are calling the OP out on it. such a coward thing to do by both of these two kids, just pathetic.

Then change your title.

Only Bryant wasn't about to wait years for his liberation. He called Calipari after the coach's lunch with Taub, and Bryant's agent, Arn Tellem, called Nash. Prospect and agent declared they wanted no part of Jersey; Tellem even threatened that his client would play in Italy if the Nets ignored their wishes.

It's well known and reported that Bryant refused to play for the Hornets, or the Nets, or anyone not named the Lakers. He threatened them with "If you draft me I'm going to Italy" type stuff.

OP is correct. Kobe lying.
