in direct response to the recent quotes by Kobe Bryant....
"On this day 18yrs ago the hornets told me right after they drafted me that they had no use for me and were going to trade me." #thanku #Believe #usmnt #lakers #jwest #drbuss #letsGo #USA

“Cleveland is making the same mistake that Charlotte made with me ."

If you don’t remember how Bryant ended up a Laker, here’s a recap via a 2007 New York Times article:
In 1996, Bryant, a teenager exiting high school for the N.B.A., was not the first pick, but he exuded self-importance when he refused to play anywhere but Hollywood.

With the 13th selection, with a deal to trade Bryant to Los Angeles in pocket, Charlotte chose him. But there was a point where it looked as if the Lakers’ Vlade Divac would retire rather than take part in a trade that would send him to Charlotte for Bryant.

Couldn’t Bryant be a Hornet? Could he grow to love Southern sweet tea?
“That is an impossibility,” Bryant’s agent, Arn Tellem, said at the time. “There are no ifs. It would not happen. He is going to be a Laker, and that’s the only team he’s playing for.”

In Kobe's case, he's never needed to apologize to the Hornets, and the intervening years aren't the reason why--he wasn't grilled much to begin with. Instead, here are the five key reasons why Bryant's rejection of Charlotte didn't draw much eyre then or now.

You can't fool the internet OR real Hornet fans.
