 I don’t think anyone in their wildest dreams  believed Kobe would turn in to a Jordan like player. 

You sure about that? Anticipation for Kobe was extremely high from the get-go. He was already hyped/hailed as MJ's successor during his rookie season. Let's be real, ain't nobody gonna replace MJ, but the fact Kobe rose up to the challenge and lived up to the hype to a large extent speaks volumes about his dedication, self-confidence, and competitiveness. Kobe was that guy. Meanwhile, we got the football equivalent of Kwame Brown playing at QB.

Yikes...

I’ve read the stories and rumors about Kobe - the one about Jerry West is really fascinating. 
 

But the trade was agreed upon prior to the pick and the Hornets took him knowing they would trade him to the Lakers. Sure, it looks like an idiotic trade now but it is what it is.

Again, Kobe wasn’t going to play for the Hornets. I think m he pretty much said that years later.  That trade was agreed upon prior to the pick. I don’t think anyone in their wildest dreams  believed Kobe would turn in to a Jordan like player. 

From what I remember, Kobe had said he wouldn't play for anyone but LA. It's part of the reason he fell. Teams knew he wouldn't sign.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
