 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.

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
