How come Kobe requesting a trade in 2007 doesn’t get more attention?

[ItsStillMurda]

Lakers fans pretend like this didn’t actually happen

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Everyone that had already gone through puberty remembers this.

The question is…when will you go through puberty?

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Damn you right

What exactly we gonna do about this

Everyone that had already gone through puberty remembers this.

The question is…when will you go through puberty?

Do we actually remember it or pretend that he always wanted to be a “laker for life”?

Kobe wanted to win more than anything even if that meant leaving LA. For some reason, Laker fans pretend as if this never happened

Why is it supposed to get more attention?

 

[High quality poster]

It got plenty attention…. In 2007

It’s almost twenty years later nikka

 

[In The Zone '98]

The logic is that he stayed. So it doesn't really count

But. We was there. He was crying in that Costco parking lot

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Who cares, he lit a fire under Mitch's ass to get Gasol. We weren't going anywhere starting Brian Cook and Chris Mihm. Phil wasn't developing young players like Bynum and Farmar.

There are certain narratives people like to run with.

Because he took it back the next day u dufus

If he had rob Pelinka as GM, he would have retired with 8 rings. Imagine having the best player in his prime and u surround him with a cast that’s worse than the current hornets rosters

 

[Born2BKing]

And he wanted to go to the Bulls, may as well have called MJ daddy.

 

[Controversy]

You can't waste an ATG's prime & that's what was happening

Over the next 12 months we got Fisher back, traded for Pau, young guys developed and Kob trusted his teammates more

All's well that ends well

 

[Joe Sixpack]

I remember that day vividly

2007

He was tired a gettin his dikk kicked in and leading the Lakers to the lottery and the 8th seed

He went on goofy ass Stephen A show and was like get me outta here
