Yes, there it is. Exactly one year ago today Kobe Bryant turned the basketball world upside down by demanding a trade on Stephen A. Smith's radio show, setting off a summer of doubt and rumors where Kobe tried to force his way out of a Lakers uniform. A trip down memory lane will show us some of the possible, unappealing scenarios there were several months ago...

Kobe and Radmanovic to Houston for Mcgrady, Bobby Sura, and the #26 pick....this made me throw up.

Kobe to Washington for Arenas.....Arenas? Are you serious?

Kobe to Dallas for Josh Howard, Jason Terry or Devin Harris, and Jerry Stackhouse....Lets face it. Howard + Odom = Marijuana trees growing in the locker room.

The best teams in the league just happen to be the Lakers and Celtics. Let it go, we're the best, its not a conspiracy. Anybody who watched the Lakers-Spurs series can tell you about the plethora of missed calls on Kobe, especially in game 5. While kobe has been known to complain, he was hit plenty of times with no call. And I know what you're going to say, so stop. The end of game 4 was a perfect no call. Refs don't decide games, especially when Brent Barry is 5 feet outside of the 3 point line. Get a better shot.
