KOBE BRYANT
Former Lakers coach PHIL JACKSON came out yesterday and said that he wanted KOBE BRYANT traded last January. Of course that never happened, and Kobe chased both SHAQ O'NEAL as well as Phil Jackson out of Los Angeles.

Last night in the Lakers pre-season opener Bryant scored 35 in a loss. I know it's only the pre-season, but Lakers fans get used to it. You're going to see that a lot in this upcoming season.
