Kobe Bryant.

It just seems weird to me that Kobe seems to be in his prime when all of these other guys have been done for a few years. I know the guy was drafted out of HS, but it still seems so long ago.

Anyone remember Kerry Kittles?

Ray Allen was drafted the same year. Steve Nash as well.

How different things would be if.....


Kobe stays in Charlotte and plays his entire career there.....I'm guessing the Hornets are still in Charlotte...


Shaq plays his entire career in Orlando, with a healthy Penny Hardaway......

Marbury only cares about winning and him and KG stay together in Minnesota....

these are just a few any others??

No I think Abdur-Rahim went to Cal, the guy your thinking of was Chris Jackson when he was at LSU, I dont remember what he changed his name to

I think Kobe has already peaked, and it was that season when he hit 80 points in a game. Don't get me wrong he's still one of the best but I think the down turn has started
