Kobe Bryant reminisces on his draft day by taking a swipe at the Hornets. Kobe Bryant in 1996. On July 1st, 1996, Charlotte Hornets draft pick Kobe Bryant was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac. 18 years later, the five-time NBA champion reminded the Hornets of that decision. To be fair, the Hornets went from 41-41 to 54-28 with Divac, and Bryant played 15 minutes per game in his first season.
Bryant was considered to be one of the best available players in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft, and was scouted by the Houston Astros, who had the first overall pick. After the Astros selected Mark Appel with the first overall selection, the Chicago Cubs chose Bryant with the second overall selection.
