Kobe's controversial statement "I would like to be traded" resonated throughout the NBA and the internet.

Kobe drama has been well documented publicly -- the feud between him and Shaq, him and Phil Jackson, and of course the alleged rape case in Colorado.
But in all honesty, if I played with underachieving scrubs like Brian Cook and Sasha Vujacic, boneheads like Smush Parker, and losers like Kwame Brown, I would probably be pretty irritated too. Kobe's Lakers are looking more like Paul Pierce and the Celtics of the West. I'm sure being on Karl Malone, Mitch Richmond, and Gary Payton's farewell tour, rather than trying to snag some young talent, probably wasn't any better.
