It's an alternate universe, and Kobe Bryant was never traded to the Charlotte Hornets. So what happens if he had stayed in Charlotte?
It's an alternate universe. The Charlotte Hornets are on draft day, and they have decided that their best option is to draft Kobe Bryant straight out of high school. A risky pick for sure, but this kid has a lot of potential and might do some great things some day. In comes an offer from the Los Angeles Lakers to possibly trade for their big man, Vlade Divac, and send the high school guard out west.
