We Remember: Kobe Bryant Drafted by Hornets with 13th Pick in 1996

As Kobe Bryant prepares to play in the final game of his legendary 20-year career, we look back at the night that the Charlotte Hornets made him the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft.

Charlotte would go on to trade Bryant less than a week later, and the rest is history. The Black Mamba, of course, would never forget the way the Hornets handled the situation.
