For the 13th pick in the 1996 Draft, the Charlotte Hornets will select Kobe Bryant out of Lower Merion (not quite the exact words but you get the point).
Yes folks, if so some reason you didn’t know that before Kobe Bryant was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets on draft day before being traded. This might be the greatest draft day trade ever if you look at who was involved in the swap and check KB’s career stats and awards. Yes, exactly what I thought guys.
With a Lower Merion Nike Kobe 11 already set to release this April, this Nike Kobe 11 ‘Draft Day’ will follow in its foot steps to further tell the story of Kobe Bryant and his illustrious career. The ‘Draft Day’ 11’s have an official colorway description of White/Blue Lagoon-Court Purple and are set to drop this April 28th for the retail price of $160.
