In today's lecture here at Lakers Fast Break University, we discuss one of the most impactful trades ever in the NBA. That trade was the Lakers sending Vlade Divac to the Charlotte Hornets for the Hornets 1996 first-round draft pick which became Kobe Bryant. Tune in as Professor Joe Soro, Professor "MagicMan" Sean Grice, and Dean Gerald Glassford discuss what the trade did for the Lakers to alter the course of their history, why Vlade Divac was also special, and the legacy that trade has left with the history of the NBA.
