Kobe agrees to Bulls trade only if he gets to be renamed “Michael Jordan”
LOS ANGELES, CA and CHICAGO, IL–After weeks of speculation, Kobe Bryant has agreed to be traded to the Chicago Bulls, but with an unusual stipulation.
“The Bulls are ecstatic to announce that we’ve traded for Kobe Bryant today,” announced general manager John Paxson. “Rather, I should say, the Chicago Bulls have traded for Michael Jordan.”
That’s right; the Bulls agreed to the trade with the Lakers, sending the Lakers forward Tyrus Thomas; shooting guard Ben Gordon; forward Andres Nocioni; two draft picks; and one special caveat–that Kobe Bryant is now known as Michael Jordan.
“This is not simply a semantic thing,” said Paxson. “The player formerly known as Kobe Bryant is now actually Michael Jordan. And I gotta be candid, the Bulls are thrilled to have Michael Jordan back in action.”
By a special arrangement as part of the trade, Michael Jordan will get to keep both the stats he accumulated as Kobe Bryant, as well as his previous statistics as Michael Jordan. READ MORE

Comment by Eujean Faith Timario on November 11, 2007
that is sooo false omg if u believe that then u r gullible cause
1 the bulls wouldnt give three players and a draft pick for 1 guy
2 the lakers would have 2 many ppl 4 their line up
3 their cap space would go mental
Comment by jaydan on November 14, 2007
dumb…
1. kobe would never change his name
2. it would take 2704958720934875 players to get kobes trade
3. lakers would have 3 more over the roster
3 mondeys gonna go whack because of gordon.
so yeah shutup because its not true and if they ever traded with bulls they would want wallace buddy for defense this is a lie dont listen to this

Comment by blah blah on December 11, 2007
BULL-shit, (get it). Kobe wouldnt get traded 2 the fucking bulls ! If kobe was gunna get traded it would be to the wizards 4 Antawn Jameison, Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas ! But that aint gunna happen. PERIOD
Comment by TaYLoR on December 13, 2007
thats bullshit.
2 things.
1. kobe bryant would never change his name to michael jordan for 2 reasons.
the real michael jordan wouldnt agree to have the same name even if he is now in baseball.
and the 2nd reason is that kobe has more status and followers than michael jordan does.
2. lakers would have too many over the roster.
fuckheads
