WHY WE HATE HIM
Forced his way out of Orlando and destroyed a franchise. Bounced around the league because nobody could stand him. Superman with no leadership skills.
VILLAIN RESUME
Demanded a trade from Orlando, destroying their franchise. Lasted one season in LA with Kobe. Bounced to Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington. His immaturity ruined every locker room.
GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"Sabotaged the Orlando Magic's championship window by demanding a trade, then demanded another trade from the Lakers after one season with Kobe Bryant."
THE DEFENSE
Eight-time All-Star, three-time DPOY, and the most dominant center of the late 2000s. He eventually won a ring with the Lakers in 2020.
