    We know Kobe has. And I remember Magic asked to be traded back in 1981. Kareem asked to be traded when he was on the Bucks. What other star players asked to be traded? Most of them do it behind closed doors,I remember reading a book saying that MJ once came close to asking for a trade if they didnt surround him with talent back before he won any les

    To be honest KG suffered for way too long.

    I think his Minnesota days also proved that he's no better than Dirk as the number 1 option.

    IIRC MJ said if the Bulls traded Scottie Pippen for the draft rights to Tracy McGrady he'd want a trade.

    More like his Minnesota days proved he's not as good of a #1 option as Dirk is.

    KG can be a key piece added for the foundation of a great team. But I do think it's proven that KG is basically a superstar role player. He's along the same lines as a Pippen or Worthy. Can be considered one of the greatest players in his era, has a superstar and franchise resume, but his best role is as a complementary piece to a great team.

    Also, I don't believe he ever asked to be traded from Minnesota. I could be wrong, but I thought even as discouraged and frustrated as he was when Minnesota became a bad team, he never demanded a trade. It was McHale and/or the Minnesota owners who figured that it was time to rebuild and trade KG while he still had great value. I remember hearing an interview with Chauncey saying how he and Tyronn Lue had to convince KG to ok the trade to Boston. At any rate, maybe there were other times KG asked for a trade. I don't know. But, I don't think he asked for one, at least the one that got him to Boston.

    Jordan demanded the Bulls pay him 30 million for ONE season or he was going to leave Chicago and play for Charlotte based on the principle. A way more tier move than demanding trade.

    Then you haven't played sports at any high level and accept losing. I'm pretty sure if you asked Dirk.... it's his #1 goal and priority.

    So, if you are comparing Dirk and KG and they have no les, why bring up les? At that point, by your logic you can compare them apples-to-apples.
