That's interesting. I said yes to the sidekick thing, but at the time I was unaware of the trade technique to get to your desired team, and simply demanded a trade and was traded to the Nuggets, then at the start of my 2nd season I just did the "demand best player be traded" thing and was successfully traded to the Bulls. I'll have to watch and see if any of my teammates are trying to punk me.
I just watched them again and that 2nd one is hilarious. Your guy gives him the point and just kind of looks at him for a second before backing up to he line, then looks at him and gives a little head shake like "whatever dude." That's awesome.
