  • Lebron James a leader?............... ahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha­hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­hahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

  • the title says it all kobetards if kobe was they would have put kobe

  • Kobe, LeBron nd Jason Kidd were da leaders on da 08 team...Wade nd Melo scored da most...nd when it mattered da most Kobe took over in da clutch situation

  • So when Lebron was on the team by himself, they got bronze, but after Kobe enters the team, they win Gold by a blowout. C'mon I mean it's getting too obvious.

  • @lmaostrnoob What the hell are u talking about? LeBron didnt even play in 04 but Kobe did. And in 08 when LeBron played they won the gold easy. Ur so fucking stupid. lmao. Just stick to Nascar. U can be uneducated to watch that sport

  • @3wademiami

    Kobe first played in 2008 you fucking idiot, he never played in 04. Even in the fucking video, it shows the 2004 TEAM AND LEBRON IS STANDING THERE. Do you even think before yuou type or you're stupid ass just blurts out shit without processing it through that small brain of yours dumb fucker.

  • @lmaostrnoob LeBron didnt even play in the 2004 one. He said it in this video.Ur a fucking dumb hick.ANd in 2008 Wade was the best player on that team with LeBron being behind him when they actually had a chance to play.Did uknow that KObe attempted 20 moreFG attempted than LeBron while playing and LeBronStill had more FG made.Also,with double the assists.Oh,and also double the rebounds. U want me to go on?lmao.Im a fan of KObe.I have a authentic jersey of him.But u are RealRetarded

  • 165 million dollars for shotting a fucking ball are u fucking serious. This nigga probably doesn't even use the shit, nigga give like 15 mil to some families in Africa, afterall, they are his ancestors.

  • USA isnothng but gold after gold after gold, since when?? well since KB24 came to this team

  • @SuperKunno usa is always gold lol

  • Hi kubtards. The leader and if you watch games is LJ. where you get the kub wagon? I know ~ ESPN.

  • wade led in scoring, kobe was the most clutch when it counted, and lebron got all the hype.

  • Kobe.

  • Lebron travelled

  • leader of the band ! named the TRAVELERS...

  • @3:42 carmelo would beat yo ass

  • What!? Who said LeBron was the leader of the Redeem Team?! It was either Kobe, D-Wade, or J-Kidd!

  • @cKlutcHJ21 i would have to say J-Kidd . if it was lechoke that team would have got spanked

  • @HawkmanDude nah

  • Well he was a leader few years earlier in the championships and they lost -_-

  • jason kidd , kobe bryant and wade was the leader . LeBron was just dunking and shit

  • lebron travelled

  • Misleading title

  • LeBron's inflated ego has clearly clouded his judegement. I think history will show Kobe the overall better CLUTCH winner.

    Thank you and have a nice day.

  • It was Wade. Who lead in scoring?

  • Obviously the leaders on that team were Kobe and Jason Kidd...D-Wade, Melo and Lebron did most of the scoring while Kobe picked his spots and Kidd ran the team....CP3, D-Will and Dwight did their thing too

  • @lilzack24 Ur stupid as hell

  • love how he said "with egos" when is closed in on mello

  • I saw the title, and I lost my shit!

  • Comment removed

  • Kobe was the leader

  • Kobe, Wade, Carmelo, Howard, CP3 were probably the best players on that olympic team. Then LeBron lol.

  • It's an Olympic Team. Who cares who was the leader it's all about bringing home the gold

  • It's funny how the general public associates the term "Leader" of the Team as the person or player that scores the most. Being a leader is also having the ability to identify strengths in the ur team as well as weaknesses and addressing them in the attempt for progressive change.

  • @Ljoose

    yeah and niggers canT do that.

  • kobe and lebron were both the leaders, no point in dissing for the sake of it. he was a leader and still is

  • does it really matters who was the leader we will see next summer

    kobe most likely wont play though in next year Olympics

  • i sware to god the Hate for Lebron James is getting out of Control... hes the Best in the Leauge Hands down... 2 time MVP and runner up this year... i sware to god u guys are nutts... stop listening to the Media an draw ur own conclusion

  • @IhateMEXILANA he wasnt runner up this year, he was 4th, dwight was runner up, kobe was 3rd, plus kobes the best, not hating, but even MJ said kobes the best

  • to bad carmelo was

  • too bad wade was better than lebron and kobe

  • kobe was the leader tho.......

  • @HawkmanDude took the words right out of my mouth

  • Dwayne Wade is better than Lebron

  • @youngbloodfalife1993 kobe?!? hellloooooooooooooo lol

  • wade high.

  • ok since when hes the leader of the usa team??/ i thought it was kobe who had experienced more nba years than him

  • @HawkmanDude too bad d wade did everything

  • Thumbs Up if u think lbj is better than kobe

  • @acharya59 u got no thumbs up lol

  • @acharya59 No thumbs up rofl

  • dwyane wade ended up being the best player in in the tournament

  • @HawkmanDude pretty sure my explanation says it all...

  • are you kidding me?? HOW THE HELL CAN YOU ARGUE HE WAS ANYTHING BUT THE LEADER....last time I checked, he led the team with 124 points to Kobe's 120...4 points isn't a lot right?? ok, maybe...but LeBron did it shooting 60.2% compared to Kobe who shot 46%...need more than that?? 42 Rebounds, 30 Assist, 19 steals & 8 blocks.......kobe had totals of 22 Rebounds, 17 Assist, 9 Steals & only 4 blocks...so yea.... LEBRON > KOBE...

  • @bsuballer03 did u mention how kobe wasn't brought there to score, but to be a perimeter defender of the other teams best shooter. or the 4 point play late in the gold medal game that put spain's gold medal dream out of reach. stats wise lebron performed better, but watch a game see who led the team

  • @SolidG0D vocally? lebron led that team.

  • 4:09 lol ^^ xD

  • hes 23?

    ohh 26....2011. right.

    like if your watching this in 2011 :D

  • LEADER? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk DEAD

  • 0:40 Use only one finger...

    Lebron Okej:- Rolling with one finger and the result "FUCK YOU"

  • Ok we all can agree KOBE was the main leader, but LeBron was one of the leaders as well. Dude people so stupid saying LeBron was the reason they got bronze, nobody will remember it was actually Iverson that had the most missed shots most turnovers during that time, and Bron was only just past his rookie year, Kobe would not have done much better that early on.

  • the sport is invented on american soil? dumbass reporter basketball is invented by a canadian

  • LeBron's the reason they needed a "redeem team"

  • he was the leader when kobe wanst there and the usa team lost and next join kobe came back and brong the medal to USA kobe we will miss you when you leave

  • i came to just comment on the video and that lebron leader hahahha

    kobe leader that makes more sense cause its true

  • when was lebron the leader? it was either kobe and wade.......fuck the media...

  • yea. y the fuk does it say lebron the leader?

  • 47 kobe fans

  • @HawkmanDude

    Wrong. Dwyane Wade led in scoring, he was the leader.

  • @TheDunk180 Not to mention, Wade was on the bench.

  • @TheDunk180 If leading scorer = leader, then I don't know what guys like Steve Nash, CP3, Derek Fisher, Kevin Garnett, Shane Battier, etc etc are.

  • @theeboredone dude wtf,he's talking about team usa not the nba u morron!

  • @Lockoutsucks Did you read Hawkman's comment? He said Kobe was the leader of the team, and Dunk said back Wade was because he was the leading scorer. NBA, Olympics, whatever...leading scorer does not = leader. This was a collective effort. Kobe set the defensive standard, Wade scored, LBJ distributed, Howard dominated inside.

  • @TheDunk180 You don't have to score the most points on the team to be the leader. I thought everyone knew that.....

  • @TheDunk180 Lebron leads the heat in scoring, doz he lead the team

  • @TheDunk180 just cuz you lead in scoring doesnt make you the leader

  • @TheDunk180 Jason Kidd.

  • @TheDunk180 because kobe was doing defense

  • @TheDunk180 True, but in the gold medal game you saw who was taking all the big shots in the 4th. Either way, LeBron wasn't no damn leader for sure.

  • @TheDunk180 kobe was teaching them overall

  • @TheDunk180 as long we both know LEBRON WAS NOT

  • @TheDunk180 deaded lmao d wade is a tank

  • @TheDunk180 You don't have to score to be a leader , ask everybody that went to their practices "who was the leader ?" and you will get only 1 answer Kobe

  • to kidkhalifa96 lebron is a stat whore...

  • yeah kobe and kidd lead this team lol lebron is a pussy

  • LMAO Lebron wouldnt even be the leader now much less then, but i guess back then people thought he could do anything

  • Why does everybody bag on lebron so many people say he is the greatest player in the world now looking from his stats i think he is

  • Nothing about Greece and 2006.... ok

  • @HawkmanDude Actually D-Wade was the leader. No Wade no gold.

  • Ya'll need to get real and stop fucking Hatin on Lebron............even Kobe said he waz more of the quiet leader that led by example and LBJ waz more the Vocal leader get ya shit straight..............talkin about Dwayne wade fuck outta here leaders don't ride bench

  • @DRAMAKIN9 ...Ahahaha..Guess Somebody Didn't Watch The Footage...Lebron Didn't Do Shit But Joke Around The Whole Time...It Even Looked Like Some Of The Players Were Gettin' Tired Of His Ass....Kobe Was The Captain Of The Team...Wade Led Them In Scoring Consistently....

  • hahahahah lebron leader?!?! it was dwayne wade and kobe

  • @ajdude33 i STRONGLY agree.

  • YOU LIKE LEBRON? CLICK ON ME

  • If you watch the documentary of The Redeem Team you will se why the call him the leader! Dont be ignorant and think u can only lead by having the highest numbers in all the games! If thats the case,youve prob never led anything in your life!

  • haha soo much for redeem

    the nigga left and banwagoned it hehe

    KOBE all day every day

  • isn't the greatest speaker..

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz

    Atleast kobe fans make sense.

  • @NiferWee No they don't

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz well not right now because lebron just had problems with his shoulder , so yea , and if they went one on one kobe would win no offence to lebron . he still has very good skill though.

  • Basketball was not invented on American soil, A Canadian doctor invented Basketball...come on now Time Magazine!

  • @notoriouspunjabi in Springfield MA. aka America

  • kobe was the leader, and hes gonna be the leader in 2012 as well, not lebron, not durant, nobody

  • bullshit!!!!

    kobe is the leader of that team you assholes!!

    lebron can't even lead the USA till kobe comes lol

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz again you still didnt understand...there is no point in waiting and seeing..what am i gonna see? EVEN if the heat win this year (which they wont) it means nothing cuz Lebron didnt do it on his own

  • @HPhenomenal And when did kobe won on his own?

    Shaq?Gasol? I know that you would say even lebron had shaq, but shaq then and shaq now, its a big difference ...

    Anyway, i never said kobe isnt great, actually his far more greater than any nba player this last 10-12 years , and accomplished a lot,but the fact i dislike kobe is that when ever u mention LA this last 14-15 years, is kobe,kobe and more kobe... this supposed to be a team game right? not a one man show ?

  • @hacklberifiniot but lebron has 0 rings

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz im seeing the heat 8-5 record. thats really a reasonable record for a team wit dwade lebron nd bosh together.

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz you're a friggin idiot. Kobe won in 2009 and 2010 as the man on the team. He was the leader, it was HIS team. Lebron couldnt do it, so he joined the Miami to become Wade's sidekick. Now even if he wins a championship, it means nothing cuz he couldnt do it on his own. Its funny when people compare Lebron to MJ, he's not MJ...he's not even Kobe!

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz LEBRON HAS NOBODY?????? ROFL, RETARDED MOTHERFUCKER. SO HOW DA FUK CAVS GOT 2 STRAIGHT SEASON 60+ WIN, RANKIN #1 FOR 2 STRAIGHT SEASON IN POWER RANKIN, DESTROY LAKERS LAST CHRISTMAS? HOW MAN? TELL ME? LEBRON DID ALL THAT? LEBRON HAD A GREAT TEAM, HE JUST CANT LEAD CAVS TO A TITLE, CUZ HESA PUSSY, NOT A LEADER LIKE KOBE.DUMBFUK. ONLY TIME HE WINS, IS HE COME TO LAKERS, SUKIN KOBE DIK.

  • okay if lebron wasnt the leader of the team its cleary dwyane wade what the fuck did kobe do he was third in the team in scoring and obviously if kobe cant score like lebron, you know he would not be rebounding, passing, playing d(as good as lebron) or practically anything on the court except whining at the refs for calls

  • lebron is the better player now that hes with the heat he can average a triple double if he wants

  • @V1NNYZ1KO93 THEN DO IT BUT DON'T BE BITCHING PLAYOFFS IS ALL THAT MATTERS

  • Can anyone really see Kobe subjecting to LeBron's leadership? No i didn't think so...

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz yeah i mean 0 rings is wayyyy more than 5 rings right? stfu dumbfuck...go watch table tennis cuz u dont know shit about basketball

  • wtf? ever heard of someone named Kobe Bryant? stupid shit.

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz lol....o man. Go read a book on basketball young'n, lebron's status is way higher? status as what? a bust who doesn't know how to win any rings. Kobe 5 - Lebron 0. Time to play some catch up

  • @anklebreaka03 yeah because everyone on cavs sucked besides lebron while kobe has had always a good team e.g fisher, gasol

  • @kauaiRuffRidahz ur outta ur fucking mind

  • wow, if all the other players said lebron was the leader of the team, why do you guys still hate on lebron?? watch all the other player interviews where they say lebron was the leader of the team. the leader doesn't have to be the best player in a particular game or whatever. btw, his stats were crazy at the olympics, so can everyone just shut up? they all won gold, end of story. that's all that matters! damn, i swear...

  • Man all yall trippin true basketball fans know there wasnt just one leader .

  • All you guys shut the hell up, the only reason USA got medal was because of Wade. Sheesh shut the fuck up, I mean what an outstanding comeback after being injured.

  • LEBRON IS A PUSSY.

  • "my leadership is at an all time high" - never heard a real leader say that about himself before...

  • How does a 13 year vet, reigning mvp, 3 time nba champ, and fresh from a trip to the finals not get called the leader??? This is why i hold grudges against other players.

  • Kobe and DWade were the leaders. You saw how in the USA scrimmage, Kobe hit the game winner and Lebron missed it. Kobe hit 2 shots in Bron's face and the the last shot on Tayshaun cause Bron couldn't stop him.

  • WTF, Lebron could not even lead the Cavs, how the fuck someone can say a leader of the redeem team?

  • LeBronze did not lead this team.

  • WTF basketball is CANADIEN invented on his soil my ass

  • lmao this is how the media hypes up players im glad u all kno it was kobe who was leading ... kobe will neevr be lead by another person thats playing now.... lol this camera man is white hick that is a complete moron

  • i saw the title and lost my shit!

  • @thundaa123 fuckin same thing happpned to me once i saw it i flipped dude melo and wade are better than fuckin lebron

  • is he wearing skechers?

  • bullshit.. its kobe's team

  • Aubrie Wall Basketball-this girl may be pretty small-o.k. really small. but she has the heart of a lion. She's been work'n at bball for 2 yrs now, just started weight trainiing-check out her first video on You Tube

  • invented on his soil.. by a canadian... just throwin that out there

  • the interviewer shoots like troy murphy

  • wow lebron almost got kicked off of team USA. wtf is this. He was definatly last on the list for leading team USA

  • lebronze wasnt close to a leader...the leaders were kobe and kidd...dont believe me...what did they win before kobe n kidd came???

  • 4:09 lol

  • Everyone knows Michael Jordan is the best. LeBron is no were near mj. never will be

  • @YungAmazing7 he's not even near Kobe.

  • EVERYONE KNOWS THAT D.WADE WAS THE LEADER OF THE TEAM !

    Without HIM they would not win the gold medal...that said every player of the USA Dream TEAM !

  • @BHF1992 ever heard of Kobe Bryant?

  • wow people are so fucking retarded dwyane wade LED the team in fucking scoring, and lebron was next idiot Kobe was a third guy sorry to break to y'all d-wade was statistically the MVP whether the media and you idiots like it or not

  • @cb4allstar4 WORD, Dwyane Wade was the leading scorer of the bench! He shot like 67 % from the field and 50 % from the 3... led the team in points the finals against Spain with 27 (Kobe 20) and helped Kobe bury the game with a 3 after the Kobe clutch show. You can't give Kobe the olympics because of 5 good minutes of basketball, did you see Wade carry the team with these 2 Kobe and LeBron EVERYONE talking about before the break? He was crossing people meanwhile hitting the 3 ball all day...

  • @MMyhre yeah and I've never seen kobe or lebron come close to what wade did in 06 he single handedly won that title

  • @MMyhre shut the fuck up, man wade didn't get usa the gold medal. i'm not sayin he didn't help, he did a lot of things and he's done them right, but he didn't get usa the win. this is just stupid talks you got there

  • @krastavac55 Where do you see me saying Wade won USA the gold single handly? That's right, nowhere to be found. I just want the Kobe and LeBron homers to realize Wade contributed the best in these olympics, it was a team effort but Wade played like the olympics MVP. Even the ESPN guys said it... Of course it was a team effort overall, there were like 8-10 potential hall of famers in that team - BUT you see his stats... 67 % shooting and leading scorer off the BENCH? That's crazy...

  • @MMyhre yeah whatever, man. but truth be told if it's off the bench or as a starter - that has zero effect on shooting percentage and it's pointless to even bring that fact into the conversation we're having.

    but i do agree with you in some points, lebron was never the leader of the olympic team, at least not on the court and if wade had the stats you claim he had, it's way better.

  • @krastavac55 Haha, you get less minutes of the bench.. and it just shows you his strength, playing that good coming off the bench! For a guy that's used to starting and being the man all the time back in the NBA... the percentage was just to show you how good he played. LeBron wasn't the leader, I agree... he did lot's of stuff but he never made anything special to give USA the victories...

  • @MMyhre ... I Remember The ACTUAL TEAM FOOTAGE....If U Actually Saw It Then U Would Know That Kobe Was The Leader...Ahaha..He Was Seriously COACHING PLAYERS & Helping Them Through Situations While Wade Simply Practiced & Lebron Ain't Do Nothin' But Bullshit & Joke The Whole Time....

  • @CaveKanem I didn't say Wade was the vocal leader, of course Kobe should be the vocal leader of that team coming from a finals and a MVP season. Wade came from injury, and he accepted coming off the bench and just kept on dominating. I'm just saying he was the Olympics MVP, and ESPN agree with me so that's saying something... because they love LeBron/Kobe.

  • @cb4allstar4 basketball is more than stats believe it or not.... when the game was close in the 4th it was KOBE who stepped up and made the clutch shots that got USA the gold.... putting up 30 and boosting your stats in the early rounds means nothing

  • @KushPizzaSleep what? he didnt put up 30 he put up 20 and DWade led the team with 27 look up your stats, besides lebron can take a team waaaaay farther than kobe ever has cuz lebron's team in 2009-2010 was practically the same as kobe's in 05-07, and what did he do? ballhog, miss the playoffs and get knocked out by the suns 2 straight years, what did lebron do with his crappy team? took them to 2 straight 60 wins and back to back MVP's lebron would make the lakers waaaay better

  • @cb4allstar4 i said stats don't mean everything you fucking idiot, Lebron was NO WHERE to be found in the 4th...... KOBE was the one who willed the USA to victory, LEbron is unclutch and a coward

  • @KushPizzaSleep I'm the fucking idiot? kobe did nothing! haha it was wade you fucknuts go suck a cock you want stats how about kobe's 6/24 in the most important game of his career? exactly stats are everything they show if you did well or not kobe is a coward crying over a finger injury and atleast lebron isnt a rapist

  • KOBE= LEADER=MASTER BALLER

  • lePippen a leader????????? LMAO he's a fuckin sidekick. The Wade's bitch, specifically.

  • LeBron is leader kobe bryant is mushroom

  • I laughed when i saw the title

  • Haha Lebron a leader?? If Delonte West was the leader of the Cleaveland Cavs he would've had a better chance leading the team to it's first ring than Lebron had

  • i aint even gonna watch i just had 2 leave a comment.....you know kobe must have been like wtf when he heard lebron proclaim himself the captain.......without kobe hitting that 3 we would have gone down in flames cuz you know lechoke wasnt gonna take the shots. oh and wade was mvp ......just liek hes the mvp of the new miami team :)

  • I watched every USA game during the 08 Olympics. The best player was Wade and the 2nd best was LeBron, anyone who watched all the games and knows anything about basketball would have to agree. After those 2 it would be tough to rank. Kobe, Howard, Bosh, D-Will, and CP3 would be 3-8 in my opinion. Kidd and Prince 9 &10 and Redd and Boozer kinda went along for the ride. The only people that could tell you who the main leader on the team was is one of the 12 players or one of the coaches

  • Comment removed

  • haha, douchebags. i'm pretty sure everybody on that team that got interviewed and the coaching will tell you he was the leader. he was the vocal leader, controlling the whole defense, and kobe led by example

  • kobe is better than labron.

  • Stop talking shit about LeBron.

    He could won any one of you guys with one hand.

    You are talking like you would pro`s or something, but where are you now?

    Sitting home and playing computer, while LeBron is getting millions of dollars by doing what he likes to do.

    STFU guys.

  • @paolomagma I don't give a fuck what everyone believe they "know".. there was no true leader in that team.

  • @paolomagma everyone knows that D.WaDe was the leader of the team ;)

  • @paolomagma everyone knows youre lying cuz youre a hater...

  • @kingjamessolja oh really? then why does my comment have 8 thumbs up? Don't even get me started on your username. kingjames+solja? Pathetic.

  • @paolomagma 8 other kobe dickriders out of how many more people whos watched this shit since...thats not a lot you idiot..youre intelligence is pathetic....thumbs up dont mean shit...how does 8 dick riders like you make your opinion fact? lol youre pathetic...funny how TIME magazine refers to lebron as "leader of the redeem team"...just like this video...and the cover of TIME as it shows...lol youre pathetic...ignorance is bliss isnt it?

  • @kingjamessolja First of all, why do you resort to name calling and cursing? You're username shows how much of a dickrider you are. Hypocrite. Please, the Media will do anything to get ratings and views. It has been long known that since Kobe is near retirement, the NBA has been looking for the next big thing. All this Lebron praising and hyping up is for business. At the end of games, who carries the game?who holds the ball?who takes the last shot?Answer those questions and you have the leader.

  • @paolomagma how am i a dick rider when all im stating is the truth fag? and what is this? excuses excuses...blah blah blah..lebron was the leader...he held the ball lol...damn youre stupid...lmao its been long known since kobes been in retirement? lol...so kobe was near retirement 7 years ago?? HAHAHA...listen dipshit....theres no media hype to anything about lebron...hes surpassed whatever "hype" there ever was...hes the greatest talent to ever touch a basketball thats why hes the chosen1...fag
