But I mean oath, what a crop. The game was tight, and Australia to hold off against NBA players (which dont get me wrong - I show a lot of respect for them and think they're all awesome - specially Lebron, hes sick) But i mean, that made the game look extremely one sided - which was definitely not the end result.
Anyways, cant expect much, they have to promote themselves somehow.
calm down people. this is what the usa is doing experimenting their roster. if u notice they chane their roster in the 2nd half. playing international ball is diff from nba ball. so their still learning how to play. kobe is trying to make his team better also.
Yeah I'm really terrified of Greece, oh that's right they have no NBA players and this time around we have Kobe, J-Kidd, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Deron Williams, and LeBron, D-Wade, and Carmelo Anthony. Team USA will win the gold metal no question about that!
In 2006 Team USA didn't have Kobe the best player in the world, and they also didn't have Dwight Howard, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Carlos Boozer, and Deron Williams on the 2006 Team. Besides the Euroleague sucks whose their best player Josh Childress LMAO.
Iverson was a ball hog, LeBron, Carmelo, and D-Wade didn't get any minues. Also in 2004 Kobe was not on the team, and Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard and Michael were also not on that team.
@mpleportals Face it, USA has the best basketball players. People from all over the world come to the NBA because its the best. I mean basketball was invented by America, come on.
i dont even think kobe is the big one on the usa team , the real MVP is dddddddd wade. no him , last night usa already lose. kobe and james just dream out full night. he sucks
The reason Kobe hasn't been scoring as much as D-Wade and LeBron is that Kobe has commited himself to be the defensive stopper on the team because he knows everybody on the team can put up big offensive numbers.
Prime example of why i wont be shocked if team usa losses, they cant just come out lazy and expect to win. Espicially agaisnt much better competition. They only won by 11 and they didnt even have Bogut there best player!
I really like how Kobe is playing his role like a true sport rather than ballhog the whole game. I think he has finally realized he isn't the best and will never be and is allowing Wade and James to lead like they should. Kobe is just a role player on this team.
LOL. The way you "complimented" Kobe came off a little backhanded. Obviously you haven't watched basketball in the last 5 years, because Kobe Bryant has been the best individual player in the league. And he's only been a ballhog for 3 seasons really...i mean he's led the Lakers franchise in assists since 1999. If you honestly think Wade or Lebron are better than him you have some soul searching to do.
Kobe promised he'd defend the best player on every team because he knows no one else can.
Bitch please, the only reason he led in assist was CUZ HE ALWAYS HAS THE FUCKING BALL!!!! he either will shoot it or occasionaly pass. Either way Bryant has been surpassed by Wade and James and these Olympics shine a bright light on that.
No he didn't always have the ball. When Shaq was on the team, Shaq averaged the 3rd most FG attempts in the league behind AI and T-mac. Kobe shot less than Shaq while still having the most assists on the team. But no one calls Shaq a ball hog. You're a Kobe hater.
James is the only one worth discussing. He's equal or lesser than Kobe but not better. Wade isn't even close. He's played slightly better offensively than Kobe has for 5 prelim-games and now you're dubbing him the best? Idiot.
What about LeBron James who plays point guard, shooting guard, and small forward on the Cavs. The Lakers run a triangle offense which based on passing the ball.
EXACTLY. Lebron ALWAYS has the ball. He shot 2 more FG attempts PER GAME than Kobe did this year. But of course he doesn't get the crap for being a ball hog either.
Kobe plays within a successful SYSTEM. Lebron is a one man show. I dont even know how Wade is in this argument. His team had 15 wins last season while Kobe's got to the NBA finals.
Althought Spain does have a lot of talented players on their team: Pau Gasol,Marc Gasol, Rudy Ferndanez, Jose Calderon. The U.S. Spain game could go down to the wire but with clutch shot makers Kobe, LeBron, Wade Team USA will be great in cruch time.
I really would be stunned if Team USA loses a game in the Olympics because Team USA has Kobe Bryant, LeBron James Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard all who are undisputed Top 10 Players in the world. And they have the right team chemisty and great coach.
this is the most athletic usa team,,,ever...

Greece didn't have NBA players neither on 2006 (when you lost) nor on 2004 (when you nearly lost)... Do you have any euroleague players in your team?

Caramelo was there :p Kidd is too old now. Back in 2004 you finished last in our group. You had Duncan, Iverson, Carmemo, LeBron...
I doubt Childress will be the best. Dominique wasn't!

Finally Josh Childress was not that good. Panathinaikos still dominates (Euroleague, Greek Championship etc)

Exactly! Kobe knows that he doesn't need to score like he can because he knows that everyone can score and he is the best defender on Team U.S.A.
