Don't know whose team it was in '08, but I do know who closed that gold medal out and who everyone was tossing the ball to and getting the fukk out of dodge when the shyt got real.

08 24 2008 Team USA vs Spain Kobe 4th Quarter Heroics - YouTube

It's irrelevant who carried the team for 31 quarters.

Kobe's media manipulaton is legendary. He told everyone he was going to just sit back and anchor the defense while everyone else scored. Everyone gave him credit for putting his personal stats aside for the good of the team.

Guess who took the most shots by a wide margin? Guess who still didn't score the most?

yup..everyone knows bron and wade did the heavy lifting

over reacting nikkas but i shouldn't expect better from yall

nikkas need to start negging the fukk outta cats for this. They ain't even in London and cats already outta hand reacting to every little thing. Next thing you know someone's gonna make a thread about Bron getting out of the bus AFTER Kobe or some simple shyt like that.

ALSO, 2008 was Kobe's team. His will made that team go and damn near everyone deferred to that dude. Bron tried to lead, but he didn't really know how. I remember stories about how the team was adjusting their schedules to follow Kobe to morning workouts. I don't know about the 2012 team, but Bean ain't one to just defer to folks as far as alpha dog is concerned. Just look what happened when Kyrie tried to come at dude.

I'm not sure where you stand due to the structure of that sentence, but who carried the team for 31 quarters would ultimately be very irrelevant if Kobe hadn't carried them for that one unless people consider silver an accomplishment.

When a few of those olympic team members decided they wanted to create a team that could run the league, they didn't look to Kobe.

Your level of education is already reflected in your posts. If you found that sentence structure inscrutable, then you are practically brain-dead.

Let's try this on: Kobe carrying them for one quarter would have been irrelevant if Wade hadn't carried them for 31.

Let's try this as well: Wade was the only one who kept them in the final game long enough for Kobe to make a difference.

Let's end with this one: You are a fukkin illogical bytch and should be forced to read your own posts until you realize how stupid they are.

Yes because the straw that broke the camel's back would have broken the camel's back even if there was no other straw on the camel. It was simply a heavier and more destructive straw.

Using his trash talking to Irving and a story about his workouts in 2008 doesn't tell the story.

It's about production on the floor. Bryant played his role and was one of the best players on the team, but saying it was 'his team' is a reach and an attempt to pile onto a legacy.

I'm not trying to sound like I'm knocking him at all but I think saying it was his team is just playing into the story of his legend as it's told, instead of objectively looking at the team.

Bron led the team last night, and it resulted in a difficult win against Brazil, and lets keep this in perspective. Bron had a 5'9 165 lb player guarding him most of the game. He should have dominated and had 40/10/8.


Either way at this stage, this SHOULD be his team. League MVP and coming off a championship. It would NOT be a good look if Bean or Durant was the leader. Bron just better make sure this team wins gold, or they will be on his head again.

:what:

Kobe had just gone to the Finals and the Lakers were already set with Gasol and Bynum. Kobe wasn't going nowhere! He subsequently won back to back titles. So what the fukk are you saying?! Bilz you're not a dumb, but sometimes you're willing to play dumb for the sake of trying to make a point. In this case you just look fukking stupid!
