The Official Team USA Basketball Thread: Going For The Gold

Same Melo who shot 43% like Kobe which was Kobe's 2nd worst shooting season.

Try again. You're about to strike out.

Kobe hasn't averaged less than 4 assists since 98-99. But Melo is a better passer than him.

No, Kobe is not a better passer than Melo.

No, Kobe is not a better scorer than Melo.

I never said Melo was a better defender, but the difference isn't definitive enough to make one guy a top 3 player like you delusional stans claim while Melo is usually ranked somewhere around 10ish

Kobe is a much better passer

I think he does that on purpose. He knows he's on the jumbotron and does some stupid face, going on the inside

We might meet Argentina again if they don't lose to Brazil

Somebody give me a Bart Scott gif

Actually he was and was shooting WAY more. He was just scoring a little better even though his % was still bad. Dude is not an international player.

I'm not talking about his shooting. I'm talking about how he's playing.

dude isn't playing in any sort of rhythm.

he still my nikka tho.

Ok I think u guys dont get the point why he agreed to take part of the olympics.
OV!
And he gonna get gold for that! Like a boss!

 

[Malta]

so which of those things that I listed is he better at?


You can't just say he's better and then pressed as to what he actually does better on the basketball court, offer up some intangible bullshyt like "leadership"



there's not a specific area of basketball in which Kobe Bryant clearly excels over Melo at this point in time.

You're not even being objective if you say Kobe isn't a better passer than Melo.

So why should I make an argument?

What's the story with Carmelo Anthony getting into a scuffle?

[Street Knowledge]

You know it's bad when I can't defend Kobe

LeBron is gonna dump D Wade for Durant.

I wouldn't blame him one bit, Durant is a dream boat on the court.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

So what exactly does Kobe do better than the Melo we saw towards the end of the season, then? Name a specific aspect of basketball that he is superior in. Aside from chuckin bullshyt contested fade aways with two 7 footers on his team

Ummm...Leadership,Defense,Passing, Getting past the 1st round of the playoffs
