Kobe looks insecure and useless out there

[ezau]

The guy is the fourth-best option for Team USA on offense out there behind Lebron, Durant, and Melo. And did you guys see how Lebron carried Kobe in the dying minutes? :lol:lol No one was even looking to pass the ball to Kobe when the outcome of the game is still in doubt:lol:lol

[wanggi]

Rapist doesn't know how to play for non-oneman-team.

Kobe would have taken a hero 38-footer with the shotclock at 2 after having the ball 18 seconds in his hands.

[Bynumite]

Right now, Kobe is Tim Duncan-ing it, 04 Olympics style tbh.

Minus the fact that Kobe is 34 and Jim was 28 and in his prime in 2004 but that's irrelevant, right?

In the end, Kobe's still bringing home the gold though.

Kobe 2 > 0 Duncan... tee, hee :lol

[BRHornet45]

sons you all know I am no Kobe fan, but Spur fan has absolutely no room to talk when it comes to Olympics ...





another thing sons is not only did Argentina sweep and mop the floor with Duncan's U.S. team in 2004 (the most crucial game of their Olympics which Duncan shit the bed and only scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, and turned the ball over 3 times see link below) ... but even Lithuania beat them as well. yes Lithuania!

http://archive.fiba.com/pages/eng/fa/game/p/gid/A/grid/38/rid/3822/sid/3183/_/2004_Olympic_Games_Tournament_for_Men/statistic.html

(btw another interesting tidbit ... Ginobili stepped up for his country and delivered 29 points in that game while Duncan couldn't do shit for us)




so just to set the record straight with statistical facts. Tim Duncan was clearly the best player on the 2004 Olympic team, I mean it was his team. However in the two biggest games for the U.S. team in 2004 Duncan was pretty much nowhere to be found ...


Semi-Finals vs Argentina

Argentina: 89
USA: 81

Duncan: 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 turnovers


Top USA Performer

Stephon Marbury: 18 points (8 of 15 shooting)




Bronze Medal Game vs Lithuania

USA: 104
Lithuania: 96

Duncan: 6 points (1 of 7 shooting)


Top USA Performer

Shawn Marion: 22 points (9 of 15 shooting), 6 rebounds, 3 steals

lol @ this thread., obviously kobe knows he doesnt have to do much to win the gold, they are extremely stacked compared to the competition. im not buying that USA doesnt have size bull shit we have a shit load of talent. thats enough. 2008 gold medal game vs spain.. usa would have lost that game if it wasnt for kobe.. if needed he will step up as always, thats when he shoots his load in ur mouths and u accept it gracefully.

Kobe always been streaky, even during the 3peat. He would dominate 1 series and be a clear 2nd banana the next. Only thing that changes is the size of the gap between his good games.

[midnightpulp]

that TOSB in his prime was useless tbh, duncan looks retarded outside of the spurs system

That's why Duncan was Team USA's leader in points, rebounds, and FG%.

Meanwhile, Kobe shoots like 10% vs. Angola.

And his '08 Gold Medal game is massively overrated. Not only was he outshined by Wade in the game, but he also let his main assignment, Rudy Fernandez, drill him for 22 points. So much for that "doberman defense."

Kobe's a mediocre FIBA player. Always has been.

[Jodelo]

if needed he will step up as always

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao Like against the Thunder?

[ChrisRichards]

Yeah actually I agree, Spurs fans really have no room to talk tbh. Duncan brought home a bronze medal for crying out loud :lol How can you allow Iverson and Marbury run the team when you're the only player in the rsoter with Championship ring? :lol Losing to Puerto Rico by 19 points should be a wake up call but no sir, they had to be embarrased twice by losing to Argentina in the same month. Kobe may be a ballhog but I think he would come out guns blazing against Aregentina fwiw.


And people can't blame James and Wade here fwiw. Brown gave majority of the minutes to his veterans.

Part 1

The American Standard Of Pride, Perfection, and Excellence Was Set With The Dream:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/1.jpg

Next It Was The Great Tim Duncan's Turn To Lead The Nation Back To It's Perfect Gold Medal Traditions

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/2.jpg

Tim Started Team USA Out Of The Gate Strong and Determined:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/3.jpg

He Anchored The Paint and Took No Shit:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/4.jpg

It Soon Became Clear He Simply Wasn't Up To The Task.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/6.jpg

You Could Routinely Find Him On His Knees Wishing, Hoping, Praying:


http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/5.jpg


He soon Became A National Disgrace By Leading America to a Bronze Medal:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/8.jpg


He Was So Embarrassed By This Disgrace He Couldn't Even Look America In The Face:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/7.jpg


To Make Matters Worse After Collecting His Bronze Medal He Cried Like A Baby...Blasted The FIBA Referees, and Swore He Would Never Play For The US Again In The Olympics.


Tim Duncan wore a haggard look as he emerged from a locker room of bronze medalists. Hardly an emotional guy, he mumbled that his international basketball career is "95 percent" over and that, oh yeah, "FIBA [stinks]." Talk About Leadership:


Nothing, it seems, can get Duncan to buy into playing for the United States again. He was asked if his own misgivings about playing internationally would hurt the recruitment of other marquee players.


"I hope not," Duncan said. "I'll try not to share my experiences with anyone."
Here's the proof: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42585-2004Aug28.html

I'm not siding with KoolAids but this is one of those rare moments where he actually brings the goods :lol

Part 2

After Duncan's, Lebron's and Wade's...Embarrassing and Dismal Performance On The Olympic World Stage..Kobe Finally Emerges Fresh Off False Accusations To Set The Standard and Reclaim The Glory Of Perfection and Excellence For the USA:

He tells the media:

"I won't fuck up and embarras us like Duncan did"

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/10.jpg

He immediately sets the tone for Lebronze, Wade, and Melo:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/11.jpg

His Hard Work and Determination Puts the USA Back On Top Of The Basketball World and His Teammates Hoist Him Up In Appreciation:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/12.jpg

Finally Gold Is Restored...and Thanks To Their 2004 Performance We Can Now Officially Say Lebron Can't Win Gold Without Kobe: :lol

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Koolbreezey/Misc/13.jpg

Now In 2012 It's Once Again Time To Win Another Gold Medal for the USA...Kobe Instructs His Players On How He Wants Them To Perform While He Chases Tail :lol

Boo fucking hoo, the story of spurfan life: "Kobe's a mediocre player compared to Merlin" :cry Cry me a fucking river spurfan :cry

Somehow, Kobe always manages to end up with more titles in every relevant competition.


NBA titles:

Kobe 5 > 4 TOSB Duncan

Olympic gold medals:

Kobe 2 > 1 shit stained bronze medal for jimmy boy


And before spurfan plays the "help" card, notice how Jim can't win gold without the help of frenchie and baldie.

Kobrick shouldn't be surprised, LeGold has always been the better clutch player tbh... check the stats.....

LeBron has discovered his clutch gene
Melo is a beast when playing with FIBA rules

TOSB Jimbo is a product of the spur system and he doesn't know how to play outside that system... simple as that.

Exhibit A: The 04 Olympics, hence his refusal to return to team USA after that shameful performance.

[Capt Bringdown]

Another coat-tailing triumph for Kobe, nothing new to see here.

[ElNono]

rofl even the announcers were like commenting how kobe was useless and just chillin out there unless he was creating his own shot..which doesn't work in international ball. iso ball had us up 1 at the half, once they started driving and kicking, moving the ball around with 3 or 4 passes they got a wide open shot every time and blew the game wide open.

KD was a monster in that 3rd quarter... and Lebron is just unstoppable right now.

Kobe feeling comfortable coattaling better talent is nothing new, tbh...

Did you talk about playing through LeBron to start the second half?
Kobe: No we just talked about being more aggressive … start of the half we went to him in the post on (Andres) Nocioni, got one bucket, went to him again, got another bucket. We just kind of feasted off of it. When KD gets hot, we go to KD.
