The most embarrasing moment in American history

[Koolaid_Man]

The 2004 Olympic team was the first team in American History composed of professionals to lose in the Olympics. 1st Time In History. I was truly ashamed to be an American this day...

When comparing Kobe and Duncan we routinely leave out Leaderhip skills shown on the most important stage of your life.

To all of you old timers out there like JoeTait, Daddy of Trolls, DMC, and Tlong keep in mind that a measure of true greatness should be how you lead amongst men. Let's not forget that as a Nation we went from the:

1992 Olympics (Barcelona) – GOLD - The Dream Team ( Lead by MJ)

2004 Olympics (Athens) – Bronze- The Nightmare Team ( Lead by Duncan)


2008 Olympics (Beijing) – GOLD The Redeem Team (Lead by Kobe)



If I'm not mistaken Merlin Duncan was MVP of the league at the time.

Note:
* There is no video of the 2004 Bronze Ceremony

No. The most embarrassing moment in American history was when JJ Barea completely ted on Kobe and had a billboard in puerto rico dedicated to it.

[Giuseppe]

Hussein Obama is the most embarrassing momentPERIOD

Oooh, how I wish you were wrong.

once he's re-elected he'll be much more gangsta...Mark My Words...this game is Chess not Checkers..

enjoy these

[Killakobe81]

I'll say this much ...I normally dont include Oylmpic play (because if you did duncan's success in college and playoff would need to be and Kobe's Hs dominance)

But duncan was pretty bad in international play. In fact I have seen some fans upstairs claim Duncan was being "picked on" by international refs which is completely ridiculous.

Kobe did not shoot well in the Olympics but again he proved how clutch he was in teh Gold meadal game. every player seemed to increase their work ethic after watching kobe work that year (melo, Lebron Wade etc all admitted as much) and those that say Kobe is a ty team-mate compared to Duncan, routinely dismis that Kobe has the same impact on the Lakers ...

[Koolaid_Man]

That guy is a clown if I've ever seen one. I just might vote against him just to see his ass leave.

Facts please?

You want to see "clown" behold...

• Sarah Palin
• Mitt Romey
• Rick Perry
• Rudy Guliani
• Mic e Bachmann

If you can make a legit argument against Obama based on his policies since he's been in office ~ 3yrs then I just might concede defeat...you do realize that you can't turn an economy around in just a couple of yrs right? I need more than he's a clown...I live and breathe politics so I'm game for anyone willing to challenge me in this area. All those thinking Obama has failed I would like an explanation...not this he's threatening to raise taxes on corporations so they won't hire because of this..Fact is American businesses have been offshoring at record pace since Bush gave them their big tax breaks in the early 2000's. Progress isn't achieved overnight...don't bite your nose off to spite your face...If any republican is put back in office mankind will be set back 100 yrs. Republicans are nothing more than America's radicalized version of the Taliban. nothing more.

This is leadership my man..

"I really like Kobe a lot. He's easy to coach. He buys into everything. He's doing all the unselfish things, playing hard defensively, not really caring about who scores. It's all about winning. ... He'll do whatever he thinks he needs to do to bring about a championship. He's proven it and he wants to prove it again. There are lot of people who prove it once and never want to do it again. He's uncommon. He wants to prove it over and over again. There is nothing bad about Kobe Bryant." - Mike Krzyzewski

[Nathan89]

Too bad Kobe raped in 2004.

[Nathan89]

Per the usual Kobe is on a stacked team and his nut lovers want to give him all the credit.

[Nathan89]

Every man has date raped a time a two.

Maybe every man on the Lakers has. I definitely wouldn't doubt, tbh.

[Koolaid_Man]

This list you gave are nothing but jokes as well, but I see you've been caught in the political web. Run for safety brotha, it's just a game. Choosing sides makes no difference. What makes you think Obama would raise corporate taxes? That's the last thing he would do. Obama is more of a Republican than he is a Democrat to begin with. He sure did dupe negroes good... Well, at least they got a statue of that idiot MLK... then the earth quake happened.

Never under-estimate the power of progressive change...I'm a progressive-liberal-conservative..and Obama exemplifies that for me.

If there's one thing I want my man Obama to change is his tone...need to be more partisan and challenge republicans more on the facts. It's ok to be dismayed with politicans But reality is If you don't stand for something you'll fall for nothing...But life itself is a big game to be played. His first 1 yr in office was about health-care. After that he really didn't have the numbers to get much done in the House...so essentially it's been all about compromise and Rebulicans don't want that..so once he's reelected ( and trust me he will be) I hope he goes for the jugular.

The republican field will get shredded to pieces in a 1 on 1 debate with O...now that he's got 3yrs under his belt it's game on...

My vision of how all this works is on a 300 yr cycle. I'm looking way way way ahead at what I beleive time will reveal...even after Kool is dead and gone...

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Hussein Obama is the most embarrassing momentPERIOD

We've had bad presidents before. If he gets re-elected, THEN it'll be one of the worst moments in American history

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That guy is a clown if I've ever seen one. I just might vote against him just to see his ass leave.

Same. I never thought I'd vote Republican in my entire life but Obama has pushed me to that point (especially since his policies are as conservative as Bush's were).

[ChumpDumper]

lol the obsession continues

[Giuseppe]

Too bad Kobe raped in 2004.

You got no room. Your Neal raped as well.

[JoeTait75]

So you mean to tell me you've never had a woman get cold feet right before the ing starts?

Actually, no.

[Koolaid_Man]

Ignorance is truly bliss, my friend. I'll agree with you that he will get re-elected, that' for sure. Unfortunately...

That's what the KKK and the Tealiban would have you beleive....I'm riding with the Bill Maher Progressives on this one.

Now back to Merlin's quest for the latest dragon to slay

[djohn2oo8]

So you mean to tell me you've never had a woman get cold feet right before the ing starts, .

The usual for you

[Giuseppe]

So you mean to tell me you've never had a woman or man get cold feet right before the ing starts, and you just force your way up in there anyway? I've had that plenty of times, and they're always good once I'm inside.

Yes, DoK put up quite a fuss until I hit him with the ether rag.

You got sent to the basement multiple times, you didn't hit anybody with anything

[Fpoonsie]
