Lakers: How Kobe led the Rebirth of USA Basketball

[DAF86]

Media creating fake narratives to overrated Kobe, per par.

I could have been taking Kobe's roster spot and that US team and they would have won gold anyways.

[ambchang]

Timothy got us a dookie bronze, Kobe double gold.

And Melo’s got a triple.

Nothing says "leadership" quite like shooting 1-7 from three against China and 0-8 from three against Angola - Angola! - while LeGOAT and Wade carry your sorry ass.

[LkrFan]

^^ would you like another cup of ether, LkrPhan?

Nah - not even close

amb to Kobe is like David Dennison is to Hillary's emails. This dude got some serious mental issues.

What a surprise, an article talking about the greatness of Kobe Bryant with a whole bunch of quotes by Kobe Bryant.

Kobe is quoted. Most of the quotes are not Kobe’s.

Nate McMillan, Jason Kidd, LeBron, Colangelo. They were quoted a bunch. React to the “narrative” however you feel. You don’t have to misrepresent the article to feel a certain way. Early in the article, it even expressly says how Kobe was a loner that the other players didn’t really know. And it suggests they didn’t particularly like him either going into the Olympics.

While some fans will always bash and discredit Kobe no matter what, most of his peers, teammates, coaches, and guys who played and coached against him seem to have a sincere level of respect for him as a player and compe or. Kobe isn’t anyone’s best friend. He’s weird. But guys like LeBron and Wade appear to hold him in pretty high regard. Maybe they’re pushing some narrative too...

He also led the demise of the Los Angeles Lakers

Damn lefty. Humberto stayed the away from this post.....

[Bynumite]

He also led the demise of the Los Angeles Lakers

Kobe led a successful tank job which gathered enough talent to attract the best player in the league.

Jim left an autist at the helm and the autist proceeded to bail out

Not pictured: Kobe accepting a Bronze Medal! BAAAAAAHHHAAHAHA!!!

I’m not sure what article you are reading. There were only two quotes about kobe that wasn’t from kobe.

One is from coach k saying he set the tone. The other is kids about everybody getting better and how kobe and Lebron benefited from playing against each other.

How that would become some sort of proof as kobe brought team USA back is pure bull. Team USA got better because more people were willing to join after the 04 team lost. Colengelo and coach mandated players get together multiple years to get familiarity. To somehow say this is about kobe redeeming team USA is like saying Lonzo resurrected the lakers franchise because Lebron talked to him and decided to join.

I know you hate Lebron and love kobe because now kobe essentially gifted you guys a ring in 04 whereas Lebron shut the door on you guys but please be objective.
