Are we gonna sit here and act like Kobe wasn't the worst player in 2008 Olympics???

[Gus Hemmingway]

Kobe shot awful compared to team USA standards, he was a complete liability on the Dream Team 2.0 in his "prime" years.

Outside of the gold medal game 4th quarter, Kobe was a complete disaster compared to the rest of the team

Shot 20-30 more times then Lebron + Wade with 4-8 less points

[FKAri]

Look at Carmelo's numbers. And we know he sure as fucc wasn't playing any D. Beast in FIBA play doe.

[JT123]

These stats don't surprise me at all. Kobe has never been able to play team ball, no matter how much talent surrounds him.

[DonDadda59]

Back when D. Whistle and LeBald were the 2 best players on the planet.

Outside that game he was TRASH

Yeah but that was the gold medal game. USA loses that, it's another in a long line of embarrassing failures on the National stage (Losing to Greece... 'winning' the bronze medal... really? ). The so-called Redeem Team would've been just another National shame. So Beans gets credit here as a National hero.

Yeah, let's blame LeBron for the 2004 Olympic team. No mention of Duncan.

[Real14]

No Kobe no gold, not even silver, definitely LeBronze or worse.

[Gus Hemmingway]

Lebron was a rookie on the 2004 olympics

Kobe didn't even START on the Lakers as a rookie

[knicksman]

the best proof that you can win with kobe but not with bran
