Did Lebron James & Dwyane Wade go out of their way not to pass to Kobe Bryant in the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

Question

My brother is an NBA Scout, and he said he and other scouts noticed that it became very obvious that Lebron and Wade were going out of their way not to pass to Kobe on many occasions throughout the Olympics.

Answer 1

i wouldnt say that but i did notice a couple of times when kobe was open and lebron didnt pass to him, one instance that particularly stands out to me is when there was a fast break and kobe was open at the block and got ready to jump for the ally-oop when lebron on the other side with the ball goes up for a tough lay-up against two defenders instead of making the easy pass

Answer 2

Wade attracted the attention by driving through the crowd then passes the ball back out, but as for Lebron, all I saw him do was hog the ball all day long. Hail King LeBallhogger.

Answer 3

wat r u talking about..when it was a fast break and kobe,lebron,and wade, had wer ahead or the crowd lebron always gave it to kobe and not wade

Answer 4

YES JUST LIKE THEY DID WHEN THEY LET THE WORLD DOWN BY LOSING IN 2004!!

WITHOUT KOBE THEY LOSE ,KOBE MADE THE BIG SHOTS AGAINST SPAIN!!

YOUR BROTHER SHOULD WATCH MORE BASKETBALL OR GET A JOB THAT FITS HIM BETTER.

WALMART GREETER LMFAO...................

Answer 5

No your sources are incorrect, did you watch the game.  The game was close at the end and wade took it to the whole and passed it back out to Kobe who buried the three.

Answer 6

lebron and kobe are close friends people.......when they asked lebron this question he said "kobe passed me the torch",that means he likes kobe and plus they kept dishing' the ball to kobe so he shoots.Maybe wade didn't pass cus he is teamates with shaq but lebron did ok!:)

Answer 7

Ridiculous for anyone to think that.  If you look at the team stats, every player on the roster, based on minutes played shared the load pretty equally.  It was about the gold medal, not individual stats.  In the championship game, 4th quarter, Kobe got the ball from both Wade and James and we all saw what happened.  Kobe got the job done!

Don't know who your brother is but I don't agree with him.  

Answer 8

I've said it since the Angola game that the two made a pact that they weren't gonna let Kobe be the man anymore and its their time to be the man.
