Is Kobe the reason for Team USA huge turnaround?

Question

His leadership and mere presence on the team seem to be the difference. I think that's why players like D wade and Lebron are having great games.

Answer 1

Todd Wrong

Answer 2

no he is not! Dwyane Wade is the leader in points, assists and rebounds

Answer 3

lebrons the leader him and kobe and dwade

Answer 4

Part of it is the superstars that they got to play this time around but a large part of it has to do with choosing a coach that is a master of team basketball.  Team USA is acting like a team and not a bunch of allstars.  They aren't being selfish.  They are looking for the best opportunities to score and are playing relentless defense and rebounding on both ends of the court.  Something not always seen in the NBA.  

Answer 5

with or without Kobe they will win the gold

Answer 6

I'm a die hard Laker's fan and the way I see it everyone is helping each other out. The whole team is starting to click and four players in particulary are beginning to stand out in my mind. Lebron is the leader by voice, Kobe by action like his defense and hustle, and Dwade and Bosh due to their potent punch of the bench.

Team USA is a team effort which is why everyone is playing a role in helping the team succeed.

Answer 7

i think so, its not coincidence that the year that team usa wins the gold is the year kobe plays

Answer 8

No Kobe is one player on a TEAM...Meaning he has to pass the ball to tother players and not just take all the shots like he does with theLakers... There is no I in team :)

Answer 9

LOL, Lebron,BOSH,,WADE. Are the reasons they are older now and more experienced. Kobe is just there for D and for him to fill out applications for a European Job!  

Answer 10

Kidd is their leader.Wade is simply doing the best now.Kobe is simply doing great at keeping the tension and morale up.Paul supports them from the shadow.
