Kobe was matched up against a player that he knew he can take all day, why shouldnt he play with confidence???

Question

He wasnt showboating, if he was he would have scored atleast 40. If he can drop 81 on a NBA team he could had dropped atleast 40 last night if he was showing off. I dont get why everyone hates the guy for his talent and making it look easy or the fact he is happy to be in the spotlight and love to be playing for our Country and trying to restore Pride and the gold, grow up haters. If he sucked like Kwame i could see hating him but look around, Pierce even said it was too much for Pierce to comit to. Pierce wont even stand up and take the time to play for his country and where is KG and all of the rest of americas greats?

Answer 1

Yeah, unlike Paul Pierce standing on one leg, this time Kobe got to play against a player he can handle.

Answer 2

I agree...at least Kobe is actually playing for his Country.

Answer 3

What up tmpl924,

Haters are haters- and anyone who thinks the Olympic Team is worst off without Kobe are trippin'.  He was the one who set the precedent in the FIBA's Americas by being a defender- and what was most impressive yesterday was their team defense.  

Kobe is committing to this in spite the fact he needs to also have surgery- so this about the country - not about Kobe- and i'm not sure why all of us who are Americans and rooting for team USA got to keep trying to dividing the team and hating-- isn't that the purpose of the Olympics- he's team USA- and if you love the USA-- leave the dude alone...
