Kobe Byant's Defense Leads Team USA Basketball
Kobe Bryant is best known for scoring tons of points in basketball games. He's taken the role as Team USA basketball's best defensive player and relishes his role of stopper. He's usually assigned to the opponents best offensive player by Coach K and his job is to shut him down. Kobe is inly averaging about 11 points per game for Team USA and that's okay with him. He knows what his job is and he is being unselfish,
I've never been to much of a Kobe fan the last few years. I used to love the Lakers with Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe as teammates. Kobe's image took a big hit with the rape allegations against him too. I've got to give him credit though, he has stuck with the Lakers and brought them to the NBA finals. He won his first MVP award. Kobe Bryant did not get into a war of words in the press when he learned of Shaq's stupid rap song that "dissed" Kobe. Now Kobe is playing for his country and not scoring all the points and letting other players like Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Carmello Anthony handle the scoring load. I'd say Kobe has come a long way in my book and I give him credit here for that. I hope that he continues to play the great defense he is as in the Team USA warm up game victory over Russia.
