if team usa spent the whole time "deferring" to kobe, wouldn't that just make them the lakers?

there is too much talent there to just say give kobe the ball... i look forward to winning gold but i am NOT AT ALL looking forward to everyone saying that it was because kobe was there*

*if he turns out to be the indisputable reason we won it, fine, but i just don't see that being the case.

yes, kobe is a great player, there is no arguing that, but being the sole reason a team of all star caliber players beats world wide competition, that's stretching it...
