Should be easier to lead Kobe and Wade since they're, you know, good players, as opposed to say Wally.

It's laughable how bad you downplaying everyone else.

Wade was there "ALONGSIDE" Kobe in the clutch? More like heads and shoulders above ANYONE in the clutch. Clutch isn't just a 90 second stretch with 2 minutes to go in the game. Clutch is the entire freaking gold medal game.

And Lebron was "solid" throughout the Olympics?

Try "the best player on both ends of the floor for 85% of the tournament".

Solid? You gotta be sh*tting me.

He's just motivating his teammates by saying that he can lead Z, Mo Williams, Anderson Varejao, Daniel Gibson, and Delonte West back in the Eastern Conference Finals.

.

Actually, to say "If I can go out and lead Kobe, I can lead Daniel Gibson" is more talking down to Gibson than motivating.

I don't think so. Kobe and Wade are used to leading a team. Wally and Ilgauskas are roleplayers, accustomed to being led by a great player.

If you had Lebron, Kobe and Wade on your NBA franchise, would you ever be afraid of a team because they have Manu Ginobili and scrubs?
The way to beat team USA is to force them into decisive moments, where the instinct that every single one of them has to "take over a game"...takes over. They squable and don't move the ball as each tries to save the day single handedly (but it doesn't work without roleplayers running the offense to you and playing defense) and the best players in the world become beatable by international scrubs.

Resurrection is Poseidon. Jeff banned his primary account after the Celtics beat the Lakers in the NBA Finals.

Wtf? After Spain cut the lead to 2 with 8 mins left, Kobe came out of the timeout and scored or assisted on 10 straight USA points to build the lead back up, 5 minutes before the 4 point play. I know you're trying to make a point that other players were clutch, and they were, but it was clearly Kobe who took the reigns over in the clutch that game.

[Laker4Lyfe]

Where did Kobe say that? He said LeBron was the vocal leader, but that he had a different leadership style than LeBron.

With that McCalin/Palin avatar I KNOW that you don't have good judgment. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with what LeBron said. Everyone INCLUDING KOBE said he was the leader, get over yourself.

Actually, to say "If I can go out and lead Kobe, I can lead Daniel Gibson" is more talking down to Gibson than motivating.

Gibson's got some serious issues if he actually thinks he's at Kidd's level. Are you saying that Gibson and Kidd are comparable?

[aznboy2k2]

LOL.

How many videos of the USA basketball team do we need to see where Lebron James is interacting and joking around and looks like he has the respect of the other players?

How many videos of the USA basketball team do we need to see where Kobe Bryant is isolated in his little corner or acting awkward? Do we really need to find that picture where Kobe is jumping in air celebrating by himself, while the other players are all in a circle?

If being a leader means youre the best player. Then Dwyane Wade is the leader.

But, vocally, I'm willing to bet it was Lebron James that was the leader.
Probably Jason Kidd as well.

But definitely not the awkward turtle, Kobe Bryant.
