Coach K names his best player on Team USA

[DuMa]

Mike Kryzyzewski on LeBron's 30-point Team USA performance Monday, "LeBron played great. I think LeBron is not just a great player; LeBron is a great competitor. When he goes to the basket, he doesn't -- he doesn't get the call, even when he finishes, because he's so strong. He goes through contact. His will to win was the most inspiring thing that we had on our team. He's has a very, very competitive game, our best player."

LeBron is the best player in the world by a fair margin.

Thank you for stating the obvious, Coach K.
The best player in the world is bound to be the best player in any team he plays.

Wow, so surprising

[get these NETS]

coack K KNOWS he has a team with some ULTRA competitive guys....and on top of motivation to win.....this is EXTRA motivation for each guy to play better (within team concept)



I like what he's doing.......he's been around greatest players in the world since the REAL dream team and he understands which buttons to push this time

Well ofcourse...? I agree with the "When he goes to the basket, he doesn't -- he doesn't get the call, even when he finishes, because he's so strong" part aswell.... lots of times there is contact you can barelly notice because due to his size/strength/athleticism going against either undersized or weak perimeter guys it looks like nothing happened to him, players got away with such fouls on Shaq aswell.... its like if you punch/push a wall with all your might, nothing happens to the wall, but you still threw a punch/pushed... and that is a foul...

fact is.... lebron needed kobe to decline before this happend

last time kobe was the best player in the nba he won finals mvp averaging 30ppg in the playoffs

2011 was his drop off year when he realised his body couldnt hold up anymore. needed that knee surgery in germany just to stay in the league after that... i'm actually surprised hes back up to 28ppg... a top 3-4 player in the nba in his 17th year is amaizing

lebron is the best... but only by default.. his best competition is nearly retired..

durant is the next guy but hes not even prime yet

I thought it was Kobe. Why aren't his friends here aren't stepping up defending his honor?

Edit: Never mind. Kenneth came.
