agree.

NBA sixth man of the year
Re: You guys think Lebron is mad.........
A lot of wishful thinking here.
Who's calling this 'Kobe's team'? I'm yet to see a single media-person refer to the 2012 team as that.
More importantly, I don't think there's a single NBA fan out there, especially casual fans, who doesn't first associate the current US team with LeBron. He's comfortably the biggest basketball star in America.

The whole USA men's team coverage, seems to be revolved around Kobe. Kobe's on the tail end of his career, while Lebron is the man right now, you think Lebron feels kind of shafted that he's not considered the "man" on this dream team?
Really Lebron is talked about alot even more than Kobe. Even Announcers FINALLY saying Freely he is the best in the World.

If I were the other 10 players I would feel a little disrespected.

Why would Lebron get mad about it ? He will be the leader for the next JO.

LOL no. Lebron is NOT the biggest basketball star in America and you know that. He may be the face of ESPN (since they shove him down our throats) but Kobe is clearly is still the biggest and MOST popular basketball star in the world.
NBA just released their list of best selling jerseys internationally and Kobe is NUMBER 1. Not only in China, but in Europe and Latin America as well. Lebron is number 2 or 3 internationally. And even in America, Kobe is number 3, only behind Lin and Rose. Bron is 4.

You'll see who gets the most cheers in London (Hint, it won't be Lebron). You remember who got the most cheers in China 4 years ago right?
And i think NBA and ESPN are trying to make it Lebron's team. Hence why during the promos last night or right when it went to commercial, they had Lebron and Durant up on the promos.
ANYWAY OP, i don't think Lebron's mad. He just won a title, i don't think he cares that much lol. It is Kobe's team from a leadership standpoint.

Biggest =/= most beloved
Big difference... Kobe is an international star. It's like comparing Michael Jackson to Smokey Robinson

1. Outplayed? Yes. Destroyed? No.
2. Durant is going to cause HUGE matchup problems. Last night's display against DR is a sign of things to come.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Durant winds up the most productive team USA player at the Olympics.
