What if Kobe played for Italy in '08???? - Message Board Basketball Forum

Would they be a big threat for the United States in the Olympics???

Belinelli/Kobe/Bargnani would be an amazing combo.

He would be a sellout.

I'd like to see it. He's not suited to being a team player anyway. Maybe he can take Wade with him as well

if he keeps getting hated on i say he does it to spite all of the other players.

although his team would still lose to america...which would only embarass him. he does like a challenge however.

u dont kno if they would lose. italy almost beat US.

If he did it and scored like 60 points on the states it would be one of those games they put on his DVD after he retires

HAHA, that would be awesome if he played for Italy and they beat the States. That would kill a lot of his fan-base though, and make him even more hated in the states.

Negative repped for this?

Maybe I should have pointed out that Kobe would do well being the main guy for Italy. A role that guys like Manu, Pau and Dirk are very comfortable with. Kobe would be equally good for Italy.

It wasn't an insult as such to Kobe, just saying he doesn't fit the US team. You gonna negative rep LeBron James as well?

P.S. Also, "Shut up homo from NZ" didn't work. Your rep must suck, too bad for you. Come on guys shoot all the negative rep at me you want. Let's see it.

5 bucks says Gilbert arenas just happens to trace his roots back to somewhere like senegal and gets into the olympics or next int-l competition that way, because team usa is "fixed" and they all hate him and no one wants to be his friend

Kobe on Italy would be sick and would begin the first real Int-l rivalry that anyone really cares bout.

Areans on Senegal would be classic. I'd like to see him play for Qatar as well, he's acting like a terrorist, why not play for them?
