"Kobe may not be a great team player, but we think he will be a great team."

"Besides, 81 points beats a lot of teams, especially foreign ones," (David)Stern added.

"Kobe has already been working hard during the regular season to get accustomed to being the sole contributor of a basketball team," Colangelo said. "If he, and USA basketball, want any chance of winning the gold in Beijing, he's going to have to play the game as if he's the only one on the court. Anyone who knows basketball will tell you it will be an easy adjustment."

Its not a true article so don't go nuts about what was suposedly "said" by these real people.

Starting at the end of the 2005-2006 NBA season, Bryant will practice tip-offs, work on fundamental self-inbound passes, learn how to play defense, and draw up several play formations, each of which he will be responsible for calling during the games.



this article brightend my day. it is also uncannily spot-on. i leave with one of the more amusing pieces:



"Kobe Bryant shouldn't be the only one allowed to represent our country at the Summer Games," Sixers point guard Allen Iverson said. "I should be the only one allowed to represent our country at the Summer Games."

Actually Iverson is killing in his tenth year.

Nobody in history is this good and has a career year in their 10th season!

He made that "PRACTICE?!" comment a while back, but he has more assists than any other year he's played.

He gets three thumbs up from me.

Kobe is more of the arrogant misunderstood guy. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Everybody warmed up to Iverson now. Pihlly fans get stickers of his tattoos now in ticket gate promotions but back in his early days the NBA photo-manipulated them out of his pictures. >_>

I liked how it listed his accomplishments being getting Shaq kicked out of LA and 81 points in game, etc. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Iverson is playing out of his mind. I saw an interview on Stephen A. Jackson a while back that I really enjoyed. He was really articulate as he was trying to explain some of his actions the past couple of years. I definately had respect for the way he carried himself on the show.

And getting shaq kicked out made spit out the drink I had in my mouth I was laughing so hard.
