[h1]Kobe Bryant says he has nothing to learn from his Team USA teammates[/h1]
6 hours ago by SteveDel

Kobe Bryant  has the type of sarcastic attitude where you can never tell if he’s joking or serious. He’s one of the cockiest players in the history of the NBA, which is also why he is one of the most successful and a lock for the Hall of Fame. To many players, Olympic basketball is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a learning experience. Kobe, on the other hand, is too good for all that.

According to USA TODAY Sports, Bryant says he is in a place in his career that everyone else on the team wants to get to. He also says there is no player on the Team USA roster  that can teach him anything.

“I’m where everybody wants to get to,” Kobe said when asked what it’s like to be the old guy on the team. “I just happen to be still playing.”

He was then asked if he can learn anything form the younger players on the team.

“No,” he replied. ”I don’t know if I know it all, but I know more than they do.”

Oh yeah, and he is also the self-proclaimed best post player on the team — ahead of lone center Tyson Chandler.

“No, no, no,” Kobe interrupted when asked if he was the second-best post player behind Chandler. “Not other than Tyson Chandler. I’m the best post player on this team, period. Tyson Chandler is not in that conversation.”

Maybe Bill Plaschke is right about this guy. In terms of NBA accomplishments, you really can’t argue with him. We know how he feels  about dumb questions, so it’s also possible he felt the aforementioned questions weren’t worthy of genuine responses. I don’t know about you, but I think game of two-on-two between Kobe, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony is in order.

Kobe.

Best post player? You can make an argument for that. Height aside, he does have the biggest array of moves. Ty isnt really a post player, more of a pick and roll guy. You arent gonna give the ball to Ty and clear out under the rim for him to do his thang.

it's not really an argument. name me one player on team usa that has a post up game like him and moves on the low block, compared to kobe? a lot of people might start crying when i say this, but even jordan didnt have post up moves like kobe

Melo.

But thats a weak argument, hes not a post player but can finish in the post with ease.

Damn Kobe my dude but when i hear him say he cant learn ANYTHING from the other players it just sounds silly, i hope he doesnt really believe that and its his bravado talking.

Should be takin some notes from these youngsters, at least learn that wicked euro-step from Harden.

 

[and1play5]

I heard that article was fake y'all

 

[Ofc.Phan]

Does anybody have the GIF of Kobe continuously bumping shoulders with LeBron on the bench during the Nigerian game? I know I saw it somewhere on NT, not sure if it was this thread exactly though.......

i think he already knows how to use that so-called euro step.. remember that kobe is basically from europe.. and footwork wise, there is nobody better.. i agree that melo has a little bit of an inside game, but nowhere near the footwork and moves like kobe

Not sure if this was posted in here, but after the game Kobe was forced to take a drug test in which case they "Radomly" choose a player from the team to test.

Wonder why they didn't choose Lebron?
