While on vacation this week, the buzz around the condo that I was staying in was about the statements that Kobe Bryant made about the 1992 Dream Team. Yes, Kobe feels the 2012 team is superior, and I blogged about it (inside the numbers) on my personal site because it was intriguing to me. If [...]The post 2012 National Team, Kobe Bryant And The 1992 Dream Team Snubs appeared first...

When Kobe Bryant caught wind that David Stern was tossing around the idea that members of team USA be age 23 or younger, he called the idea “stupid.”
Calm down, Mr. Bryant, this isn’t the worst idea the commissioner has proposed.

This is a little bit of old news at this point, but Kobe Bryant let it be known that he thought the current version of the Dream Team could beat the original Dream Team. My initial thought was to scoff at him completely; it’s one thing if he wanted to compare the team that was planned for the Olympics, but now that Rose, Dwight, et al there seems to be a sizable gap. Rather than...

Last time I went over the Jordan vs. LeBron dilemma, you can read that here.But now, I think it's time that I tackle this very subject at hand. Many have said that Jordan is better than Kobe and then you have some people that say Kobe is better than Jordan.

The Lakers declined to use their "amnesty" provision before Tuesday's deadline, meaning Metta World Peace can keep partying.
The team could have waived him without having to pay luxury taxes on his salary, though the Lakers decided against it. World Peace, 32, has two more years and 15 million left on his contract.

Kyrie Irvings summer ended with a broken hand, but that bad break cant erase what he gained.
Which was a lot.
Irving spent the past couple weeks practicing for the U.S. Select Team, a group chosen to work against the Olympic Team. The constant buzz that came out of Las Vegas during and after these practices was that if one player stood out, it was the Cavs Rookie of the Year.

This may ruffle a few feathers, many will call me un-American or some other crazy name, but I have grown to dislike this years version of Team USA.
Why you ask?
Hubris.
Hubris is defined as an overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance. Let’s be honest, that pretty much defines 80% of this Team USA roster. Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Blake Griffin (he was a part...

One word: joke.Look, the 1992 Dream Team was a group of the most competitive, tough, basketball-smart, talented but yet seasoned collection of hoops players of all time. The NBA's current most talented player, Kobe Bryant, shed some light on the debate on whether or not the 2012 "Dream" Team could knock off the famous '92 Team. Of course, Kobe being Kobe claimed...
