he was thinking about the insane reception kobe got in last olympics. even lebron had to admit it. "kobe is by far the most popular athlete here period" i'm paraphrasing but thats pretty much what everyone found out. even kobe didnt know it was that insane when they were in china. everyone assumed LBJ since espn hyped him up like crazy and nike pushes him more so then kobe since kobe is the old and lbj is the new. yet and still china went NUTZ for kobe. like no other athlete there. they went crazier for kobe then they did for Yao Ming one of their own. thats insane. they really appreciate that dude overseas. because they dont understand the hate over here. they just judge him on his game. and they also love the fact that unlike any of these other nba stars. kobe is partially and overseas guys because he grew up in italy and philly. he speaks multiple languages(english, italian and spanish). kobe loves soccer and has said he loves one of soccers best players. so again. this pushes kobe into the stratosphere when we're talking about overseas love.

And that's just from this YEAR, when Kobe's team wasn't shyt. Imagine him winning. 16 years in and still has the number 1 selling jersey worldwide? You serious? Who doesn't have a Kobe jersey by now. His worldwide popularity is insane.

Oh and here's is just one of many articles about Kobe during the Olympics back in China. Among hoops-loving Chinese, it's a slam dunk: Kobe is king - USATODAY.com

Lebron's direct quote: Says teammate LeBron James, "I thought I was famous until I got here with Kobe."

Guarantee the people in London will give him the usual standing O, most cheers once again. The US is the only country where Kobe don't get no love to be honest.

and even then, he continues to have a top 3 selling Jersey in America. Until the end of the 2011 season, Kobe had the top selling jersey 3 years in a row.

Jerry Buss has gone on record saying Kobe's salary should be 75 mill a season because of all the love and money he brings in.

I don't see him ever coaching, think he'll end up being a GM though.

I was thinking mire of that Vice President of Basketball Operations type role. I don't think you want a guy like that around the talent. He'd be too tough on them.
