The Official Team USA Basketball Thread: Going For The Gold

I think Melo was pissed because Melo will actually back his defender down and get into the paint, kobe is goona shoot a fade away over two defenders.

I'm actually glad the other chucker..... Melo is playing his role and only shooting when open

And Melo aint better than kobe stop that right now..........stop bringing unecessary hate to my nikka Melo

He playing his position let him live.

I will say this Kobe is muthafukkin chucker....but so is Melo

LeBron is gonna dump D Wade for Durant.

 

[LeVraiPapi]

DUDE WAS LIKE "DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO ?"

 

[young3000]

Durants dancing swag

why Tyson smack KD butt though

 

[CantStop]

Melo and Durant are EASILY the two best scorers in the league and it's not close, just because Kobe shoots the most doesn't make him a better scorer.

Kobe and Melo are both average defenders at this point.

SMH at you being relegated to resort to some bullshyt intangible statistic like "leadership"... If being a leader means forcing up shots for personal stats when you have two skilled 7 footers on your team, then

Same Melo who shot 43% like Kobe which was Kobe's 2nd worst shooting season.

Try again. You're about to strike out.

we need the other one after the russ dunk

The problem is he's playing like he's on the Lakers, clearing out and waving off dudes is cool when the next man can't score like you or you have a mismatch. But you better make the shot if you're gonna do that when there's 3 other dudes on the floor that can get you 25+. There were a couple of plays where dudes just didn't pass him the ball anymore, or threw their hands up when he missed a shot.

the truth

dude acting like hes playing los angeles, running to the pg and asking for the ball

wtf

i loved how they freezed him out in the 3rd
fukkin selfish fakkit..

 

[Premeditated]

again, retard... which specific aspect of basketball is Kobe Bryant, as of August 8, 2012, superior in as compared to Melo?

scoring
assist
playmaking
defense
leadership
winning

breh, just shut the fukk up.

I swear to god these reactionary threads are terrible... I'll prove why too



So Kobe shot 3/10 and had 11 points (4/4 from the line) with 2 turnovers (played 20 minutes)

Melo shot 1/6 and had 5 points (2/2 from the line) with 2 turnovers (played 12 minutes)

both had 1 assist & 2 personal fouls

yet Kobe was "sabotaging" them? But people here talkin bout how Melo does everything so much better?



=Reactionary thread.

[holidayinn21]

The problem is he's playing like he's on the Lakers

[mvp_status]

If Melo was shooting turn around jumpers he would get destroyed



=Reactionary thread.

One guy said it, calm down breh and Melo only shot when he was open, kobe was shooting fadeaways
