    Can't believe I've actually been given a legitimate reason to root against my country.

    I despise Kobe, but I like that he has a strong take.

    Does anyone else get the feeling Kobe is desperate for the "doing and saying idiotic things" award that is firmly in Dwight Howard's hands (after spending 2 years in LeBrons)?

    He's actually both an analyst and a therapist--an analrapist, if you will.

    I've felt myself somewhat rooting against Team USA in the exhibitions so far, just because everyone I know refuses to believe Team USA can be beaten, or even come close to it. I keep trying to convince people how the game has evolved and spread internationally, but everytime I bring it up around my friends who are casual fans, I get mocked and yelled at with the same "LEBRON, KOBE, DURANT" mantra. Bringing up a name like Juan Carlos Navarro is just setting yourself up for ridicule, even in Memphis, where Navarro used be the Grizzlies starting PG before deciding he'd rather play back home in Spain.

    Been telling them that for a while, haha... but you know what I mean, you bring up the notion that Team USA has vulnerabilities to a group of friends who casually watch basketball, and then all of a sudden, everyone just starts to just repeat the Team USA lineup... "LeBron! Kobe! Durant! Chris Paul!" and so on. It's annoying.

    I don't know if I'd go THAT far. I think they could consider that cruel and unusual punishment.

    Fuck Spain and fuck anybody that doesn't root for the United States. That shit annoys me especially when it comes to international competitions like the World Cup where all these douchebags that are US Citizens root for Brazil or spain or germany or Italy or some shit. Fuck all of them.
