Re: Dirk's a kobe fan boy Well I respectfully disagree with Dirk on this. Dirk is putting talent level ahead of team but USA was super talented and couldn't work as a team. Kobe is not going to fix that. Maybe Kobe will add a little defense though compared to Wade. Artest would've been my player to put on USA to put them over top.
Re: Dirk's a kobe fan boy I would have taken Shane Battier out and put Ron Artest in the team. However, Ron didn't try out and though I wish he did, he didn't, so it's his own fault. End of story. Meow.

Kobe brings leadership and automatic respect. I'm not sure if kobe would put them over the top but he'd easily be more valuable then artest.
