Kobe's "will to win" allowed him to clock a negative time when running the 40. These jokes come from Rock4life's inspirational posts.

Yeah to get to the main point of what me and Chutney have taken up 2 pages trying to say is that "his will to win" is irrelevant to the conversation....I don't deny that Kobe has a will, but he isn't the only player in the league that wants to win at all cost.

I hate intangibles that are taken too far.
really? they didnt have nba players at ALL? u sure? Last edited by kingjames23_84 : Today at 06:47 AM. yup. no nba players on greece's team. closest they got was an lsu player named baby shaq (Sofoklis Schortsanitis) who was a property of the clippers and backup for elton brand.. all team usa needs is players that know each other very well. like i said good chemistry.
i was just trying to make my point. whether we have 12 of the best nba players on the team.. it wont matter against a team thats played with each other for so long like greece or argentina. we need players who can make big plays and also a pure shooter. they dont have to be in the nba.
It's fanboys like this that say Kobe would have stomped out the competition make me dislike liking Kobe. Kobe might have helped, might have led up to gold, but to say the it's a definite is plain stupid. I'm still confused as to how we couldn't figure out how to defend against a simple pick and roll. Imo Coach K shouldn't have been there. Should have replaced him with someone else.
nah.. I think Coach K was not the problem.. He did all he can to boost up the confidence of the team and even brought them to realize what this is all about by bringing them to the us army and etc. When i looked back the greece vs us game.. what i thing went wrong was that we took them for granted. there was plenty of chance to win the game but they slipped back i believe in the 3rd quarter.. and wasnt playing "smart basketball" too many turnovers..

Also, I think the whole Kobe "will to win" thing is overblown. Firstly, theres probably about 2 fanboys so it's not like they deserve 2 pages of crap devoted to them. Saying all that crap is not going to accomplish anything apart from making the fanboys come out more and give their opinions. If you would have ignored it, like I did then maybe there wouldn't be so many ridiculous posts.
Kobe's will to win is only matched by Jordan. End of the discussion <div class="quote_poster">Quoting THE DREAM:</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah to get to the main point of what me and Chutney have taken up 2 pages trying to say is that "his will to win" is irrelevant to the conversation....I don't deny that Kobe has a will, but he isn't the only player in the league that wants to win at all cost.</div> How can you say his "will to win" wouldn't have put them over the edge? They blew assignments, missed free throws, and jacked up 3pointers at will. Like I said, that's what you do when ur scared and about to lose. Kobe ain't the only one that has will, but he's the best at translating it on the basketball court
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting THE DREAM:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't deny that Kobe has a will, but he isn't the only player in the league that wants to win at all cost.</div> What do you mean? Didn't you know that Kobe has a chip in his brain called the "Anti-Choking" chip that was developed by NASA and the Japanese electronics giants Sony and Fuji? No other player has this chip, as such they are susceptible to human failure.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rock4life:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe's will to win is only matched by Jordan. End of the discussion</div> Kobe's "will to win" is the only thing that can truly end a discussion. But seriously, it's not that his "will to win" doesn't put him over the edge. It's that "will to win" is one of the most pointless and stupid terms I've ever heard. It doesn't mean anything, you can't measure it, and you can't perfect it, like Kobe supposedly has.

Just ignore pretentious intangibles already, let it go. Most people understand that such things are BS.

For example, T-Mac(I know this will probably start up another debate) he has the same abilities as Kobe but sometimes doesn't put in the effort, that can only lead to a conclusion that he doesn't have much desire. Kobe always has that desire and looks to play all 82 games tough. He does have "the will to win," but so do alot of other players. He would be wasted talent if he didn't have the "will to win," but he's not because he has the desire. I think two people in this 8 page thread made a huge deal about Kobe's will to win and others made it worse by dedicating two pages for them and overblowing the opinions of two people as if all Kobe fans felt the way the other two fanboys did.
It's an intangible. And to say an intangible skill can be "perfected" and then to use it as the deciding factor as to why Kobe is better than Lebron and Wade is ridiculous. It's just a very weak argument. Me and DREAM started off picking apart one post and the jokes consumed most of a very slow Saturday. I don't understand how you felt that extended to all Kobe fans, though. Got a bit too sensitive, maybe?

Surely the best thing to do was to ignore it like 40 other people on this forum did.
