The Dream Individual Team

Kobe

In a press conference Wednesday, USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo announced that Kobe Bryant has been selected as the 2008 men’s Olympic basketball team.

“When they put me in charge of the selection process, I promised the committee that I would not assemble a collection of selfish, self-centered superstars with no team concept,” said Colangelo, referring to the every-man-for-himself Olympic team that finished an embarrassing third place in Athens two years ago. I am confident that, with a team comprised entirely of Kobe Bryant, the infighting, ego-clashing, and divisiveness that plagued the 2004 team will not be a problem.”

I really hope Shaq becomes a Canadian citizen.

    Naw, the Celtics do have a lot of talent. But, most of that gets cancelled out by all of their white guys.

    Sokk… keepin your comment in mind, if talent gets cancelled out by white guys… where does that leave a white-out team like Utah?
