		<description>Way to go kobe. Im supporting team USA for the upcoming basketball olympics since they are my 2nd fave team, next to the Philippines. Too bad, we did not make it to the qualifying rounds for asia. Next olympics, i hope we'll have a shot.

Go Philippines!

Go USA!</description>

		<description>I agree with the unwarranted Shaq reference.  Why do writers continue to throw monkey wrenches at Kobe?  Who gives a $hit about Shaq or what he thinks.  He has screwed up his image while trying to drag down Kobe.  Go team USA!!!</description>

		<description>I knew it too the moment Kobe Bryant set foot in LA that he was going to be one of the best players to ever play the game. No one can deny his passion and hard work night in night out to play the game.

But anyone annoyed that Ludden just had to add that last bit:

"Though Shaq recently mocked him during an improvised rap performance here, Bryant has continued to deflect all questions on the subject – even if he’s privately dying to launch his own freestyle rebuttal, as one person close to him insists."

I mean, why bother putting "one person close to him," if you're not going to name the source? It just sounds so bogus and made up, no better than a gossip column. Who is it? His brother that doesn't exist? His grandma? His 2 year old daughter? His dog, Fendi? I mean seriously. NAME THE FREAKING SOURCE.</description>

		<description>Kobe is the man, no doubt!  It's amazing how those superstars (even James) respect our man and follow his lead.  It's such a shame that shaq is pulling his own stunt to get some attention. Kobe continues to show some class..keep it up, Kobe!</description>

		<description>Wasn't this obvious? Kobe is the best player on the best team in the world and as we all witnessed last season he has stepped up his leadership among the Lakers and that has lead him to command the leadership of the players on Team USA. LeBron is still too young to command that kind of respect among a team of stars, he's extremely talented; don't get me wrong, but he's just not mature enough. Lets Go Team USA!!!</description>

		<description>Kobe has always been my favorite player since the first time I saw him playing against Shareef Abdur Rajim in a cast.  I told my wife that he was going to be the man someday. I'm so glad I was right!  I am pulling for him and the team big time.  Go USA!!!!  I am also hoping Lakers managements surprises us with some good acquisitions this off season.    Time to conquer the world Kobe.  Go Lakers!!!</description>
