This is why they brought Kobe Bryant to Beijing.Against a team that wasn't intimidated by the NBA mystique, a team with a speedster faster than Chris Paul, with big men as polished and skilled as the American centers were big and powerful, Team USA needed someone to set them apart.
Kobe made sure he did it for them. After being content with being the 3rd, 4th even 5th option on offense, Black Mamba exploded for 25pts and 6 three pointers.
More importantly, he did it every time the Aussies managed to put together a decent run to bring the American lead down. Team USA owes Kobe one, no doubt about that.
