    Professor of Economics proves Kobe is over rated and 92 Dream Team would kill 2012

    Don't think SBR likes when you copy paste an entire article so here's the link
    Kobe’s Hoop Dreaming When He Says His Team Could Beat Jordan’s

    some of my favorite quotes from the article


    When it comes to producing victories, Kobe Bryant simply isn’t very good, primarily because he takes a ton of shots with off-the-charts inefficiency. (Bryant led the NBA in shots attempted last year, while his .430 shooting percentage was good for 241st.)


    With that in mind, Kobe being an undisputed leader of Team USA is a clear danger sign looking forward. If he decides to channel his inner Iverson and leads the team in shots attempted, it will unequivocally hinder the U.S.’s chances of defending its title.





    You guys on kobe's jock are either too young or too dumb to realize compared to Jordan Kobe sucks

    Don't get me wrong, Dream Team prob best team ever assembled but the talent they faced in the league and world is nothing like the talent today.

    I thought he was a horrible professor. He was too sarcastic about everything, and made people feel stupid for asking questions. Daily quizzes were not on things he covered in class....I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

    Funny yet infuriating. Were it not for his blanket denials of differing opinions this could have been a great class. Day 1 was all about discrediting other economists. :-(

    Actually, he didn't prove anything. He offered his own opinion based on flawed methodology.

    Good stuff! I stI'll think you could assemble a team of all stars that didnt get on the dream team in 92 and they would give this years team a run for their money

    Bryant's better than anyone on the dream team except Jordan...

    To the OP: Where were you in 2008 when USA was on it's way to losing the gold medal game to Spain and Kobe and Wade took over the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter when Lebron went into his shell and the rest of the team was scared?

    Kobe's 4 point play in crunch time to seal the deal.

    You and this professor of economics are fools.

    Bryant led the team in 08. The result? Gold.

    Bryant's tenacity made everyone a better player the following year. Carmello, Cp3, James, Rose, Dwight, all went on to have some of the best seasons of their careers and they all have thanked Kobe in interviews for that.
