NBA Macedonia —
Не знам дали вие приметивте, ама на секоја средба на Америте во Бејџинг две фаци најчесто беа во фокус - Коби и Леброн, додека и Вејд не беше заборавен. На страна тоа што графички преносите во баскет (па и фудбал) беа ужасно реализирани.
Фокусот на Коби и Леброн во никој случај не е случаен, како и големата желба на Америте баш во Кина да си го вратат златото, пред следниот најголем НБА пазар кој лигата и нејзините два најдобри играчи и тоа како почнаа да го експлоатираат. Ви текнува на кунг-фу постерите на Леброн уште од втората негова сезона, кои бргу беа таму забранети, а потоа и разните турнеи на Ѕверот низ Кина.

Kobe Bryant — BMac's Blog: The Rants of a Basketball Maven
All summer, as I traveled, coaches asked me who I thought would win the gold medal in the Olympics. I said, without hesitation, "USA." When they asked why I thought this team would be different than 2002, 2004 and 2006, I did not mention the three-year plan or Jerry Colangelo or Coach K, like the media. I simply said, "Kobe."
As long as Kobe Bryant played, USA was going to win. There was no way

Perhaps it's because I'm so NBA-centric and the Olympic team from Argentina has so many quality NBA pros on its roster (Gibobili, Scola, Nocioni, Oberto), but I always thought today's semifinal would be USA's toughest game of the tournament.

his N.B.A. team instead of adapting and adjusting to his Olympic teammates.
James has stood out precisely because he has blended in so well. Waldini:
