I believe he's referring to how the OP put 3 pics of Kobe, and no one else.

Rumor is Wade's knee might make a miraculous comeback if Team USA makes a last second decision to pay the athletes for participating.

Does that really matter? Who cares about how the OP pimps out a thread? Eagles is a huge Laker and KOBE fan. Plus this will most likely he KOBE's last Olympics, let him get the hype.

I didn't say anything about it, I was telling you what I believe BBando was talking about.

I was just kidding. What if I made a thread with 3 LeBron pics and no one else. Like you wouldn't of said something.

 Good one bro.
And I didn't mean to offend anyone with the multiple pics of the USA team captain. I'm also a Duke fan, so I showed Coach K some love. But if you look closely at the picture above the roster finalists, you'll see Kobe isn't in it at all.

Glad to see Wade bypassing the Olympics.
So does that leave another spot open? I'd love to see Cousins make the team, but seeing as it'll be another perimeter player, I feel like Gordon Hayward should be looked at, he's got the game for int'l play

They could use another big, as their guards on the roster are stacked.

Either Eric Gordon or James Harden will replace Wade.
PG: Paul, Williams, Westbrook
SG: Kobe, Harden
SF: LeBron, Durant, Carmelo
PF: Love, Griffin
C: Chandler, Bosh
Those are my guesses as of now. Iggy, Gordon, and Davis are the only other 3 that have a shot IMO.

Bynum needs to be added. They need a center that can do everything. Not just defense. Though part of me doesn't want Bynum on the team just bc of his injury concerns.
