without Kobe's help,how would Dream team 8 be?

Well I think kobe was the missing link for USA basketball. It got close towards the end in the final game. Kobe took over and Team USA now has gold.

It would have been a lot tougher for them to win but they could have. But it is hard to say what if Kobe wasn't there because Spain had their best players as well. If you would have taken any of those big guys off of their team they wouldn't have come close. Kobe is great but the US has a lot more depth and players to choose from then Spain does.

Well they won the gold which most people thought they would. And it was a pretty close game with spain coming in with 4 points in the fourth quarter. So I think they met everyones expectation if they lost this game I think most people would of called there run this year a faliure including them since they wanted the gold so bad.

I think they still would have won. They would have had the rest of the tournament for everyone else to learn to play without him on the team, and the Redeem Team was just too loaded with talent and athleticism to be stopped as long as they didn't look past opponents, which they were not going to do this year.

Ya,of course,kobe is perfect and he played a most important role of the champion.But no one cant deny others,James,Kids,Paul etc they all played well.BASDETBALL is a match which need 5 players team.and everyone of the five is important,they believe each other and then they will win~~Dream8 is great however~

they'er a team.but i think kobe is the most important one.he respected all of his rivals.he did all for his team.he is a great one.he has the best defense.

Yes of course they would carry on. I don't believe that Kobe is that important to note. We all know he's good, but everyone else is as good. They could win it or lose it with or without Kobe, as it was a really good and tough match against the Spain.
