He was doing so much for woman’s basketball, way more then any other nba player had done and for u to say that is dumb and just shows that your a hater. Also just because someone is rich and is married doesn’t mean the other person they are married to is a gold digger. You sir really need a reality check.

Kobe doesn't get enough credit for changing Team USA culture. We were going downwards in 06 even with Bron/Wade/Melon on the team. It was Kobe that changed it and restored dominance

[@md1021]

That type of leadership is missing this year. And led to two losses in a row.

[@lucusboii]

@@md1021 I feel as if they need someone like Jimmy Butler for that toughness atmosphere like how he brought the Heat in the finals, they already have scorers and just picked up javale for rebounding and rim protection. They just need someone who is vocal, you would think Draymond would be the answer but it's just not enough, but we'll see.

[@TheWutangclan1995]

I’d say Kobe helped changed basketball as a culture. A lot of people who’ve watch Kobe played over the years, or was their first time watching him, made them want to pick up the ball.
