Kobe takes the global stage
stand up and talk about me
and write about me
black and beautiful
and sing about me
and put on plays about me!
I reckon it'll be
me myself
Yes it'll be me!
Langston Hughes
Kobe Bryant is the BEST basketball athlete in the world. Yes this is my biased opinion, however the opening ceremonies of these Olympic Games showed the admiration that China, the largest country on the planet has for him as well.
It just goes to show you how a child from West Philadelphia, with determination, and dedication, can grow up to become the one person that every other basketball player is measured against.
Agree or disagree, once play begins on Sunday morning...you can rest assured that Bryant and the men's senior national team are going to do their duty to not only reach the finale, but also win it all, bringing gold back to the United States for basketball, since the Sydney Games in 2000.
Kobe is new to Olympic competition, however he is no stranger to winning.
Let the games begin!
