Watch it with the personal insults. And handball is most certainly not big in the nordic countries. It's a marginal sport. Maybe it's a little bigger in Denmark, I'm not sure though. And apparently Iceland rules in it so your're right in that sense i guess.

Lol what. Just because Finland never won a handball game ever does not mean the rest of the nordics is like that .

Disappointing finish after they got within 3, they just froze up and didn't know what to do and all argentina did was make free throws

Also Kobe shines best when he needs to come through with the clutch, something team usa doesn't really have to do at all compared to the lakers. If you got 5 seconds left and your down a point or two, there is nobody in the world you would give the ball to over kobe.

His clutch shooting ranking is actually quite low. In the 20's overall in the NBA. He just gets the attention in all the highlights because he is Kobe. Carmelo Anthony is actually ranked much higher.

Sorry to ask this here, but what are the rules about the use of a player's off arm when he is dribbling? I see some plays where it seems like the player dribbling is pushing his opponent and nothing is called.

I ask this in total ignorance, basketball isn't played where I live at all.

Still, you trust Kobe to carry the game when it matters most, like in '08.

Well...You're not allowed to push on the guy with your arm, but it's quite common for the arm to be out there nonetheless. It's very helpful for shedding the defender as you turn that corner.

Carmelo did get called for offensive pushing off.

You are not supposed to push with your off arm. But they won't whistle it if you are not too obvious with it. It depends on the referees really.

Back then, sure. However, this is not the same Kobe. He's lost half a step due to injuries (and maybe a little to age), and instead of adapting his play and trying to create better looks through his teammates, he still tries to do everything by himself. And I get the sense that he gets more and more frustrated when that doesn't work, which doesn't help. Perhaps it's just who he is as a baller, and trying to change him is like trying to teach an old dog new tricks.

Also, Deron Williams is the smoothest ballhandler.
