    Not that it wasn't true already, but Team USA games in the Olympics will be nothing more than a coronation tour. Spain's chances were already close to zero; now they ARE zero.

    He just went down 3 minutes ago to a severe ankle roll.

    Where is Kobe's apology. Kobe injuring another player getting Rubio back for dunking on him in the Olympics a couple years back. I remember that time when Kobe took out Yao with the knee to shin contact.

    so sad...

    the only positive out of this is OHMSS is banned, and we don't have to know his take on this.

    Kobe Bryant has no reason to apologize. It's unfortunate what happened to Rubio but Kobe is not wrong for not apologizing. Silly to criticize Kobe for that.

    So if we were playing basketball & I drove into you and took out your ACL in you knee you wouldn't expect an apology. All the other superstars in the league have at least some class to at least wish RR a speedy recovery.

    if u look at the replay closely, seems rubio's knee buckled before he flopped on kobe's drive, sort of have nothing to do with kobe, apologize for what?

    No I wouldn't expect an apology nor would I want an apology. An apology won't bring my season back. Injuries are part of the game and like I said Kobe has no reason to apologize.

    So his acl was torn with no contact sounds highly logical. Wasn't criticizing Kobe, guess you can't buy class. If all the other stars @ the minimum are offering there best wishes. Ever since Kobe got his nose busted he has been on ball hog win at all cost jack up 30 shots mode,worked before the road trip. But then they got embarrassed by the Pistons and Wizards it's win at all cost. They barley beat t wolves. Oh well.

    It truly is sad to see Rubio's development halted by this. He could be the anti-Linsanity right now.

    As for the Olympics, not like Spain would win. Besides, they already have a soccer team on god mode. This is USA's sport to win.


    I would want an apology and a bag of cookies and brownies to add with that.

    All of those guys have twitter something Kobe doesn't have. If Kobe did apologize nobody would know.
