Spain was playing with a full NBA lineup, so i don’t believe the talent gap was as large as people think. Argentina, Puerto Rico and Greece made them boys looks silly in the previous years.

This is something that I really never realized before watching this show. The above teams were loaded with NBA talent. Also, never knew there were subtle rule changes in Olympics that effected the play of NBA players.

I think my favorite part was when the team went out partying one night, everyone but Kobe. They get back to the hotel at like 4 am, and as they're coming in wasted, Kobe is in the lobby with his bag, heading to the gym to practice alone. They all realized how dedicated he was, and suddenly, they were all waking up early and practicing with him. Except the one dude, who said he started waking up early enough to catch breakfast, but frick practicing that early.
