Good effort from Spain though, it was much closer than I expected

Kobe has thrown away so many games in the 4th quarter due to his obsession to be better than MJ. A lot of the people who you say get timid at end of games and it forces kobe to shoot a lot missing the point that Kobe can go into psycho mode when people do stuff he doesn't like.

I also would never want Melo, he is Carter's long lost brother.

Nash might be the first person who may create a quality dynamic on the floor. old yes, but they don't need him to score points and they dont even need him to play the best of defense.

Shaq won 3 championships /kobe in which fisher / horry made multiple miracle shots / plays, kobe did not close any of those games, he just took a lot of bad shots most of which missed.

agree with these comments about kobe/durant.

as far as carmello goes i definitely understand the hate and also wouldn't want him on my team. however in terms of creating his own offense he is unquestionably elite, i think in that regard he's prob #1 or 2 with durant.

Don't forget his size either. His defense is all but ignored and underrated. I'll never forget the way he played against Kobe in the Nuggets/Lakers series.
