]]> Which basketball players were the best in the world at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games? While many players performed very good, here are the best of the best:

Kobe Bryant, USA
When Team USA got in trouble, Kobe Bryant took over and got the Gold Medal for the United States. Kobe was lights out down the stretch of the game. His four-point play was the turning point of the game.

Pau Gasol, Spain
While Spain wasn’t able to shock the world and beat the United States, Gasol did all he could. The Los Angeles Lakers forward led the entire Olympic Games in points and played extremely well in all the games except for the first game against the US.

Luis Scola, Argentina
Although Manu Ginobili led Argentina in scoring, Ginobili wasn’t able to play in the Bronze Medal game. Scola, without Ginobili, stepped up and was the best player for Argentina as they took home the bronze. The Houston Rockets had to love what the saw out of their power forward.

LeBron James, USA
Even though Kobe Bryant took the USA home at the end, LeBron James along with Dwyane Wade were the best players on the team over the course of the entire tournament. LeBron was very good on both ends of the court and became the team’s emotional leader.

Hamed Ehadadi, Iran
Although other players such as Dirk Nowitzki of Germany and Ricky Rubio of Spain were equally as impressive, no one was a better story than this little known center out of Iran. Hamed Ehadadi entered the Olympics as a player not many scouts were aware of — even international scouts. Now Ehadadi appears set to join the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA.

]]> Kobe Bryant recently had an interesting interview where openly talked about what made him the player he is today. Look at the end of this entry to watch a video of the Kobe Bryant interview.

With the exodus of NBA players to Europe, including Josh Childress and Earl Boykins, Kobe growing up in Italy is a fact that may one day lead to him finishing his career overseas. Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers don’t like hearing that but when Kobe’s career is winding down, there will likely be a European team willing to pay more.

Speaking of Kobe, he currently is trying to help Team USA reclaim the gold medal. Team USA finished its exhibition season and will begin official Olympic play on August 10th against China.

Here is the Kobe Bryant Interview Video:
