Kobe going for the gold

LeBron James will have some good company on the 2008 U.S. Olympic basketball team. Kobe Bryant will suit up for Team USA at the '08 Games and this year's world championships.

Hopefully, this will send a message to misguided NBA stars who think they're too cool and their time is too valuable to play for their country. Playing in the Olympics may not have much to offer financially for some NBA hoopsters. But, why sit on the sidelines and let other countries have an easier shot at beating the U.S. and earning bragging rights?
