No, skip bayless is usually wrong and doesn't use statistics to back his claims.

My claims are based on facts and can be backed easily.

Kobe is a role player. His role is to score but he's not very successful at that. His adjusted fg% is not impressive and his turnovers are startingly high.

The lakers will be significantly better now that he won't be used as much on offense.

Can you guys find videos of these games online? There are some on Chinese websites but it's not allowed to watch them abroad.

""The reason that team lost was because George Karl is a terrible coach and he had no idea how to adapt to international rules.""

where's the statistics?

""Sounds like usa will walk through this tournament. Our roster is stacked anyway, and weve got some serious international perimeter shooting now that Paul has range. Deron, durant, harden, love, Kobe, and melo can all fill it up from international range.""

where's the statistics to back this up when you first made this argument?

ah, well that should be easy to prove...

maybe not

"It really depends on the argument. Are we saying which team was better relative to their ERA? OR which team would win if they played heads up. Obviously athletes evolve over time. In simple sports like track, swimming, etc this is very obvious to measure. An athlete who dominated in 1996 like Michael Johnson would not dominate in 2012. Similarly, no one is arguing that Michael Jordan or Hakeem Olajuwon wouldn't have been good nba players in 2012 but its a fair argument to say Danny schayes would have struggled making a roster. If we go even further back a guy like Bob Cousy maybe doesn't make it to the NBDL or possibly even a major conference in the NCAA. I think we have to give the benefit of the doubt to the 2012 team, but it certainly wouldn't be lopsided and that's a tribute to how truly great that 1992 team really was. I mean clearly John Stockton can play on the same court as Andre Igoudala. So based on eras I'm taking the 1992 team by a slight margin (though the statistical analysis on it is very interesting), but based on reality the 2012 team would probably win."

ah, so here we use statistics, and then we say they're worthless and throw them in the trash
