Kobe Being Kobe

The first half was finally over everybody was tired but excited at the same time to be facing off against the most incredible team in the world, team USA. It was quite the honor, the Nigerian team, the group that I saw grow into strong contenders today were quite excited to be facing off against people that they looked up to as their heroes.

I told them to get the complete admiration of these guys being their heroes out of their heads for the next half. We will need to go in as enemies. They are the worst enemies in their lives, and that they needed to beat them down to the ground, it didn't matter who they were, whether they had to play dirty, throw an elbow or two; they needed to get serious and get things done.
