How Kobe Bryant Helped Restore Team USA's Reputation

I made a video during my One on One series (Episode 2) which showed Kobe Bryant's attention to detail and defense on the international stage. This mindset and selfless attitude helped Team USA reclaim gold and their honor in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This video is about the team practices, and setting the tone long before the team was even qualified to play in 2008. Kobe Bryant helped bring glory back to the USA, one of his often understated or forgotten accomplishments as a professional basketball player, something that some of his teammates failed to do in 2004. Is Kobe's impact on Team USA of greater significance than his accomplishments in the NBA? What do you think?
