He was the leading scorer for Team USA today in the win vs. Croatia with 16 points (6-8 fg, 4-6 3pt).

BQ: Is Eric Gordon the most important player off the bench for Team USA?
Derrick Rose
Chauncey Billups
Andre Iguodala
Kevin Durant
Lamar Odom
Dont pay attention to the ESPN box score. It is wrong on a couple of stats. Billups started and Gordon had 16 points 4-6 3pt.

I am so freakin tired of these type of people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I personally do, I think Kobe realizes that this is his one last chance to win the Championship, and he’s gonna do it with a bang. Leading the NBA in scoring then winning the championship would be something worth retiring on.
