I say no chance in hell they should let him in a USA Jersey. I was fine with him being upset about being left off the team. Hell, I liked his passion and thought he should have been out there but not after his antics afterwards. He doesn't want to play for the USA because its represents his country he wants to do it because he wants people to think he is the best. He all but proved it by his personal assault on all the US coaches. Sorry Gil but if it was up to me (and it isn't) you would be staying home.
For what it's worth, the Lakers also clinched the Pacific Division, an achievement Bryant dismissed by saying "We don't hang divisions." No, only the big NBA championship banners are considered wall-worthy for the Lakers.
