LAS VEGAS — Kobe Bryant is showing that he really enjoys playing defense.The most prolific scorer in the NBA the last two seasons, Bryant has thrived at the defensive end in the Olympic qualifying Tournament of the Americas, leading the USA to a 4-0 record through the preliminary round.
They began the four game second round Monday night with a 127-100 victory over Mexico.
"For him, it's about playing defense, and he enjoys that challenge," said Bryant's starting backcourt mate Jason Kidd. "He understands he doesn't need to score 60 points to help us win, so he can use a little more energy on the defensive end than he's done in the past."
