Remembering 10 Games Kobe Bryant Made USA Basketball Fans Smile Date: What better way to remember and pay tribute to Kobe Bryant, one of basketball’s biggest legends, than with a look back at No. 10's top 10 games of his USA Basketball international career. Bryant held an allegiance to the USA Men’s National Team from 2007-12 that helped dawn a new dynasty. While it was our story of redemption, we cannot help but thank and remember Bryant, who started all 36 games along the way. Playing in three international competitions, including two Olympics, and also as part of two national team exhibition tours, altogether he played on five USA Basketball teams and compiled a record of 36-0, winning three gold medals.
