The 2012 U.S. men’s basketball team won the gold medal

November 14 News Recently, Jazz veteran Kevin Love was a guest on the "NBCSports" podcast.

Talking about his best memory of Kobe, Love recalled: "When we defeated Spain to win the gold medal in the 2012 Olympics, you know, they had great players like the Gasol brothers, Ricky Rubio, and all those great players. At that time, we thought we would go straight back to the locker room to celebrate, but we were pulled for a drug test, so Kobe and I were alone in the testing room for half a minute. For hours, we drank the champagne brought by the staff and talked about life, children, family and career. "

"I grew up watching his game, and I loved his game. In the light of the subsequent tragedy, this time became even more precious. He was a giant in my basketball journey. From No. 8 to No. 24, his way of pursuing greatness always inspired me. "
