Don’t look for any parades or celebratory homecoming party for Kobe Bryant and his gold medal a la Dwyane Wade. The Lakers superstar turned down a chance to show off his hardware and discuss his Olympic experience.
The Miami Heat will honor Bryant’s Team USA teammate, Wade, with a public ceremony Thursday at AmericanAirlines Arena and raise an Olympic banner alongside team’s division and championship banners.
Bryant, no doubt, has bigger issues to contend with — like surgery on his pinkie.
