'Our Country Is the Best' - WSJ.com

'Our Country Is the Best'
"The Los Angeles Laker went on to call the U.S. 'the greatest country in the world. It has given us so many great opportunities, and it's just a sense of pride that you have; that you say, 'You know what? Our country is the best.''
Mr. Collinsworth seemed either startled or impressed by such sentiment, and asked, 'Is that a cool thing to say in this day and age? That you love your country, and that you're fighting for the red, white and blue? It seems sort of like a day gone by.'
To which Mr. Bryant replied: 'No, it's a cool thing for me to say. I feel great about it, and I'm not ashamed to say it. I mean, this is a tremendous honor.'"
