Chris Bosh has emerged as a leader for Team USA in Beijing during this month's Olympics, according to The Toronto Star.

"Chris Bosh was terrific," said Kobe Bryant after the team's 92-69 defeat of Greece on Thursday. "He always seems to find himself in the right place at the right time, and when we penetrate he's able to find a little crack or seam and be able to finish."

Bosh admitted that he has been able to lead by adjusting his game to exactly what Team USA needs from him.

"I can play defense, and I can play a different role," Bosh said. "I think that's hard for guys to accept sometimes, but I just want to win."
