Spain was very good, had multiple nba stars on the teams, but this game was very poorly officiated in favor of Spain, bunch of calls and no calls, favoring spain, this game shouldn't have been close, US beat them earlier in the tournament by almost 40, poor officials kept spain close in this one

Kripa Mcper bruh where’s kd

@@dustinmelvin50 Dont lie, and dont make us laught. Usa play WALKING all time. I can smash walking too. Steps, steps ...

Asian zach_brawl stars I don’t think he played in this Olympics because there were a lot of better players than him at the time, and also he was a rookie

also the fact the nba players were mostly in their physical prime!!! makes spains effort and still making it a close game even more respectable

And most importantly, no commercial breaks.

@t w no one cares

As much as I love Kobe, I have to say it was D Wade who give you the win

@@javierdemenapacheco6849 both d.wade and kobe was xfactor in this game but the alpha always give a win when it needed kobe literally took the 4th quarter with clutch shots

@@ediwow2797 nah, for kobe that was just a normal game, a good one tho. But in the other hand ive never seen wade hiting 3s like that🙄. He def had his day when it matter the most

Of course 🖤🖤 🐍

what an over statement... many missed shots by Kobe... and some lucky made... but still much better than goat James

Epic game...

The 2016 USA team had a lot of close calls

What about Greece vs USA in 2006 FIBA World Cup??

I know...if only the refs had called it both ways in the first half. Lost count of how many times a US player absolutely body-checked a Spanish player and the foul was called on the Spanish guy. That's standard for the NBA but not for FIBA.

@@josemapurunga4429 他

I am more than sure that a couple or three players of the USA team are allowed to get out of jail only for the games.... Wade the fisrt one.

Wade’s FG percentage was a mind boggling 67% in these Olympics. He was unreal.

@@FernandoRodriguez-wj8fewhat are you on about

Wade, Melo y Kobe estratosféricos!

@@FernandoRodriguez-wj8fePura basura tu comentario! No me representa como español.

1972 was probably way better

KOBE is the most loved American Player in China. I have Chinese friends who love him the most.

he was also 33 on the Lower Merion boy's basketball team.

D-wade the beast.

CodeBreaker I agree

Yeah bald D Wade was a top 5

Nevertheless, Kobe saved the day here

THE STRONGEST WAS JUGOSLAVIA ...DRAZEN,, KUKOCS,NTIVATS,VRANKOVITS ,PASPALIE,SAVITS,ZDOVTS,RATZA. THEY WOULD BEAT THEM...ALMOST EASILY

@@alfonsoaranda3808 we all know you are a spaniard trying to troll Imao

Kobe never dominate in olympics tournament...wade was the better player in that team but the nike make pressure to put kobe over wade

@@conflicto7575 lol wade shots before the 4thquarter were useless when kobe didnt make 3 or 4 big shots both threees and two pointers.. the spain team could tie the score if bryant didnt make that shots.. hav u seen it only got 4 lead until bryant made the big shot three followed by wade but then bryant again both beast in offense and defense afterwards..he understand the game so much.. the 4 th quarter is the most important qaurter in basketball..kobe was a hero in this game, saving the team from possible comeback of spaiin

@johnlloydprime4357 you don't know what you are saying and you also did not watch the whole game. USA would never win if it wasn't for d wade. He carried the game off the bench. He scored the most points for a reason and barely missed a shot. If you actually watch the game the starting line up was looking lost against Spain in the first half....whenever d wade would check in he got them back into the game. Watch before you type...im sure you only watched the 4th quarter when kobe hit the 3 and now you just say he was the best player

​@@conflicto7575wrong, d wade was first half ,the mamba closed the show.

@@conflicto7575dawg Kobe is 36-0 while playing for team USA..they never lost when Kobe played…literal dominance

@@conflicto7575 Dude I like wade the 3rd best sg of all time but let's be clear they weren't winning golds til kobe came along kobe was the best player in the world at this moment as well I'm not talking about no stats either every young needed this vibe being around kobe so they could soak up so much game from him as well it was needed

😍😍😍😍

That's a legend

Yes they were amazing

Carlos Castro... This my name. What?

MHE me I agree, a 7 Game Final would be interesting.

no mate...……….deep down like u said U KNOW that not spain not ANY OTHER COUNTRY can ever beat THE DREAM TEAM USA when THE BEST USA PLAYERS ARE PART OF THAT TEAM LIKE THEY WERE IN...…..1992,1994,1996,2000,2008,2010,2012,2014,2016...……...those were the years in world cups and Olympics when MOST OF THE BEST PRIME AMERICAN NBA PLAYERS WERE IN THE USA TEAM.

Was a hard fought game..I remembered watching this and became a fan of Rudy Fernandez..guy was a BEAST

@@flaviushonoriusemperorofro3903 shut up man spain was really close to winning this game

@@diegohernandoizquierdo3081 the difference between...."close" and "win" is huge.....spain had never a chance to win that match. that it kept the score close that don't mean nothing. spain NEVER got an advantage to win the match. when at the end spain tried to close the gap at the crucial points the usa team showed WHICH TEAM IS THE BOSS.

Mk l

PBA also haha

This is a game of the best of the best! Better than USA NBA championship!

An obvious fact

Because there’s no home crowd

Facts

The same here I remember watching this when I was young and I always wanted to watch it again but I could never find the full game online

@@Dasmin12 yup August 2008

Clearly u haven’t seen many games

@@kareemwilson5843 I have seen thousands of games, and this one is clearly in my top 5. Great performance by both teams!

Did you just get internet? Lol

Too many me guys on the team no team ball

@@puptectiveiii4119 for real. The team lacks serious in depth. They have too many star players in their team if you know what I mean, too many players team rely on, solely rely on if being specific. There need to be some role players there to build chemistry.

@@puptectiveiii4119 this USA team the best since 1992. Or maybe there needs to be a switch in coaches..

it's like C team tho No Curry No LeBron No CP3 No Harden No AD only 2 Superstars in team USA the rest are B+ I won't be surprised if they not win gold this time

The big problem is Colangelo He needed, like this team or 2012 or even that weak but still undefeated 2016 team, an actual Center The starting lineup should be: C - Myles Turner PF - Bam Adebayo SF - Kevin Durant SG - Bradley Beal PG - Jrue Holiday Dame, Tatum, Draymond should be first off the bench as, in order, offensive energy, post defense/scoring to slow the tempo, defensive energy and fast paced movement when on a run Julius Randle, Devin Booker/Trae Young (similar usage to how he was in the All Star game, but also would solely be a passer unless needed to make the big shot to spark a run) and Nerlens Noel should be in for situational purposes Jerami Grant...I guess just to be there The team they have now is filled with iso players, players that aren't gonna win a ring because they're style over substance (Dame, Tatum, Lavine, Beal)...I thought 2016 was like this but they had Deandre Jordan and Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler to balance things out (having Lowry, PG and Derozan instead of playmaking depth was such a terrible idea at the time for me, but it worked out somehow, maybe it was Coach K)

Not at all. This is not FIBA because only one plays with FIBA rules. You must see euroleague or the game between Spain and Argentina or Serbia or Lituania or France or you can mix two of this list and you will get a good FIBA game

mikemoelculo nobody want to see these games they are the reason why nobody watch the euro league or FIBA the only thing they do is play Zone defense and stay in the paint thats horrible to watch

Facts 😂

It's better like this than with the 2012 comentator

Amazing right? Pure basketball 🏀

You stoned?

Flipando en verdad

he was a wonder kid back then, like luka now.. but he lacks of shooting

@@harrysastrawan yup very poor shooting but he iq is special

In fact, there he was 17

He was 17 y/o back then, being the youngest player who ever play in basketball olympic final.

The best Spanish dunk I've ever seen.

it's a smart move by rudy to extend his left arm and protect the ball from getting blocked and which is by the way is not illegal move... a smart basketball move if you know what i mean

If it's not USA they keep it like it didn't happened. It's like if they are the only one who can make spectacular plays

Rudy always had this performance in Blazers 10 years ago

Dude i just watched it and commented! Insane dunk!!! you kiddin me??

silent pls

How did Kobe do this at @ 1:34:44 ??? Literally guarded both players in the pick and roll and recovered to block a sure Alley Oop 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥

Team USA lost to Argentina without Kobe. They really needed Kobe.

Don’t copy a top comment. Get a life.

And what of India? Should have the best team in the world? China?

Incomparable et inégalable la Dreams team 92 de Jordan et Magic Elle m'a marquée à vie .....

@@Mad_Intalect is the MVP of the world championship and you say he is overrated

@@Mad_Intalect Easy to say now

If anything I think his lack of ability to meet those standards just shows how good the NBA actually is. Someone who flourishes overseas and wins MVP awards is a tethering Allstar at best, more than likely a role player.

I am not sure about that Just look.ast three results...

@@Cezram0n3 I see a country with 46 million inhabitants in which basketball is not the main sport and its achievements in recent years: 2 times world champion, 3 times European champion and 2 times Olympic silver medal in recent years (among others achievements). A team that is physically inferior to many, but that knows how to use its talent like no other.

I mean, we've won Eurobasket few days ago. With seven guys playing his first tournament with Spain. With a lot of absences, 99% of them due to injuries, Sergio Llull, Ricky Rubio, Sergio Rodríguez, Nikola Mirotic, Carlos Alocén, Alberto Abalde, Serge Ibaka, Alex Abrines, Santi Aldama...and remember, this was the best Eurobasket ever played. With four NBA MVP trophies, and a few Euroleague MVP trophies on court. Giannis, Jokic, Doncic, Schroeder, Markkanen, Larkin, Micic... Spain is the powerhouse in FIBA basketball in this century, by far. NBA is other world, but here you are watching probably the greatest NBA/USA team in the history, sweating blood to beat Spain without his best pg, Jose Calderón.

@X kobe was the best player in the world at that time not just a star.
