Damn I really wished Team USA didn’t get gold this year maaaaaaan, team lacked chemistry but was so deep it didn’t matter. I love seeing team basketball prevail over talent but hey, they got it done
Underrated for sure, but he's top 10 scoring all time and was the Olympic USA most points of all time until Durant broke it 2 years ago. Melo will definitely be remembered
This USA Roster has 18 Championship Rings 109 All Star Appearances 8 MVP Trophies 9 Finals MVP Trophies 13 scoring Titles 1 DPOY 3 ROTYs 8 members of the 75 greatest players
@@orlandowilliamson691yeah I just heard Bill Simmons say the 2024 team is the best one after 92 and others debating it but hell no. 08 or 12 definitely with all these guys in their prime. I'd probably go with 08 because Wade was still insane and Kobe was lethal and prime Dwight Howard on D was the perfect anchor and a nightmare athletically. Plus J Kidd still young enough one of the greatest floor generals ever just makes any offense chemistry enhanced. Prime super athletic Lebron too obviously but he was apex Bron in 08 and 12. Game the 24 team just had against Serbia wouldve been a blowout if it was the 08 team.
Chris Paul and D Will were Top points guards in the league at this time. With both of them plus Kobe, Westbrook and Harden, the guard play was going to be unstoppable.
THis was Carmelo Anthony's 37 point game, Steph Curry almost broke it against Serbia on Thursday 08/08/2024 but he unfortunately finished with 36 points.
I am from Greece, and I have nothing but respect for Team Nigeria. They put the smack down on the heavily favored Greek team to knock us out of the Olympic qualifying round.
@@bs49hdr And they lose again. I miss this USA team so much. All of them have top class personal skill and top class teamwork. But now the USA team, having great personal skill with no teamwork.
@@stupidjaii9639 exactly bro, they don't have teamwork. They need to improve their inside defense, otherwise they are in problems. The team must be above all.
It’s crazy to me that Melo couldn’t transition to more of a spot up game when he excelled like hell in the Olympics. Dude was a demon from 3. I guess he just needed another true superstar to create shots for him.
I've heard people say the original dream team would wipe the floor w/ these dudes, i just walk away.. beat them, MAYBE. but to excuse them from a talent stand point is just absurd.
Ima 90s fanatic but you best believe the dream team would be on their heels vs these guys. 2 of the dream team top players (Bird and Magic) were retired already. I think they would struggle with the speed.
@@starrplayaentertainmenttm1053 dream team definitely would lose these dudes get out there and get at u dream team would get tired of running back and forth
@@marquishunt3708 people just say players in the past are better so they sound more credible about basketball, no way were they able to shoot like this, just watch full games from both eras and you'll find the answer

Nigeria vs USA track record
2012, lost by 83 pts.
2016, lost by 44 pts.
2021, won by 3 pts.
You are Insane, Nigeria.
Respect for Nigeria.
2021 team usa is a bum. Bad chemistry and filled with ball hogs wouldn't be surprised if they end up like 2002 team usa
In all fairness the 2012 team is exponentially better than this team
It was not an official game ffs
Damn I really wished Team USA didn’t get gold this year maaaaaaan, team lacked chemistry but was so deep it didn’t matter. I love seeing team basketball prevail over talent but hey, they got it done
That Team tho...
Lebron, Kobe, KD, Westbrook, AD, James Harden, KLove, melo....
Kai Herrmann godly ✊🏾
Cp3, Tyson Chandler, Andre Iguadala, D. Williams.. Scary..
AD hadn’t play a NBA minute by then. D Will and Chandler were at their prime.
this was a great team, but i still gotta take 2008 over 2012 team. both awesome though
@@hondo3688 im gonna say yes, but that 08 team i think gives them a run,
Every once in a while I look this vid up just to see melo with his quick release threes in his prime
Tyrone Savage Olympic Melo has no conscience
asian ball is easier to release i think compared to nba ball
@@sangeyasha5435 FIBA ball is smaller and lighter compared to Spalding ball
Shabaka Smkss It was : Knicks Melo > Nuggets Melo
Antoine Mantoux Nuggets Melo was more athletic.
Carmelo was on FIRE this game, such an underrated and sadly not as well remembered player.
Underrated for sure, but he's top 10 scoring all time and was the Olympic USA most points of all time until Durant broke it 2 years ago. Melo will definitely be remembered
I don’t think anyone has forgotten how great melo was😂😂😂
Everybody know who Melo is bruh, what are u talkin about ? 😂😂
RIP

How was he?
That's good bro.
that's a beautiful memory

Who’s here in 2021 after we just lost to Nigeria
This USA team was so dominating Kobe was just to good
Me.
Did USA win the Gold of that Olympic for Bball?
Real team
Me. I saw the game I was disappointed see USA team lose, no showing his force. Respect for Nigeria.
Who’s here in 2021 finding this very comment
Kobe and Lebron really made that team super impossible to beat.
THis was Carmelo Anthony's 37 point game, Steph Curry almost broke it against Serbia on Thursday 08/08/2024 but he unfortunately finished with 36 points.
I remember watching this game with my older brother. Crazy how the team USA more than doubled Nigeria’s points.
Watching KD's performance vs Serbia brought me back to this, when the top scorers are in fire and get into their rhythm, they are just unstoppable
Kobe. Forever in our hearts 🙏🏻
And a reminder to put in perspective how phenomenal kobe's 81 points is! Smh outscored Nigeria.
What? Lol
You can't compare an NBA game to a FIBA game. Totally different teams. Totally different rules. Only 40 minutes in FIBA.
This team was perfect. A mixed 3 point shooting and drive to the basket. The Aura is unmatched too with Kobe on the line up.
Who’s here after US just lost to Nigeria 💀
👋
Hey
Lost or lose? 😂
@Oig Ettesor 0_o
The players on 2012 USA basketball team was better that's why
we really sent this out in 2012 and other countries thought they stood a chance todays usa team could never
I mean the last one with kd draymond and the other guys still won hold and I think this year with kd curry and lebron will be special
Team USA clearly needs Olympic Melo
These were the Nigerian highlights as well.
😂😂
A comment that i am looking for😂
woah, I didn't know team usa are nigerians as well lol
Yeah when the score was tied 0-0
Ha
119 points in 3 quarters. That is INSANE.
And it was only 10 min quarters. I can’t imagine how much they would score if it was the nba 12 min quarters
This is the real team USA
The fact that Kobe starts off hard like usual makes me happy
Kobe and Lebron in the first 1:30 completely dominate..Kobe 12..Lebron 4 dimes and an easy 2...then KD a casual couple of 3s...beautiful
6:57 two of the NBA's greatest scorers
*Olympic GOATs

This was like an all-star game but only for usa

Kobe....my hero

Who’s here after KD 8-8 first half 🔥
This team was a monster. If you play this team in NBA2k, you just need to choose which one do you want to be Jordan Player of the Game.
This is the greatest dream team in my opinion
You put a smile on everybody face 💛💜

Team USA with the Gold Again 🔥2021
Whos here when Nigeria upsets USA in 2021
Who’s here after the US lost and needs relief
Lol.
You watched it?
Prime Melo was special
*This is what 92' Dream Team did to every team whenever they play, but half the points margin.*
This team would demolish the dream team
Nigeria score 73 points against USA 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥺
I have to say the new era of NBA stars isn't as impressive compare to this team and the previous generation
People really be talking about beautiful jumper's need to put respect on Melo
MELO the all-time leading scorer for team USA
Who here after the U.S. put together another superteam 2024
Haven’t won yet. Slow down.
looking good so far, sad we won't get to see US vs Canada for real cause they lost to France 💀
RIP Kobe.
Let’s go 2024 USA!!!
R.I.P Kobe 😭❤

Weird to me comparing his actual version.
Because of age
Who’s here in 2021 after USA won gold
i was brought here by HEAT VS TEAM USA! haha
Omg. This team got 75 pts at the half. 2021 team need the whole game just to reach 77.
RIP Kobe Bryant
We really added KD in 2012 and the world thought they had a chance 😂
9 years later the story is different
God bless Team USA 2021.
If Carmelo Anthony had died after this game, we would have easily concluded that he "was" the greatest shooter of all time. He was on a shooting streak.
Yet, we all agree that Steph Curry changed the game. But Carmelo started it.
People don’t understand that
Anyone gangsta until carmelo active his aimbot 😂
Rip kobe
Carmelo was a fucking monster in the Olympics. Man was MADE for FIBA ball.
Who's here after Nigeria finally took revenge in the exhibition game?
Melo was pulling dat bih!!!
RIP KOBE BRYANT 27.01.2020🏀💔

Feels like playing 2k on rookie mode
Kobe and Lebron would never let team USA lose to Nigeria. Scrimmage or not
Facts.
Goated squad
I honestly think this team could’ve beat the dream team
I miss u kobe 😢
9 years later: Nigeria beats team USA, may have been born in the UK but my heart is in Nigeria 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀😭😭
In exhibition game?? Look what they got in 2020 olympics?? 😆😆😆
@@meralexabiera3142 😂😂😂 that game showed team USA that the world ain’t theirs no more
Man! Melo's 3 point shot slider is 100!
That step-back at 7:27 geeeez 💀💪
My country's defense was horrendous, but in all fairness this USA team would destroy any team in history including the dream team.
What an onslaught on our Team. OMG!
It just looked so easy for the USA guys.
But why doesn't the video show any highlights of us, though? Not fair.
If you lose by 90 points you don't get highlights
You had no highlights
they should have implemented a mercy rule for this game my god lol
