final gonna be fire. Embiid v France too poetic.
The crowd is gonna be crazy!!!!
France winning and the camera panning to Embiid will feed generations
@@dc81503 you were saying???
Team USA did the obvouis. Nikola Jokic almost did the Unthinkable
Oh wow shocking, a person with a Denver Broncos avi bigging up Jokic in a ‘loss’ & not giving Team USA credit for the win
He was like the 3rd best player on his team this game 😂 take the meat out your mouth
@@pleasedonttemptme5963 What do u mean? USA are the favorites by a bit margin, they call the NBA winner the best team in the world, you have the best competition In NBA in the world, the best player, for months we talking about this being the big dream team with lebron leading the best player and not random plauers like last time when they lost again Germany.
Are you gonna be suprise to win vs Serbia? XD dude said nothing wrong, they did the obvious/expectable. Is like expecting Bolt to lose in the past
Look into spell check little guy
@@casscastellano1902Right lol. How does the ‘3x MVP’ get outplayed by a guy who’s never even been an All Star
(Bogdanovic, scored more and shot better than Jokic did)
Steph had shooting troubles the last few games. No way it was gonna last much longer. If they win gold that photo of bron curry and kd will carry generations💀
Steph just wasn’t playing his best last few games… the were winnig all by 20, ge didn’t need to
I dont think it would be legendary like the dream team but yeah...the dream team is like when the whoel usa squade from now would play in their prime...just imagine that team competing in the current olympics😅
That game got my blood pressure pumping what a comeback.
fr
Jokic absolutely choked 😂
@@sam.murfeeit was him against 13 all stars 🤔🤔
As a European, I'm sad for Serbia. But I can accept this loss cause Curry looks like he is both an amazing person and player!
the referees cooked this game so you should be sad for the state of basketball in this olympic.
@@jordanthedoge535hahaha you just want the team USA to loose because you are a Jorbum lolssss your nMe is too obvious, USA had like 1 free throw disparity with Serbia,. Not the refs fault if Serbia didn’t made a single three pointer during 4th quarter like they were splashing on the first 3 qtrs. Go cry
Serbia has a population less than 7 million. USA has 300+ million. It shouldn't even be close. Can you imagine if Serbia, France, Germany, Spain etc could all play together.
LeBron James and Stephen Curry have been rivals for the last decade.
This moment is special let's cherish it, we might never see this again.
Good to see steph and bron playing so well together
Lmao yeah good for the future huh? Maybe in 10 years they can be teammates again
Curry to LA in a couple months, keep speaking it into existence 👀🙂↕️
For the first 3 quarters it looked like a whole pick up game but once the fourth hit it became a classic game
Classic star officiating
yup refs bailed out team USA once again with imaginary fouls and uncalled travels in favor of TEAM USA. WEAKKK!!!
Team of referees did the unthinkable
NBA should bring back the old school rules. The world is catching up really fast, it's getting tighter and tighter as years goes by.
Yea, sure. The world is catching up, but Team USA is about to win gold & the Boston Celtics (Led by Brown & Tatum, 2 Americans) won the NBA championship.
Ok I can live with that
@@pleasedonttemptme5963 You have ZERO foresight and planning
what old rules? rules like what?
@@Beeman2892 You live in a rock?
@@pleasedonttemptme5963 You have 0 foresight and planning
USA needed all of that and a cameron center to beat Jokic, barely.
It wasn't even mostly Jokic, it was Bogdanovic and Avramovic that led Serbia.
Serbia had nba players coming off the bench. The worlds have caught up, and they get over it! Their offense was well oiled, and their defensive scheme was impressive!
Be honest flight … you don’t watch the games, just stat watch.. it’s obvious by your commentary about this game lol
Yes, didn’t even mentioned KDs dagger! And Joel wasn’t delivering well on the defensive end! USA at one point were excellent and running on the offense but couldn’t get a rebound. Joel did not make an incredible job guarding Jokic, if you watched the game, lebron durant and embidd were guarding Jokic, Ad was also aggressive on the defensive end with his rebounding. But this clown mention Ad wasn’t doing anything.
Did the unthinkable? Like everyone wasnt expecting the superstar roster to win gold by a landslide 💀
Team USA is the only team to get critiqued while being undefeated and blowing out almost every team, Serbia like 2x, but god forbid they struggle even a little. No team in history, not even those famous Spanish/German futbol teams got this type of scrutiny🤬foh
@@hollister2320people will always hate on the best when they have a single mid game😂, it’s like these people didn’t wathc the previous Olympic matches where usa was crazy
@@bIooddIt was a mid game but the Serbian team really did perform, basketball is not about the USA anymore. Also, the USA team did underperform defensively
@@hollister2320literally bro they still getting hate after going undefeated tf😭🤣 USA not hearing the end of anything if it ain’t MJ
@@hollister2320Obviously you're not a football fan because if you were then you would know that people here in Europe are constantly criticizing their own national teams. Not just in Europe either. Go ask a Brazilian what they think of their national team and they will go off on a rant more than likely.
"There was an idea, James knows this, called the Avenger Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to to fight the battles that we never could."
If this doesn't show you that Jokic is the best player in the world then idk what to tell you
With only one NBA player by his side he almost took out the USA team by himself
Steph is just that guy. Period
Warriors fans are bandwagon casuals 😂😂😂
This was his first good game lol
He was sensational, but let’s be honest.. This has been his ‘only’ great game (Out of 9).
Not mad at it, we needed Curry
So we gon act like Steph wasn’t playing bad all the other games 😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ mind u I’m a steph fan 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
He has not been consistent
5:40 That's Spoelstra on the floor, challenging Steph with a SMILE on his face. That's what I love about Spo, he's coaching the most talented, convoluted team of his career with near-zero playtime together and he's fkn LOVING IT!
Spoelstra doesn't get enough recognition for his coaching genius down here, same can be said of our scouts. It's not like Spo'Riley handpicks the players every year, they're TARGETED and then we get the best options for what we need with the cap limits we have left. Spo and Butler lead the team but those scouts deserve some time in the spotlight.
Being able to say I witnessed the Great Steph Curry play basketball is a flex I will hold over every single generation after me.. He put the Country on his back and saved America he’s a National Hero 🇺🇸
1:24 wait what? Is Jason Tatum on the team?
Never had this amount of emotional energy/excitement for a basketball game since the 2016 NBA finals it was honestly amazing to root for USA even tho im Canadian… (I never liked Canada as a basketball team so idc if they win or lose) 💯🌚❤️🔥🗣️
When the USA team needed EMBID the most... he f*ckin delivers... 💪💪💪
Use the like button as an Embiid Apology Form. Bet you hater cowards won't.
@@wooshman2 he allowed just as many points on defense and had multiple turnovers though
Curry delivered this one. Not Joel
Curry to the rescue
Embiid the Captain Marvel of the Levengers
The world has caught up. Heck, the most recent mvps are foreign born (joker, giannis, embiid)
I gave 8 years to rise up 1 or 2 national teams that are on the same level of the USA.
@@jaspionccv9426 Nah, never gonna happen. But if it does, the US just gonna scoop up the talent, like they did with Embiid.
@Hirtelen-pf1dp That's what happens when a sport becomes global. Talent can appear from the most unexpected places. And the way young players are formed makes total difference in how the strength of a national team builds up. As a brazilian, look Brazil. Once the greatest soccer nation by far, now is in second tier thanks to youth training programs that started in Europe in early 2000s. Now they have the strongest leagues, the best players and won every single World Cup except for the last one. If in one hand i don't believe US basketball will fall so hard, foreign players levels will keep raising sharply. Now most international professional leagues won't be just a bunch of bums practicing a niche hobby, but players who were raised in B.Ball culture and competed since their childhood against their neighbors, their local leagues and their countrymen, just like the US.
Dream team 92 woulda lost by 20
You sound delusional, Dream Team was perfection. They would not be jacking up failed 3 pointers. Look at the post. Nobody on Serbia would stop Ewing from getting his solid 10pts in the 2nd quarter.
@@bimrebeats its not just that, they'd lock down the perimeter, Serbia not gonna shoot over 35% from 3pt range against them. These youngins don't know shit about the Dream Team bro. Their defense was hundred times better than anything before or after. We could argue how offensive talents would match throughout the decades, but at the end of the day, defense wins championships and gold medals.
@@bimrebeats South Sudan would have destroyed anyone that the dream team faced. Competition is better worldwide. It’s not just an American sport anymore.
The Redeem team vs Spain final was another game for the ages. International basketball has been on the rise for a very long time
few days ago mike said curry is struggling and today curry did some inspirational stuff again :)
Why is there no commentary on France - Germany? It was a fantastic game between two very good teams.
The Dream Team didn't have to face a player like Jokic, he would have k*led Patrick Ewing and Byrd inna post
Bro this team is the best team the USA ever assembled
Man this is the first none NBA game I was actually sitting on the edge of my seat for man this game was awesome and so fun to watch. But man their perimeter defense was making me so mad they couldn’t defend anything from there but luckily they still got the win
I was screaming at the TV, I really thought Serbia was gonna beat us. They were shooting lights out from everywhere. Beautiful team play in 4th quarter along with Curry and Embiid keeping us around..got the W. Hats off to Serbia 🇷🇸 helluva team. Let’s get that gold. Bigs gotta get ready for Wemby and Gobert now.
get this guy to a million subscribers 💯💯💯
NBA players are now considered glorified overpaid players. The world is catching up. Without Curry, Bron, and Durant next time, USA is cooked
Steph carried heavily until the 3rd quarter, then at the 4th it was time for the refs to clutch it
Lol yeah the refs missed all those three for Serbia and slowed their pace like they already won. They were like trying to finish off the clock everytime they have the posession. Lols go cry, they choked
@@xxguestxx08 Lol, no. They donated 6 points on a foul that should have been 2 free throws.
@@Hirtelen-pf1dp donated 6 points? Lol you probably forgot that they sunk the basket. It wasn’t given. 😂 was it also the ref who shoot the basket?????? And you don’t know Fiba rules dude, if a player is fouled after a shot has been done, the team will retain the ball, go google it if you are clueless 😂
@@xxguestxx08 Thats the point, the foul happened before the shot.
@@Hirtelen-pf1dp do you need glasses???? The foul was done when the shot was already released and pushed AD over the screen. Lol
Basketboll getting better in all over the world not only in USA and that's the beauty of the game
Team played like it’s their FINAL game in their illustrious NBA careers.
I think people need to realize basketball is a team game. It’s crazy but having a full roster of all stars may not actually be the best thing. There’s only so many possessions and so many shots a team can take which is why a well rounded team usually is more effective. The sheer talent on the American squad allows them to win but people should not underestimate the chemistry and team play of some of these European teams. These guys grew up with each other and have played many years together.
I might be biased, but I would say that it was more the case of Serbia losing the game in the fourth than USA winning it. For three quarters we slowed the pace down to using almost every second of every attack, which didn't suit you at all. It's only in the fourth when the pace picked up, and the US team could start trading attacks, that the game turned around. Jokic being in foul trouble, but having to stay in the game was also a huge factor.
It's apparent team USA doesn't know how to play a slow paced game. If France does in the finals what Serbia did in the semis, you'll see the repeat of last night's game, possibly with a different outcome. And do not underestimate the home crowd.
The world has come a long way since 1992, and will only continue to progress. Do not presume that simply turning up is enough to win gold, even if you win it in this and future games. You are beatable.
Serbia didnt lose the game in the 4th, USA lost it in the first 3 quarters. Serbia was playing out of their minds, we all know it was going to cool down at some point.
LeGreat w/ a triple double, KD, Chef Curry & the bigs were so good. I’m beyond happy that that bump KD took didn’t end terribly. The final against France is going to be special.
This was the exact game they needed to get really battle tested, the camaraderie is on 10 now , TEAM USA 🇺🇸 LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steph and KD played together for longer than Booker and KD. This feels like a reunion
Even when trying to speak positively about Embiid they can't help but throw in shade. Embiid has been team USA's most consistent player the last 3 games. When its mattered most he's delivered.
I feel like he was trashing Embid in a video not to long ago for his Olympic play. Maybe mistaken. Facts though. They needed him the last 3 and he was there
@@ThatguyBrad69 yup you're 100% right he was bashing him. He's a parrot for BS narratives no sort of analysis just going along with the popular consensus.
@@ThatguyBrad69this dude is a hater he was tweeting bullshit about embiid during the game and never gave credit to Embiid
@@HippoBoy999or it could be because he has a loooong track record of shrinking in important moments.
He’s been playing better but quit the goldfish memory shit he was playing dogass just a few games ago
We can officially shut up with the Steph is not clutch narrative and that Joel is weak willed. I say that as the biggest Joel hater, he’s proven me wrong.
He played good. Yet, I still do not like him (He shouldn’t even be on Team USA, he wasn’t ‘born’ in my country).
The curry isn't clutch narrative shouldn't have even been a topic of discussion after the 2022 playoffs, I'm also so happy for joel, he really stepped up this game.
@@pleasedonttemptme5963Well, ' your country' is paying him millions. How much is 'your country paying' you?
@@user-dq8ik9ce1vA very decent amount, seeing as we are the 8th richest country in the world (Hah).
What’s your country paying you?
@@pleasedonttemptme5963what your country pays you is nowhere near what america pays embid . He’s also been a US citizen for quite a while now and his child was born here , that’s why he’s playing for us. The dude has been here in the US since he was 15 or so, this is his home, this is the place that has set up his life. You’re just mad because your country isn’t kicking ass like ours. We are literally a country built upon the collective skills of our citizens that immigrated to this country. That’s what america is , we are a collective of all nations around the world.
Brian Windhorst said it best "I will not put a celing on Wemby"
Lebrons defense on jokic in the 4th isn’t being talked about enough as well as embiid
Carmelo wanted to suit up by the way he yelled "ISO"
I was legit out of my seat cheering screaming at the tv and haven’t done that for a basketball game in sometime. Glad USA pulled it out but man please defend the perimeter! But the legends rallied. Curry, LJ, Durant, Embeed
Embiid sleezing his way to the USA team... he is not even f-ing american, and most of his points in the clutch were because jokic had 4 fauls and wasnt playing any defense...
The MVP not playing for USA is surreal af
But the US had 4 former MVPs in their roster. But if this trend keeps going, in 10 years it could happen of the US having one or none playing against MVPs on the other side.
Only because Hakeem joined us
Embiid did his thing when it counted so he can keep his pass port.
Jokic fights with Davis, Adebayo, Embid, James, Durant, and referees of course!!!
The amount of not-called beating on him was criminal!
4 free throws on the whole match!
And this guy talking about free throw Embid!
He could show his talent with other teams but we all know Embid, right?!
Watching this game live man, tuning in while USA was down to watch them come back. Holy hell
"They're certainly not the greatest basketball team ever assembled" Whys that? Because they're not doubling other teams score like the 92' team was doing against plumbers and part timers? Basketball has become international ever since, you can't compare the competition back then than what it is now, you have teams such as Canada(Shai), Greece(Giannis), Slovenia(Luka), France(Wemby), Serbia(Jokic), Spain, Australia, Germany and the list goes on with not only several NBA players on the roster, but most of the players in the MVP race or faces of the league. 30 years ago we barely had a foreigner in the league, now most of the best players in the league are foreigners. This is probably the most talented basketball team ever assembled and it's not even close, but talent is everywhere now.
Luol Deng by far the most underrated GM ever. He was able to assemble a team able to compete with one of the best teams the world has ever seen drafting from a pool of mostly semi pro players and normal tall dudes found on the streets (like their big man) under the cap of a bad contract with the Lakers!
call on Steph when you need him... what a great luxury
Bro EmbIid is about to get BOOed so HARD
Y'all notice Kerr is ALWAYS interfering with Curry breaking records? With his hating ahh. 😂
I think MJ 23 would have something to say about this 1024 team being the goat
MJ played against plumbers on the Olympics
1992 Dream Team played way weaker competition
I remember playing in USA back in 1024 it was when the game just got invented 2:04
He may but he's been retired 20 years and living like a King in Patagonia.
Why can’t the USA play sum plumbers 😂😂 again
“Did the unthinkable” they came into the game as 16 point favorites they did what was expected 😂
STEPH MY GUYYYYY LFGGGG SO GOOD TO WATCH HIM IN PERSON BABBYYY
This game was worth watching then the NBA
the curry haters quiet now
Team USA unsung heroes seem to be 1. Kevin Durant. USA barely won games that KD didn't play in. And now, he has the most points scored in the Olympics.
2. Anthony Edwards has been one of the best two way players on the team as he brings intensity daily.
3. I'm so happy that Steph Curry took over with his arsenal of plays. The needed Steph to step up since he has been regulated to playing in LeBron's system as he continues to pad his narrative of being the greatest...
Thw unthinkable was for them to lose. One should rarely think any USA Basketball team would lose in the Olympics.
joel glazing is crazy
Amazing game. I was nervous the entire time and I'm from Sweden.
On another note, 1996 was probably the best team.
Not team USA, Curry + KD did it again 🎉
Nah, this guy is smoking with his takes. After the Olympics took off, they really showed that they are the best team to ever assemble. Not everybody’s night throughout the whole thing, but combined, they are seriously unstoppable 🎊 🎉
sorry to burst your bubble. They have no chance at beating the dream team, especially with Kerr as HC. Coach Spo might offer a small chance.
@@alexandervelasco8095 nah man, I argued this before with simply speculation on other videos and joined the warring debate, but that was just speculation. But after seeing their games live, I certainly have no doubts anymore. This is hands down the best team I’ve ever seen. If you look at the shots the competition is making, it’s ridiculous. The rest of the world have truly caught up. There’s simply no defending against the perimeter nowadays not because there’s no defense. It’s simply because everyone has gotten so good at shooting the lights out that the outer perimeter is actually a viable counter to a tough inner defense. If everyone just played big man ball, may the most talented team on the inside win. But now that we have the whole floor (with curry that’s basically possible) defense is basically impossible even for the oldies. That’s what we saw at the game with Serbia. They had such a tough inner defense, the guys rlly had a hard time, so to counter that, we have curry’s deep and/or quick release 3s. So at the end of the day, it’s seriously fair game.
@@aaronyu2660 serbia definitely shot lights out for three quarters. I wasn’t worried until later in the 2nd half. No adjustments.
But there’s no denying their defense was lackadaisical during those three quarters. They hardly even contested one shot. You saw when they started defending at the end. Serbia couldn’t make one. Which is their fault then as to why they were shooting lights out.
If they were to play the dream team, they would have to be focused all game long to win. They won’t have any chance of coming back like they did.
@@alexandervelasco8095 If we’re talking Serbia, there’s no denying that their defense was good. The shots that the US made were amazing to the point where they were not defendable by any team by any means. But you’d be right if you’re saying this team USA didn’t defend. I will admit, the whole team’s defense was part of why the other team was able to go toe to toe with team USA. Even when the US defended, their opponents still were able to make some pretty tough shots by slipping through the defense and starting off with a bang. But this leads me back my point about players being in their prime. Jordan and many other players were in their prime, while James, KD, and Steph are gettin old and definitely way past their primes. The teams are also pretty inconsistent just cuz of their upbringing (these GOATS have tasted defeat before and got used to choking many times in their career, yet they are still one of the top of the top GOATS in terms of skill regardless of accomplishments). A lot of it has to do with the age and injuries. Ever since LeBron joined the lakers, you hardly see him even bend down during a hustle anymore when the ball is loose. Curry and Durant are never the same after their injury. They don’t have that athleticism anymore. You can just see it in their game. It’s just how it is. If you take into account their age AND the fact that they’re dominating the greats of the future with the talent the international team has, I’d have to say, this team is probably the greatest of all time.
If they do win 🏆
Then, this team can be rightfully proclaimed WORLD CHAMPIONS 🇺🇸
Thanks to the reffs you avoided huge disappointment, and why there is no prorps for Serbian players game ? No mentioned that for 38 minutes Serbian players that are not even in the NBA cooked NBA allstars entire game! Broaden your horizons. NBA is not measure of Basketball in the world, there are other leagues too , Euroleague is much better for basketball in general.
I'm convinced the Redeem Team or the 2012 team is the best USA squad in history. Dream Team looks immortal cause they played against 6 NBA players and a bunch of plumbers 🤣🤣🤣
Dream Team would easily rise to occasion if needed. Redeem team I would say is 2nd, but they never had a great big man on that team. Which showed up on occasion.
The world is getting better at Basketball. It’s that simple.
Pretty sure that when Jaylen Brown got asked to play "3 & D", which Kawhi would say hell yeah to, he politely declined. Which is fair for someone coming off a championship.
Jesus loves you and may God bless ..
Repent and believe in the gospel all what he said is true ^^^
@@Jay-nt3smahem brother🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
God is god 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
These bots are annoying, you religious freaks.
This will be a highlight game when they make a documentary about this team
People blaming USA for letting Serbia come this close don't realize that literally could beat any team shooting crazy like that. Ngl they had like 4 Steph Currys on there, felt like they hit 70% of their 3s no joke, that shi wasn't normal.
What a game.
Road to 1 million
Now at least USA knows they can overcome 17 pt leads
people are looking at this the wrong way... its not that team usa is necessarily playing bad, its that the rest of the world have closed the gap enough for most of these games to be really competitive instead of the usual usa blowout wins
The unthinkable????? That's a wild statement
Your brain is very smooth.
A loss against France would be a failure in the view point of USA Basketball.
Couldn’t have won that game without Embiid
Unthinkable? I wouldn't be so proud for this game. Not dominating no nothing. Almost losing. Better team vs a ton of good players. Yes Serbia had the better team.
Not really good for the reputation.
Jason Tatum should be playing more, but it think it’s about matchups
These teams we’re playing nowadays have world renowned centers. Bam is getting more minutes to help deal with these bigs.
I like competition. It’s good for the game
My take is: It's still not a team! There are just TOO MANY SENSATIONAL PLAYERS that Steve has to include. So they never get into their usual rhythm. It's a group of outstanding individuals, that's why they pulled it off at the end. As you said: In 1992 it was a different world, Dream Team was in another world.
a great system can beat team USA. its cool to see the world catching up to the USA. I think the 92 was the GOAT dream team however they did not face this type of talent. but the 92 dream team was the inspiration of the players that is why we are seeing this high level of basketball from other countries
People really thought USA wasn't gonna win gold🤣🤣😂
France can still beat USA talking realistically they playing in france
Alot of the games have been close
So its a semi to gold game its always like that @@MakaveliCVW
@@Trapligo USA gonna win🤣😂🤣
@@Tpnathan38cope
I'm rooting for Wemby. Wemby vs USA🎉
its great that there is more competition. It's kinda boring when USA just blows teams out every Olympics
Easily one of the best games wow
Lmao imagine if Embiid loses to France for the gold 😂
an alien vs the avengers where've i seen that before
Pešić destroyed Kerr, pure talent and some questionable calls from refs bring them home.
Referees
I’m confused. What happened with Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum in the first matchup against Serbia? These two sat last time, too.
I love team USA, they're an awesome force to be reckoned with, BUT, there is ONLY 1 DREAM TEAM and they do not compare!
