@@Obiamajoyisrmd Is it? The guy is tiny and is 35 years old. He hardly plays during the regular season but tries his guts out and plays every minute possible in every international game, regardless of importance. This will be his 5th Olympics!

Again in this game, playing with and against players far more decorated and talented than he, he stood out as the best player on the court due to his passion to play his absolute best for his country. It's very commendable IMO.

I remember when people were disrespecting the hell out of the Americans for only beating Australia by single digits and talking about how the US would struggle against teams like Serbia and France if they can’t even blow Australia out Now look at this. Australia is a damn good team. The boys did great. Although I support the US and know this is a friendly DO NOT DISCOUNT THEM Edit: slamming Serbia by almost 30? GOLD IS COMING HOME
The US were winning that game comfortably the whole time, were up 23 at one point. They took their foot off the pedal at the end when it was already over. Wait til KD comes back
Whats tough is our bracket considering we have Spain, Canada and Greece. After seeing this game i have more confidence but its the toughest olympic bracket.
Australia was playing as hard as they could and they were down 24 at one point. The USA closed the game out with all the starters on the bench. KD hasn’t played at all and that dude is a cheat code in FIBA. Look at what he did to SERBIA in the finals each time they met.
@@iggyblitz8739 Yeah ok. Stop the cap. That style is boring as hell. If you like watching a bunch of below the rim players have at it. I've played high school, college and coached college. Our style of play sets the standard.
@@buckisz"our style of play sets the standard" 😂😂😂 It really doesn't sadly. Only in America do ppl go fanatic over silly little dunks that are worth just as much as a regular lay up. International basketball prioritizes efficiency, teamwork and core fundamentals over individual flash. Far more interesting to watch.
Bros I'm watching this game and looking at the talent and realizing what a fkn time we are in with basketball world wide. This is amazing to see the growth from early 2000s basically all American born players till now. It's crazy exciting
Bang on. While undoubtably Americans still want to and probably should win, it’s way more exciting with an unknown. I reckon after these Olympics with more retirements, the gap closes tighter again.
It’s so much more watchable than NBA, I think because less foul calls mean less boring free throw break and also less timeouts. NBA is painful with the constant ad breaks
In generally, Serbia and Australia presents two different schools of Basketball. Serbia is a typical playyer of European basketball, based on a strictly disciplined and well organized defence in first. Australia presents a baskteball containing more elements of NBA - personal show in first, based on a unique qualites of player as a individual.
@@Mihailo26 Of course, but my main point was the time that has passed, but Pesic is still out there coaching at the highest level and shuffling on the sideline for 40 minutes...
it took Mills to have his best game in 4 years for them to beat a team with 1 player... lets relax, we ain't getting anywhere close to the top with our current coach.
@razzo086 who said anything about the USA? This video was about serbia and Australia. I was born in MS raised in FL. Both sides of my family been in the US since slavery broski..full blooded American here
@@josh35292 Absolutely not... USA can definitely lose one game. It's gonna be tough for the opponent but it is possible. Assembling superstars don't make them necessarily a great team and certainly not unbeatable.
It's gonna be better than last time, for sure... Last time was a joke... Worse versions of France, Germany, Spain, no Serbia, no Greece, no Canada... instead we had Doncic with scrubs almost medalling, Italy and Czech Republic?
Great bounce back game from Patty, Nick Kay + Dante hitting threes finally. Giddey and Daniels have lifted for this international run. Big guys in Landale and MAgnay have been battling hard, Love to see it.
You can just tell that Australia is more aggressive, they want to win! Serbia’s game while still incredible, is focused on interpreting the play and acting as opposed to just doing it. Both teams are showing great promise
It's a shame Australia haven't called on all their NBA talents - Ben Simmons and Matisse Thybulle in particular. Even Kyrie Irving would have been handy (who obviously represents the US but was born in Australia)
Jokic show respect to Patty Mills after the game. Australian team is so quick and on point during their match specially in the final quarter. As what I've seen both teams are competitive.
This is maybe 70% from both teams. Serbian coach was playing bench guys most of the time to see who to cut off and who to bring on Oly. Prolly Aus did the same. Oly will be fire
FIBA Patty is a great example of how much confidence and role are important for a shooter. You give this man the key of a team, ultimate greenlight and he can shoot like a god. Hear me out, Patty has always been a great shooter, but he's never as good offensively than he is with this team.
Patty Mills was the greatest (exception of Manu Ginobli) international player at the 2008 Olympics. If it wasn't for Dwayne Wade, he'd have taken the USA crown back in those semi finals. Amazing to see him still delivering, all these years later. Paris gonna be 🔥🔥
Minutes and under totally different coaching instructions. If he got a chance to be a starter without restriction in his career it would be a different outcome.
He did shoot like this a few seasons back, Kyrie was out, Harden missed time, but he and KD had good chemistry right up to the All star. He was close to leading the 3 point count and percentage for the season and got invited to the 3 point shoot out. But he's getting old and he had to run so many minutes while 1 or 2 and sometimes all 3 of the superstars were out. By the end of the season he was dead on his feet and his percentage plummeted
Australia did get to warm up first against the best team and almost won, so it was little to no surprise that they got to beat the Serbians. Hat's off to the Aussies! 🎉
When Patty Mills is on "HIS DAY", Australia can beat anyone, including the US (It used to be the same for Spurs during the Demar/Aldridge era). The problem...Patty doesn't have "HIS DAY" very often.
People were giving team usa shit for them having a close game with Australia (when they took their foot off the gas) and look now they beat serbia Lmao
Australia has 10 NBA players on their roster and cut multiple current NBA players (Matisse Thybulle, Xavier Cooks, and Jack White). I don't know why people are acting like this isn't a great team with elite depth
Serbia was as going to Paris with 4 NBA players ( among others), before Jovic, unfortunately, got hurt. I like Serbia's s chances to do well and go deep into the tournament, although the USA is the absolute favorites because their bench is stronger than any team's starting five.
The Aussies have three top-10 NBA draft picks in Exum, Dante and Daniel’s…then add Josh Green, Patty “MJ” Mills, Jock Landale, Joe Ingles…if only Ben Simmons had some heart and discipline the Boomers could be really, really good.
XD Holy shit that made me laugh because it's so damn true. They have similar stature- both short for the league, decent quickness, and they both hustle, especially on D. Except Patty has substantially better skills offensively, and doesn't run his mouth.
Ignorant comment. Google Pat Bev and Chicago. Pat Bev is Chicago basketball legend. Just like Patty Mills looks like a role player in the NBA, Pat Bev had to conform to a defense minded rol player in the NBA. Pat Bev is notorious for getting buckets before the NBA.
Despite us winning against Australia, they showed just how powerful they are. They should go super far with Giddy on their team. I hope AUS and we (USA) get to play again.
@@mikivatrogasac4671still prolly gonna make it out the group now they actually have a centre, Australia been a top 5 team for a while now except last tournament
@@ytaccount8635 Then why was he -15? The worst on the team? Because Australia saw his defensive weakness and exploited it, Australia don’t have the most talent but they are well coached and follow game plans.
Everybody talking about Patty Mills playing like this when he can't even get this much minutes in the NBA, Dude can still ball and a solid sixthman💯🤷🏻♂️
OK so reading the comments there must be a lot more casual NBA fans watching FIBA games this year. Australia has made the semi finals of the Olympics in the Men's 5 out of the last 9 tournaments (current bronze medal holders). They are not some scrub team. They don't have any one player that is on Jokic's level, but FIBA rules make for a more team focused style than the NBA and they have a much deeper roster than most teams. This is not some wild upset, its literally World #4 vs #5.
Australia is vastly overrated. There are better teams than australia who are not ranked higher. Slovenia, Greece, France just to name a few. Rankings don’t mean much.
@stevem4660 How are they overrated? They're rated as a 5-8 team by most people and lost to the 4 seed in OT in the quarter finals. Theyre accurately rated I'd say. My comment above never said they were a favourite, just that they're not a minnow because people were freaking out that Serbia lost a warm up game to them.
@@Niko7739 I'm always confident. They said after 2004 Americans will never win another gold medal and America is the only country to win Five gold medals back to back. You don't have to get confident but I will.
They need to get out of the Group stage in the 2nd, 4th, 6th or 8th spot for a chance at silver. 7th is the worst spot as you play US in the quarters. 3rd and 5th can play US in the semis for a bronze medal chance. So even if they somehow beat Greece, Spain, and Canada to progress out of the Group stage, there's still a good chance they're facing the US in the quarters and getting knocked out, or facing them in the semis for a bronze shot. Best case scenario they sweep their group and no other team sweeps their group, other than the US. If they drop games along with other teams, they're leaving their fate in the hands of the +/- gods. Serbia might tank on the last day versus South Sudan so they can manipulate points for the easier road.
Love seeing Delly still balling. He was a BEAST in college and a very serviceable NBA player. That was great basketball on both sides. Fun game to watch. Lol and Ambramovich is a cherry-picker, takes one to know one.
This is one of the better shooting rosters that Australia has had the last 3-4 olympics or so. Definitely the most nba caliber players and you have nbl contributors like nick kay who can shoot the lights out. Trading in size for offensive spacing and playmaking with Landale and Xavier cooks definitely makes the offensive end flow faster, will see if the smaller bigs can hang through the olympics
Some things about Serbia: -Please never let Guduric be the primary ball handler ever again. He seemed like he couldn't pace himself, would be out of control most of the time. Constant turnovers. -Guduric as the ball-handler leaves Micic as a spot-up shooter which is just absolutely insane, making a former Euroleague MVP just a spot up guy. -Jaramaz was atrocious. -Pokusevski should be starting. They were starting Nikola Jovic in last year's World Cup, Poku can literally do everything Jovic can and arguably better. Heavily increase his minutes, he should NOT only be playing only 12mpg. This was an exhibition so maybe they were just testing out different styles of play, so hopefully we never see this ever again. If they want to win against top teams like USA, Canada, France and Germany they're probably gonna have to consider playing Jokic, Bogdan, and Micic the entire game. Jokic and Bogdan are used to playing 40mpg in a Playoff setting so they should be fine, idk about Micic.
Watched this game live an everyone was saying Serbia ain't trying just like the USA. Coping hard. There going to start playing hard half way through the Olympics and magically start getting every shot in.
@@AT-qu2bz Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That is sport. Now, seems that Serbia is better than most (except USA), but, it remains to be proofed on the court. A lot of factors influence rhe outcome.
It was concerning to see Australia’s lack of ball security in this game, but I’m more concerned about some of the lapses defensive…. Just looked lost at times. On a positive note, I loved seeing some actions called for Patty Mills, who was able to get some clean looks from the beyond the arch.
@@thatguy1488they had a lot of turnovers. Giddey wants to push the pace consistently but they would benefit from a bit more tempo. Ingles off the bench came on and despite his pace managed to hit some great passes to players cutting. Do like what I see from them at the moment
He has! He was the 2nd youngest player in his draft (2021). He was only 18 as a Rookie. He's going into his fourth NBA season. He's younger than a SIGNIFICANT amount of players that just got drafted in 2024.... and again..... he's going into his FOURTH season.
Yeah don`t get too hung up on these exhibitions but yeah Boomers look good and much better with Landale in lineup . Really missed having him at World Cup.
Aussies on a back to back too.. now we'll get serbia on a back to back.. we'll see. Serbia handled france. Aussie handles serbia. We handled Aussie. We will see tomorrow
@@A.Wojnarowski eh, there were less egregious fouls that were still called in some of these fiba games. theyre not very consistent with the level of physicality allowed(mostly in the paint)
A lot of people obviously dont get the preparatory games. Of course, everybody likes to win whenever possible but these are the games where you try this and that, and try this player in this role, and shuffle things around. Australia is very, very good team. Tough team. Of course, when fires on all cylinders Serbia is clearly better. USA is clear favorite, but, ona good day, there are couple of teams that could beat US team. It s gonna be a really competitive and interesting tournament. France, Greece, Australia, Germany, Spain, Serbia, Canada....it s gonna be a bloodbath 😃
Very well said. So many good teams and being canadian fan, know they were horrible offensively against americans. American media only wanted to say the USA was bad offensively and will be better. SGA,Murray and even Nembhard will be way better. Just a feeling out process in exhibitions, don`t want to show other teams everything. Lot of disappointed USA fans if they`re hoping for 40 point blowouts, like I was hearing,lol.
@nikiradio Ahh yes... America has won more golds than any other country in basketball. Dominating it like 90% of the time. Look at winning ratio compared to losing ratio. You're bringing the few times they didn't, essentially highlighting an exception. Exceptions don't override the rule. Typical euros coping so hard.
@@logomarkz people say that, but if the USA loses an exhibition games there would be no end to the slander, lol. Which is understandable, but it's funny given your comment.
Patty Mills is MJ when he's playing for Australia

Except when he plays Olympic semis. Then he turns into a pumpkin.

I find that he's a step quicker than everyone else with international basketball. He's limited in the NBA because players can match his speed though.
I never thought that. He led St. Mary's to March Madness & kept Gonzaga from fully dominating the WCC.
He is an important player of the 2014 Spurs.

I like Serbia's s chances to do well and go deep into the tournament, although the USA is the absolute favorites because their bench is stronger than any team's starting five.

Patty Mills
28 Pts, 2 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Stl (4-7, 4-3PT)
*#PattyCakes* *#Australia* *#Basketball* *#Olympics*
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Patty Mills play INTERNATIONALLY like MJ PRIMES DAMN
The Aussies have three top-10 NBA draft picks in Exum, Dante and Daniel’s…then add Josh Green, Patty “MJ” Mills, Jock Landale, Joe Ingles…if only Ben Simmons had some heart and discipline the Boomers could be really, really good.
I guess that makes it surprizing Serbia can even compete with Australia, because Jokic is a mid 2nd round pick
U forgetting someone there that rhymes with diddy?
Patty Mills reminds me of Pat Bev, except that Patty has actual skill, and isn't a moron.
💀💀
XD Holy shit that made me laugh because it's so damn true. They have similar stature- both short for the league, decent quickness, and they both hustle, especially on D. Except Patty has substantially better skills offensively, and doesn't run his mouth.
OOF lmao
Patty Mills reminds me of Michael Adams and Danna Barros
Ignorant comment. Google Pat Bev and Chicago. Pat Bev is Chicago basketball legend. Just like Patty Mills looks like a role player in the NBA, Pat Bev had to conform to a defense minded rol player in the NBA. Pat Bev is notorious for getting buckets before the NBA.
Delly still playing! 🇦🇺
Dirty Delli
Plays for Melbourne in the Australian NBL league.
@@rosselliswilkinson Not dirty at all, just doesn't play soft like the majority of today's (2010's+) NBA players.
Despite us winning against Australia, they showed just how powerful they are. They should go super far with Giddy on their team. I hope AUS and we (USA) get to play again.
Finally an American showing this Australian team respect 🤝
@@Layupline23 The respect was earned years ago, personally. I Always enjoyed watching them play.
@@HughThorneycroft passing is literally his best attribute
@@HughThorneycroft 1 game and you wanna overreact like crazy lol. It was a back to back game and he's been playing the most minutes
?
Australia exposing everybody's guards lol Mills even always gives the US a good challenge.
Both teams played at extremely high level. Great to see!
Australia Team a big big PROBLEM in FIBA right now! Watch out
Bro Serbia played with the 2nd team majority of the game and they have got hardest group on Olimpic...
@@mikivatrogasac4671still prolly gonna make it out the group now they actually have a centre, Australia been a top 5 team for a while now except last tournament
Yeah in last Olympics top 3 I think boomers can get the 🥇 this year@@Allyo3
all fax they are my sleeper team
🥇 USA, 🥈 Canada, 🥉 France/Aus/Serbia.
This is the best shape I’ve ever seen Jokic in. Dude looks thinner and more slippery than ever
And still is a huge liability on defense
@@phukyu Doesnt matter, hes literally doing everything besides defense.
@@ytaccount8635defense is a huge part of basketball. Understand that if the US is the best team, it's specifically because of defense.
@@ytaccount8635 Then why was he -15? The worst on the team? Because Australia saw his defensive weakness and exploited it, Australia don’t have the most talent but they are well coached and follow game plans.
@@phukyu Cause this is frendly game you idiot...how is doing in OG tournament so far?
The international level is so much higher than it used to be… it’s becoming globally super competitive, and that’s awesome
Everybody talking about Patty Mills playing like this when he can't even get this much minutes in the NBA, Dude can still ball and a solid sixthman💯🤷🏻♂️
OK so reading the comments there must be a lot more casual NBA fans watching FIBA games this year. Australia has made the semi finals of the Olympics in the Men's 5 out of the last 9 tournaments (current bronze medal holders). They are not some scrub team. They don't have any one player that is on Jokic's level, but FIBA rules make for a more team focused style than the NBA and they have a much deeper roster than most teams. This is not some wild upset, its literally World #4 vs #5.
A ok many casuals with an opinion.
Australia is vastly overrated. There are better teams than australia who are not ranked higher. Slovenia, Greece, France just to name a few. Rankings don’t mean much.
@stevem4660 How are they overrated? They're rated as a 5-8 team by most people and lost to the 4 seed in OT in the quarter finals. Theyre accurately rated I'd say. My comment above never said they were a favourite, just that they're not a minnow because people were freaking out that Serbia lost a warm up game to them.
This game only confirms every team in the tournament can beat one another. Should be interesting. Still hoping my team USA takes gold, however.
United States will win Gold. It's competitive for them but they will win it all.
@@ozmalee7114I’m not as confident… USA always have better Athletes but the international teams have better D
@@Niko7739 oh they have better defense but USA has no problems rising to the challenge either. These guys know what is in front of them.
@@Niko7739 I'm always confident. They said after 2004 Americans will never win another gold medal and America is the only country to win Five gold medals back to back. You don't have to get confident but I will.
Australia will be a strong contender for the silver medal
Lol
They need to get out of the Group stage in the 2nd, 4th, 6th or 8th spot for a chance at silver.
7th is the worst spot as you play US in the quarters. 3rd and 5th can play US in the semis for a bronze medal chance.
So even if they somehow beat Greece, Spain, and Canada to progress out of the Group stage, there's still a good chance they're facing the US in the quarters and getting knocked out, or facing them in the semis for a bronze shot.
Best case scenario they sweep their group and no other team sweeps their group, other than the US. If they drop games along with other teams, they're leaving their fate in the hands of the +/- gods. Serbia might tank on the last day versus South Sudan so they can manipulate points for the easier road.
Love seeing Delly still balling. He was a BEAST in college and a very serviceable NBA player. That was great basketball on both sides. Fun game to watch. Lol and Ambramovich is a cherry-picker, takes one to know one.
Mills playing like prime mj and giddy running to the hoop so aggressive only gonna make us win games
This is one of the better shooting rosters that Australia has had the last 3-4 olympics or so. Definitely the most nba caliber players and you have nbl contributors like nick kay who can shoot the lights out. Trading in size for offensive spacing and playmaking with Landale and Xavier cooks definitely makes the offensive end flow faster, will see if the smaller bigs can hang through the olympics
Cooks didn't make the team
And Kay plays in Japan.
@@goonerross4834 Swear I saw cooks play against USA, looks like I'm wrong.
@@brewbudsclub Did not realize he switched in 2020, stand corrected
What a game !!!
Some things about Serbia:
-Please never let Guduric be the primary ball handler ever again. He seemed like he couldn't pace himself, would be out of control most of the time. Constant turnovers.
-Guduric as the ball-handler leaves Micic as a spot-up shooter which is just absolutely insane, making a former Euroleague MVP just a spot up guy.
-Jaramaz was atrocious.
-Pokusevski should be starting. They were starting Nikola Jovic in last year's World Cup, Poku can literally do everything Jovic can and arguably better. Heavily increase his minutes, he should NOT only be playing only 12mpg.
This was an exhibition so maybe they were just testing out different styles of play, so hopefully we never see this ever again. If they want to win against top teams like USA, Canada, France and Germany they're probably gonna have to consider playing Jokic, Bogdan, and Micic the entire game. Jokic and Bogdan are used to playing 40mpg in a Playoff setting so they should be fine, idk about Micic.
Wow mills played a high level game this time. I hope they give mills a decent playing time in nba
Watched this game live an everyone was saying Serbia ain't trying just like the USA. Coping hard. There going to start playing hard half way through the Olympics and magically start getting every shot in.
Serbians always have the excuses on queue when they lose.
Basically - yes. Who don't see that Serbia is better team - do not understand basketball 😉
The same Serbia who had a stacked team and lost to an ancient argentinian team when it mattered the most.. 😅
@@AT-qu2bz Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That is sport. Now, seems that Serbia is better than most (except USA), but, it remains to be proofed on the court. A lot of factors influence rhe outcome.
USA's win wasn't more convincing because Ant Man choked in the second half.
Beautiful basketball. My eyes are purified.
Cringe
I imagine jokic’s game and lack of explosive athleticism would allow him to play for a very long time if he wanted to
It’s cool seeing other countries with good/great players that also play in the nba

It was concerning to see Australia’s lack of ball security in this game, but I’m more concerned about some of the lapses defensive…. Just looked lost at times.
On a positive note, I loved seeing some actions called for Patty Mills, who was able to get some clean looks from the beyond the arch.
how is it concerning they’re look like a top 3 team in the olympics right now
@@thatguy1488they had a lot of turnovers. Giddey wants to push the pace consistently but they would benefit from a bit more tempo. Ingles off the bench came on and despite his pace managed to hit some great passes to players cutting. Do like what I see from them at the moment
@@thatguy1488friendlies don't mean anything
Mills is always part of the defensive problem, he shouldn't be playing at the same time as Giddey.
@@user-rk6nn8gh9iboth teams had a lot of turnovers. Defense was tight as fuck on both sides, so it will happen.
Mills loves that Molten ball.
21 year old Josh giddy feels like he has been around for ages.
He has! He was the 2nd youngest player in his draft (2021). He was only 18 as a Rookie. He's going into his fourth NBA season. He's younger than a SIGNIFICANT amount of players that just got drafted in 2024.... and again..... he's going into his FOURTH season.

Maybe look at the players who played vs France and the ones that played vs Australia
Хахахах Кенгури се ложе
Yeah don`t get too hung up on these exhibitions but yeah Boomers look good and much better with Landale in lineup . Really missed having him at World Cup.
I’m shocked 😂 now USA really got it
Aussies on a back to back too.. now we'll get serbia on a back to back.. we'll see. Serbia handled france. Aussie handles serbia. We handled Aussie. We will see tomorrow
So much better than the nba , this is the only basketball I’m excited to watch these days
how does that foul at 8:32 not get called haha. id be so pissed if i was australia ha
Fiba rulls lol not nba
More contacts allow !
They let the guys play in Fiba and Europe. That's why NBA players whine to refs so much, cause they've learned that every contact is a foul.

@@A.Wojnarowski eh, there were less egregious fouls that were still called in some of these fiba games. theyre not very consistent with the level of physicality allowed(mostly in the paint)
Patty🔥🔥
Serbia is the better team, they just have to work on improving their defense, especially on the 1 v 1 situations.
Aussies' kits look so clean. Love the green and yellow
A lot of people obviously dont get the preparatory games. Of course, everybody likes to win whenever possible but these are the games where you try this and that, and try this player in this role, and shuffle things around. Australia is very, very good team. Tough team. Of course, when fires on all cylinders Serbia is clearly better. USA is clear favorite, but, ona good day, there are couple of teams that could beat US team. It s gonna be a really competitive and interesting tournament. France, Greece, Australia, Germany, Spain, Serbia, Canada....it s gonna be a bloodbath 😃

Very well said. So many good teams and being canadian fan, know they were horrible offensively against americans. American media only wanted to say the USA was bad offensively and will be better. SGA,Murray and even Nembhard will be way better. Just a feeling out process in exhibitions, don`t want to show other teams everything. Lot of disappointed USA fans if they`re hoping for 40 point blowouts, like I was hearing,lol.
