All these stars and just won by 7. Mad respect to the Spanish team
Remember these are the best teams in the world going head to head. Don’t diminish team usa win by saying “just won by 7”. Disrespectful to all the athletes that played this game
@@nathans3815 minus Kobe Bryant who was a class act, the US diminishes the rest of the world when it comes to basketball, the attitude seems to be give them the gold medal already cus is the U.S
@@luisperez7437 I don’t know if you’re talking about the players or the usa people. But that attitude isn’t unique to American basketball fans.Look at Europeans whenever someone says soccer. Obviously people are prideful that their the best in the sport, but the attitude that the original comment rubbed me the wrong way
@@luisperez7437 they were 8 and 0 after this game so its pm true
This Spain team would have been blown out by the 92 team.

then why cant i watch it now
@@user-hf8gj1ug1i tf are you doing now?
Who’s revisiting this in 2021? Rip Kobe 👑
It is weird because we have videos of him, and it really looks like he isn't dead at all. He is preserved in the virtual world.
Been watching 2012 olympic games all day beginning with that Nigerian blowout.

Spain fought hard, imagine barely losing to some of the best players in basketball history by 7 points, no shame in that.
The Americans weren't trying. If it was the playoffs it would be a different story
@@foldedcandle you serious fam
@@paulrelloso188 yea. Most USA players don't care about the Olympics.
@@foldedcandle ofc they do. A gold is always a gold.
@@foldedcandle Then I guess they also don't care about the world cup
The entire team was amazing. All 3 OKC draft picks, Kobe, Chris Paul and the Lakers current duo. Can’t forget Melo😤 I knew in real time there would never be another team I’d like this much again
I wish Dwyane Wade was in the roster, but he had injury prior to the Olympics. That's why Harden and AD took over Wade and Bosh spot in the roster. Bosh had injury as well.
Imagine having a second team of Anthony Davis, Harden and Westbrook LOL.
Spain is playing superior defense
And playing USA very strongly However both Team are very good basket ball.Both team are playing Energetically I Love these type of Sport game I gave both Team a 85% rating
Both basket ball team are playing good quality ball game it is a close scoring ball game and it can be anybody game.Both are putting out good efforts I think they deserve a 88% RATING
I had believe that the USA would have blowout Spain but it is not so because Spain has a strong tram they play professionally I give Spain a 80% rating
I give Unitrd State Basketball team a 95% rating
@@ainsleyblake6031 why did you comment 4 times son?
Spain played a really good game, they just ran out of gas in the 4th quarter. The USA has a very deep bench and is always fresh and rested.

Efectivamente, baloncesto al mas alto nivel
Creo que el mejor de la historia.
Yo tambien, es una verguenza que este generaccion de Espana no tiene el titulo de campeones en los JO ! Y todo el mundo del baloncesto fue con Espana en este partido - EEUU ! Disculpa por mi nivel de espanol

bajle - Probably because he and Pao Gasol were teammates on TWO NBA Championship Teams, and were even better friends.
my respects to Kobe, he was a person worth admiring and respectful, but as you will understand, I am spaniard, and from my point of view the american players had unsportsmanlike gestures. Above sport respect.
Manu Jr they just won a gold medal lol
@Trey Vert ofc they can and should celebrate, but greeting the opponents first is what makes Kobe Kobe
@@manujr5210 Spain the pride of European basketball. Even though I had many bad days after Greece kept losing to them xD. You are the best my friend.
Best FIBA game I have ever seen. Gasol brothers did really great job! Team USA was really really strong with so many super stars!
Isn’t this olympics not fiba?
Spains National basketball and Soccer teams were top notch from 2008-2012
Even handball too

Why tf y'all call an sport thats played 99% of the time with the HANDS FOOTball lmao

What's even a Hand ball@@aninwaloda6759
This is why Kobe Bryant will forever be my hero, while the whole team is celebrating in the huddle. He is still shaking hands and hugging players from Spain. He was the ultimate competitor but even he knew you respect your opponent. Rest easy Mamba, you are heavily missed.

@@dillonhanna well someone has to unfortunately
@@fitstar8871 not really
I'm impressed Spain kept it so close for the entire game.
Imagine if Steve Kerr, Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers or Greg Popovich had coached this team... Coach K. might be a good coach, but I don't believe he could coach an NBA contender to a title. In order to this, I think this team underperformed regarding it's impressive roster.
From today's perspective Tyson Chandler might be the worst player, BUT he was the NBA's defensive player of the year in 2012. And the bench was prime D-Will + young Russ + young beard + prime Melo + young AD + prime K-Love and prime Iggy. And, of course, 4 all time greats in the starting 5 with Kobe, LeBron, CP3 and KD.
This roster has been amazing. And it would be a great matchup to see Team USA 2012 vs. Team USA 1992.
@@melfox215 imagine if ricky rubio wasnt injured
@_H_ The spanish population is 46 M and USA population is 328 M. So there is ×7 teens playing basketball at least.
Moreover, in history, there has been only one player to be professional at the age of 14, that was Ricky Rubio.
Luka Doncic was 16.
So, as you can see, you have to be a NBA caliber player to start playing so young in the spanish league.
African Americans have much better conditions to play this sport than Spaniards, not only for their DNA but also because all the money America puts on sports
@_H_ most spanish youths would rather play the beautiful game
Kobe Bryant and Fernandez are two of the most best basketball players that I have ever seen in Olympic Games .The match is the most great match,I have seen many times🎉

Kudos to the US team coach who could build a powerhouse team with that chemistry and all that talent, granted he also won gold in 2008 before with similar starters
Always so cool to see the full might of the USA, all the NBA stars embodied in one team!
Best Olympic basketball game I watched. My idol Kobe doing Kobe things. Mamba Mentality at its finest. RIP KOBE and GIGI.
US can make three teams for olympics who will win gold, silver and bronze

Y llegar hasta los últimos minutos a pocos puntos...
Wow. Mis respetos.

Y Durán. El q más anotó.
Muy buenas asistencias de lebrón.

Amazing teams, they will always be remembered.
he called Russell Westbrook a “quick little guard” 😂
lmao
He think Russel is a noob
AHA LOL
He thought Westbrook is a racing horse, because whenever Westbrook had the ball he drives from court to court, ignoring his team mates, it's because a racing horse have this cover in the eye that can only see one direction.
Yeah they forgot to mention he's excellent at getting bounced in round 1
Everyone hating on these commentators. But who ever knew that Kevin love's uncle is the lead singer of the Beach Boys? Interesting factoid there for you.

Kobe's final Olympic game.
For me this is one of the greatest games in the history of basketball. the American team was incredible with kobe bryant, lebron james, kevin durat, chris paul. some of the best players ever. a gean merit of Spain to compete this game. with the Gasol brothers, Navarro, Rudy Fernández, Calderon. Without a doubt we are talking about a great show
Anyone watching this 10 years later
I grew up in the era when Michael was about to retire and Kobe was rising to become a star. Before the 2000’s, there was no replacement for Michael, he was extremely dominant and he was incredible in both defensive e and offensive ends.
Unlike Michael, Kobe wasn’t loved by everyone when he was playing. In fact, there was a period of time when people gave him different negative names. For me, I started to really like him after Shaq left LA, Kobe really showed the world how competitive and responsible being the star of the Lakers. I never regret getting that front row ticket for Lakers vs Suns game in 2007. Thank you Kobe and your amazing career!
RIP-kobe bryant😥😭
Rip Kobe !
As a Spaniard I feel very proud of this team and the 2008 team. They gave us two exciting and competitive matches against the enormous USA in two consecutive Olympics finals. I do remember watching those matches and enjoying them as I never did before (despite we lost both finals). Thank you USA and thanks SPAIN for these 2 incredible finals!!!
Spain was (still is) a great euro basketball factory. Lots of good talent.
grandee
As an American Im impressed on how good the Spanish team is. They where one of the only teams that really gave us a run for our money. Probably the second best basketball team behind the USA.

Kobe, Lebron, and KD! Years later and I still can't wrap my head around that.
The way Kobe chills, while the other players argue is one of his coldest moments tho.
49:05 Announcer: "how many shots can you put up in a half?"
Harden & Westbrook 2020: "Sir, let me show you"
Seeing Kobe there,it just breaks my heart. How time flies. RIP.
Funny about Spain is that they missed their starting and better point guards in that moment in both finals. Calderon in 2008 and Ricky Rubio in 2012.
El final de este partido fue un partidazo, cuando España lo tenía muy complicado casi acaba remontando!
First full basketball game I've watched and it was pretty insane, Spain not giving up until the end is respectable
Weeks later after Kobe and his daughters death and I'm still watching old games and interviews of Kobe's when he was alive... It's crazy to be able to watch and hear him when he's gone... R.I.P Kobe and Gigi 👍🏽
I just watched the 2008 and 2012 World Championships. From now on, I am a fan of the Spanish national basketball team. Still respect the American team as well.🇲🇳
RIP Kobe, miss watching him play and his fight for the game
