Svetislav Pesic was the best national team coach Yugoslavia/SCG/Serbia had. He knew how to handle egos. He was strict but not strict over the top like some others. Had he stayed for extra two years we would've won the Olympics in 2004. It was basically this same team, just better due to maturation. Stojakovic in '04 was much better than in '02 as were many others. But Stojakovic and Obradovic, the next national team coach, were not on the same page and he didn't even play in '04.

Beautiful switching defense. Everyone can guard everyone. I was confused why Jarić was still in the game after playing so bad (turnovers, misses) but he was key to having all 5 players being able to defend anyone on the US team. It completely removed use of pick and roll, and it stopped US offense.

He deeply respects Drazen Petrovic and hailed him as one of the best shooters in NBA. He isn't ignorant and acknowledges what's happening outside the US.
Yep, that is why people do not understand. Nowadays they look only about the offense and no defense. If you look closely at this game and many others back then you almost always have a great chance to get blocked. Most of these shots are very close guarded.
But the spacing was really poor, you could hear Stojakovic in the huddle, he said play narrow and let them shoot and in today's game that wouldn't pass against serious team. If the team doesn't have elite shooting then all the spacing in the world couldn't help but with 4 elite and one solid shooter can dismantle this defense + the rules was different.

USA fought well. They challenged Yugoslavia to their best game. Respect. You can see some talented players in the USA team that could easily play an important role in the Yugoslavian national league!
Reminds me of how realer the game was. Players without tights, sleeves or flashy shoes. Playing physical, less flopping, players not trying to "draw the contact" to get the foul.
Same kind of ppl who'd say playing in chuck taylors like oldschool nba players is just as good as in modern shoes. Dont get me wrong tho, everything depends on the player but we did go a long way to improve player comfort on the court and being nostalgic about such menial things is a bit irrational
Looking at the stat sheet at the end of the 3rd quarter, some NBA teams finish with that much 3pt attempts after 1 quarter nowadays! Also, what a year for Stojakovic & Divac, they were so close in winning the NBA finals
Today you have no defensive play and everything goes mostly 1v1. Its funny how people only concentrate in the attack. Watch closely both teams and watch how good the defense then was. Today in the NBA you are practically playing with no defense.
@@borisdavidov6600 not only today, NBA has always been a show rather than real basketball.

Great game. Gotta love Divacs. Lots of talent on that Yugoslav team. Took everything they had to beat this collection of USA all stars.
Not the best USA team played there.

USA fought well. They challenged Yugoslavia to their best game. Respect. You can see some talented players in the USA team that could easily play an important role in the Yugoslavian national league!

Usa flopped figuratively, Yugoslavia flopped literally 😂

One of the best games ever.
Reminds me of how realer the game was. Players without tights, sleeves or flashy shoes. Playing physical, less flopping, players not trying to "draw the contact" to get the foul.
you know those tighs, sleeves and flashy shoes makes you play better
Same kind of ppl who'd say playing in chuck taylors like oldschool nba players is just as good as in modern shoes. Dont get me wrong tho, everything depends on the player but we did go a long way to improve player comfort on the court and being nostalgic about such menial things is a bit irrational
Looking at the stat sheet at the end of the 3rd quarter, some NBA teams finish with that much 3pt attempts after 1 quarter nowadays!
Also, what a year for Stojakovic & Divac, they were so close in winning the NBA finals
Today you have no defensive play and everything goes mostly 1v1. Its funny how people only concentrate in the attack. Watch closely both teams and watch how good the defense then was. Today in the NBA you are practically playing with no defense.
@@borisdavidov6600 not only today, NBA has always been a show rather than real basketball. Rare to see dunk in international games cuz people would at least drag you to floor instead of watching you fly. Every NBA team needs a star to sell tickets, if theres not at the minute, then make one, you will see all other mates pass the ball to onr player abd thats why bench T MAC in Toronto transformed to super star in Orando. P.s. I like the style of T MAC tho
They got robbed by the refs, the Lakers and the NBA. That kings team was nasty.
@@xxxxxJAYMILLZxxxxxxx I rooted for the Kings, but all they should have done to get to the finals was to hit some freethrows in game 7. But they didn't.
@@HungarianDerrickRoseo... they should have been up by 10 at that point. The refs kept it close for LA so that if the Kings finally screwed up one play, they would just say "well the kings could have won if should have should have..."

@@MisterXdotcom
Miloš je bio klasičan plej skorer. Njegova najbolja osobina je bila: prvi korak i izuzetna promjena pravca, sa kojom je dobijao duele.
Ali treba reći da nije imao asistenciju, nešto lošija odbrana, u preuzimanju neupotrebljiv itd.
Sve u svemu, mislim da bi svi pre uzeli Šarunasa ili Holdena.
The best lesson for the USA team in basketball and for the NBA ers...and 4 years later one more lesson from Greece...This is Balkans and people warrior, not pop corn and cola fans...
Najbolja utakmica svih vremena prava uzivancija
bodiroga the doncic that never played in the nba ,people keep forgeting that al the time ussr and yugoslavia if they were still united would be at the top with usa's top team in every competition
Of course, but don´t forget Spain :)
Santiago Santiago Spain and Serbia only real sports nations in Europe, basketball, waterpolo, woleyball, tennis ofc, in football we are bad now, but we still got a Ucl champion (Crvena Zvezda 1991.), and we will back, big love to Spain and see you in Olimpics games next year in basketball semifinal/final😉

Unbelievable game. I watched this game twice. First when I was 13 years old. This time I see that I watched so many legend player.
I remember myself trying to do Bodiroga's crossover after this game. good old days
Damn, such dedicated fans. Had to travel all the way to Indianapolis.
No, most people in the stands live in the usa
it was more then just a game.
Divac genial, como nadie cuando defiende a su país...Equipazo
Bukvalno je greh okačiti ovaj snimak bez komentarisanja legende Šarenca 😀
Stojakovic and Divac should have been 2002 NBA Champs and World cup winners...
True! The ref steal the champ from the Kings!
NBA had other plans.
Yugoslavia - Champions of Europe 1995. / 1997. / (Third place) 1999. / 2001. ; Champions of World 1998. / 2002. We were(Serbia) great basketball force

What a crazy competitive game damn
Yugoslavia at that time was Serbs and Montenegrins?
Just Serbs in this team that year, but yeah
Just Serbs. Even montenegrins are ethnically Serbs, but there weren't any montenegrins in that match. Just Predrag Drobnjak, but he was sitting on the bench whole match.
Montenegrins are Serbs too, but some of them denide Serbian origin
Only Serbs my friend , we have best Basketball players !

Winning against USA who was and is a big anti Serb on the global scene was one of the most satisfying wins ever for the Serbian people. American exceptionalism getting a wake up call.
Reggie Miller, man. Immediate impact with two quick 3s when USA was dead, makes an impact defensively and on loose balls. And that's Miller in 2002... Oh and P.S.: 16:38 that is a BRUTAL rebound.
The only Teams that actually won in Medal Games against USA wsd Greece and Yugoslavia.👊🏻

The game that changed everything.
Beginning of six years of shame for team u.s.
It's a shame that this game became a de facto homegame for Yugoslavia
They sent the best players in the history of their country, we sent andre miller lol
@@jaahnnn LOL. You send THE BEST that WANT to play for your country. Not the same. For Serbia, THE BEST ALWAYS WANT to play. You see the difference?

There you can see THE passion. Something that is strange in USA basketball arenas.

Almost none of which have ancestors from the territory of Serbia, might I add. Serbs nonetheless, just not from Serbia.

Stefan Pekic hahah is that why it’s only getting smaller and smaller
Bodiroga is so underrated worldwide. He should have tried the NBA in order to build a greater legacy.
As Navarro said one time, NBA look a little be bored when you had already played at high level in Europe. For me, his legacy is even bigger because he staid hear
Bodiroga is a FIBA legend, most of the basketball world knows who he is.
I was there. Great memories. I also had the honor of going to the championship game vs Argentina. Argentina supporters were so salty and prepared to lose that they dumped cow manure at the front steps of the stadium so we wouldn't celebrate. Lol it didnt work

Ok. How about three useless players on offense (Ben Wallace, Antonio Davis and Andre Miller), an inefficient Pierce and overrated Jermaine O'Neal. But I was happy we lost because it led to the Redeem Team. And yeah, you saw what happens when team usa actually sends their best.
