then why cant i watch it now
@@user-hf8gj1ug1i tf are you doing now?
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.
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

Really got LeBron, Kobe and KD on the same team. Unbelievable when you look back.

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.
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.

This Spanish team is one of the best international basketball teams ever as well.
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?
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.
Spain was stacked. USA LUCKY . No one will ever touch the origiNAL 1992 DREAM TEAM
@@alfredooliva5175 Nah USA just has better players
@@alfredooliva5175 US makes the best players. No one even comes close.
Ya, Spain can try their best, but US will pretty much always be best
Spain played hella dirty
2:10:49 Whole squad jumping....... Kobe giving props to Spanish players...
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.
Después de tantos años vuelvo a ver este partido y me quedo impresionado que gran nivel de los 2 equipos y cuantas leyendas juntas España va USA FUE Y SERÁ DE LOS MEJORES PARTIDOS QUE EXISTEN
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
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🎉
Kobe really is a good person, the way he comfort the losing team to lift back the morale. that is respect....

Even handball too

Basketball ( P.Gasol , M.Gasol Fernandez , Navarro , )
Best era Spain
What's even a Hand ball@@aninwaloda6759
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
This was an all star team vs Gasol hard fought by him, mad respect
Not only Gasol.
Spain had a strong team!!
Usa had Some candidates to hall of fame
Spain also had Rudy Fernandez, Ricky Rubio and Ibaka. They're great elite player to represented Spain with more experienced from NBA league
@@aaadj2744 True, but none of them would make the US team.
@@tonyiacomi4822 Tyson Chandler did.
@@cadeed9963 And Chandler was better than anyone on Spain. He was defensive player of the year that year

This is why we ❤️ Kobe. That play was dead, but somehow he keeps the play alive when it didn’t matter at the end. This is mamba mentality at its finest.
thebusiness70 I thought it was the best play of the game. Showed never to let up.
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
Amazing teams, they will always be remembered.

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.

Underrated
Legend
Omg thank you!!😂
a legend
the NBA players are not gods. Calm yourself out, Spain for example plays better defence than US
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.
Hola senorito y hola senorita filipinas
@@Boooooooooo541 france has taken spain's place now
Seguramente una de las mejores finales del baloncesto olímpico.
The way Kobe chills, while the other players argue is one of his coldest moments tho.
First full basketball game I've watched and it was pretty insane, Spain not giving up until the end is respectable
Kobe will always be in our hearts ♥️
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.
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 !
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 👍🏽
Always so cool to see the full might of the USA, all the NBA stars embodied in one team!
2024 anyone 😁🙂😎
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
49:05 Announcer: "how many shots can you put up in a half?"
Harden & Westbrook 2020: "Sir, let me show you"
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
Kobe, Lebron, and KD! Years later and I still can't wrap my head around that.
Seeing Kobe there,it just breaks my heart. How time flies. RIP.
I remember being like 13 and watching the 08 Olympics during the summer. Home alone, parents at work and witnessing greatness. Good times.

This is 2012! What’s the relevance?
@@mazkebar because the 08’ team kicked things back into gear for the USA team.

Spain played more fluent team basketball. USA had and always has the best individual players. I looked at the box score of this game- US had a TOTAL of only 13 assists on 34 made FG. Which is obscenely low.
Spain had 22/33. Much better.
Nobody cares dumbass
Thank you so much!
2:01:10 Kobe was nursing his nose which got hit a few seconds before and Lebron notices and goes to make sure his brother is okay
As a Spaniard, this match made me feel so proud of the whole Squad. They fight until the end with great teamwork and the USA Team recognized that. That's why I love basketball and the way we play to this sport. Nobody expect us, but we keep on top 😏🇪🇸

@@andreaspapadakis2602 That's what happens when you only have big egos on your team, some will avoid the passing the ball in order a point attributed to them.
