Argentina v USA - Beijing 2008 - Basketball Replays | Throwback Thursday 

What is your favorite Olympic moment of all time? Let us know and it might be featured in the next #ThrowbackThursday!

Hearing the sounds of the game is so much better than an announcer, this is awesome!

16:00 KOBE speaking in spanish saying "I Like Scola, I like it" like bothering him, and Scola replies with "Speak in english, you speak better in English" At 16:10 you can see Prigioni (number 8) claiming ref to give a tech to Kobe and ref is like: "what can I do, it's Kobe!" At 16:16 Lebron appears and cuts the whole situation telling Kobe to play ball. 20 seconds later Kobe makes a dunk lol Simply Amazing!

Love the conversation between Kobe and Scola 😂

This was a Superb Revenge for the 2004 Semi-Finals. What better way than to defeat them in the same stage.

Not gonna lie, I actually liked watching this game without the annoying announcers and their over critical game chatter.

Had to watch this again after hearing the story from coach K about Kobe at JJ Redick show. KOBE!!!

After 15 minutes I have realized that I watch the game without commentator

Classic fight of basketball, two dream teams of the world!

I just finished reading Coach K's "The Gold Standard", it was about the 2006-2008 years leading up to this game and the game against Spain for the Championship. It was very insightful and honest, it gave me a better appreciation for the NBA players who I, at this point, had considered Prima Donnas and would rather watch NCAA games instead of pro. I already had a great appreciation of Coach K, because I had been a Duke fan since 1988....but even this book gave me a greater appreciation for him and his coaching this team highlighted one of Coach K's greatest coaching skills,,,,adaptation!! Well done by all bringing the gold home in 2008!

Such a view BRYANT, JAMES AND WADE in ONE TEAM! 🙌🙌🙌

16:00 is what you came for thank me later R.I.P Kobe

1:02:24 Dwight got hit in the face, Carmello gets pissed at Argentina because of that, Kidd stops Melo from squaring up lol

Kobe trash talking in Spanish is priceless

rest in peace kobe 😥🇹🇷🙏

No commentators just hoop. I love it

13:27 Bosh, James, and Wade all together.. 🤣 the new something was up

15:30 The game finish here. I renember i was a child and how i put so bad for Manu. The game for the bronce was a real gold for Argentina.

They gave us this replay in 480 resolution so we could actually relive 2008. Nice.

Como nos robaron el foul en la tapa de Pipa Gutierrez a carMelo Antony finalizando el 2do cuarto... estábamos a 6. Le dieron 3 libres quedamos a 9. 🤬 Sin Manu lesionado. Tremenda remontada. Paolo Quinteros 🔥.

I still remember that summer in 2008, when I was just 8, in my aunt's home, watching this game with my brother and my uncle

Ok but can we just appreciate how this channel’s videos are literally the most constant thing ever for anyone with notifications on lollll

imagine having to make a documentary about something your country won 14 years ago, winning a competition the whole world already knew you were going to win lol. not gonna lie, the "redeem team" documentary only made the Argentinean gold in 2004 even better.

had watch this 100 times

I am Argentine but I will never stop thinking that players from the United States have very good playability and they understand each other better in any country in this discipline

23 Texas Tech Leads 9 North Carolina 125-67 with 7:41 in the second half of play 55:42

The crowd starting to chant at 33:38 I hear them chanting in Chinese “let’s go Argentina” 😂

Coach K's story brought me here. Miss u bean.

That Luis Scola is a very physical player. No wonder D-Fish smacked him.

Luis Scola really putting in work

16:02 - Kobe: mi encanta Scola, así me gusta! LOL

kobe is always so frienldly after games..all olympic games

I just love not being bothered by commentators.

ARG: So, come to get beat again? USA: You haven't faced this team before ARG: Yes we did, and we still have Manu USA: We have a Kobe

Fun fact: Kobe wore #10 for USA in honor of Lionel Messi 🇦🇷

THIS IS A BIG REVENGE FROM 2004 ATHENS OLYMPIC

1:11:30 maradona

Imagine having this level of physical in the NBA today

this is a better team than 2004

12:57 CP3 and Manu greatest floppers of all time hahaha

Bes't Team from Argentina" Thuth Love for you Guys, Forever ♥️♥️ !!!

Miss when basketball was so good !

Esos argentinos son muy buenos y además unos actorazos. Creo que en este partido se demuestra el verdadero nivel de ambas selecciones. Saludos¡

SWEET MUSIC FOR MY SOUL...ARGENTINA ! ARGENTINA ! ARGENTINA! ...

Nobody can stop scola

This game was played a few years ago. This was a Olympic game. NBA players are in this game also.

Re-watching this game after the documentary about the Redeem Team I'm 100% more aware of how important was Kobe to the USA players. If it wasn't for his mentality, thrive and quality (and off course, putting on the frame that Ginobili played less than 5 minutes), maybe this match would have ended as the one in 2004.

Does anyone know why Melo shoots 4 free throws in a row @ 1:06:15? just looked like a regular foul under the basket

Después del Dream Team de USA 92, esta selección Argentina en mi opinión es la segunda mejor en la historia, un equipo brillante, Estados Unidos preparo este equipazo plagado de estrellas jóvenes y experiencia exclusivamente para ganarle al CUCO de Argentina, su verdugo en dos semifinales, algo que no pudo lograr otra selección en la historia. En Indianápolis 2002 la final perdida contra Yugoslavia fue un ROBO al básquet. saludos a todos los amantes del buen Básquet.

Imagine being team Argentina and going "give me a screen to switch defenders" and you go from Kobe guarding you to LeBron on the switch😂😂😂

9:35 when your 2nd team is better

The best revenged in basketball history

16:00 Argentina is screwed when they found out Kobe can translate team USA HAHAHAH

May the best team win, from an Argentinian-American

Scola, Prigioni, Oberto, Nocioni, Delfino,....ufffff qué máquinas.....

US has some real dogs on the D; then the best finishers in the world. Just love hearing the players.

The video editing skills are almost as awesome as the bass playing skills.

The first quarter is an academic lesson of mamba mentality for Argentina.

Rest in Peace to the Legendary Kobe Bryant....@

Kobe’s recovery block on nocioni at 1:08:47 was clean asf

argentina vs usa was always an enjoyement to watch

90s and 00s is incomparable

Nobody on the Argentine team had any confidence, they were all scared even Manu while he lasted, those 2002 & 2004 teams had unbelievable motivation and chemistry Manu, Scola, Chapu, Oberto, Delfino got way too much credit on that Gold Medal run

They were already lost the moment Manu stepped out of the game

15:14 trash talk in spanish....lconchadetummmm...idolo black mamba..jugadorazo

Scola a beast fr

The whole world has totally forgotten that in 2003 at the FIBA Americas tournament final the USA absolutely smashed Argentina in the final. Then 10 of the guys from that team, including Kobe, didn't go to Greece. We all know that the USA would have easily won in Greece if they had the 2003 roster.

dunk 16:47 🇺🇸 1:03:46 🇺🇸 1:28:56 🇦🇷 1:30:37 🇺🇸 1:33:27 🇺🇸

This is so much nicer than having an announcer on the background.

Luis Scola is a walking bucket

16:12 Intense Kobe

This would have been a difficult match up if manu was not injured

R.I.P. KOBE

😂 Kobe Being Kobe at 16:02. Then, back up his trash talk. RIP The Bean yo

Se puede decir que con Ginobili el cierre hubiera sido un poco mas cerrado, pero lo de Alberto ¡Qué parejo!. Podemos estar hablando del jugador más importante en la historia de la Selección. No el mejor, más Importante.

So many NBA stars in their prime + superstar Kobe. No country had any chance to beat them

If USA men's basketball team didn't got the first place ,there is only one reason ,they didn't try their best

these olympics were so important to todays NBA please upload the rest of the games because the fact that not only do you not have a lot of them they get blocked when people upload... too important of a moment not to be recaptured

2004 usa failed 2006 usa failed 2008 kobe said holddddup

Kobe Bean ❤️

I cried after 1:40:50. The USAB legend refused not to shoot to show respect to Argentian players. He made my eyes crying tears of joy. If you like him, give me a like and a comment.

chris Bosh did so many rebounds and scored...

16:03 HABLA EN INGLES QUE HABLAS MEJOR JAJAJAJ

Carmelo com trança era outro nível kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Legendary trash talk moment 16:00

Manu got injured. So there.

at 9:01, that drive crafty eurohop move by Manu then hangs in midair on Howard tho..

1:40:49 Nice Scene!

Zero commentary !$) thank you.

Fue una paliza de USA lo reconozco y Argentina no era ya igual a la de 2004 que fue su pico más alto pero jamás nada ni nadie nos va a quitar lo grandioso que fue darle el golpe ko cuando bajó la guardia USA y fue Argentina

Man wades euro-step at the end was vicious!!!

You can see in this game how much team usa players respected every time he demanded the ball they gave him nthe rock

47th minute ... what a great tap on kobe ..arg s a great team

I really heard kobe and scola's convoy. Amazing!

47:54 Que linda tapa de leo Gutierrez !!!

Alguem tem o video completo de Estados Unidos x Grécia em 2008?

rip kobe.. :(

Can anybody explain why Melo makes FOUR free throws after a technical foul at 1:06:06 ?

Usa is the best by far in basketball all time..but I think Spain,Greece and argentina are the only ones tha can come close..Usa has more talented players for sure but the others are playing better as a team

who's here for Kobe Bryant
