Agree, Puerto Rico have been in 10 Olympics and 15 World Cups way more than any other European country, tied in the 3rd place with Canada as the countries with more appearances in the World Cup. Not to say PR is better than anyone but is very important that people understand that Puerto Rico is not new in this, we just went through some dark moments in the past few years, but we always have been part of the biggest stages of the Basketball!

​@@ChRisTiaN28UCTwithout forgetting that Puerto Rico has been the only team that has defeated the United States in an Olympic game, no one else has done it again

PR have been in 10 Olympics brother

@@O1162-l2l We gave them their first Olympic defeat with NBA players. They’d lost before. After we defeated them in Athens, Lithuania also did in group stage. Then they lost to Argentina in the semifinals. They also lost to France in group stage in Tokyo 2020.

@@AnelRuiz-e7x that’s exactly my point

Puerto Rico is a low key baller country. Our two sports are baseball and basketball. Nothing to be ashamed of. Puerto Rico has more people than Lithuania and they’re also American. A lot played at prep schools in the states

@@evansoto4733 Yeah Puerto Rico has like 3 million people to Lithuania's 2 million but more importantly the Puerto Rican diaspora, Puerto Ricans living outside the territory and in the US proper is another 6 million. That is where the majority of their players came from.

Don’t be ashamed, Lithuania has an excellent team. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷❤️🇱🇹

No need of feeling that way, my friend... Lithuania is a powerhouse and we respect you A LOT. This time we were better and being at home helped a lot (especially due to our fans).

Dnt b ashamed,bro.lietva is too strong of a team. Best of luck,1418

One of those you mention will win gold

They don’t have defense against the big guys down low though.

Yes, never forgot she 2004Olimpics we got away with taking away the info tus of USA NBA team

They won’t play France and Canada. They’ll have to worry about Serbia and USA but they’re in probably the easiest pool so as an Aussie I hope they can pull an upset

@@ngardu6346 There are a few vids of the USA Select team beating up on the Olympic team in scrimmages 3 days straight... PR can definitely pull an upset in their bracket.

How they looked in the previous Olympics? 2020 and 2016?

@@ExeLietuva Lithuania hosted OQT 2020 and lost to Slovenia in the Final. 2024 Lost to the host nation Puerto Rico in the Final. Two straight short for Olympics that is ouch. 💔

not true, your boys truly gave it all...infact they were just unfortunate, you should be proud of your team

​@@sifisonkosi9427 I'm not questioning how much they give. Every single person on the national team deserves respect regardless of their performance. While luck does have some impact on the result, basketball is not really based on it that much, otherwise we wouldn't have back-to-back champions in a bunch of leagues and tournaments worldwide. If I was to build a tier list, I'd put Lithuania somewhere at the bottom of the B tier, with the US as the only country in the S tier. We're just not a contender for any titles for quite a while now, and we're always a heavy underdog against any A-tier teams like Spain, Serbia, or France. Our basketball system is like a decade behind everyone else's, both in nurturing talents and building strong foundational gameplay strategies. And it shows.

It is the rest of the world is getting better

Waters is like Isiah Thomas (Pistons). He can take over a game anytime.

Yea him and Alvarado are tough

Athens 2004....

​@@zekigprsorry man but USA is gonna win that. Their team is ultimate, look it up, they have actual monsters on their team

This time PR will lose by 30

Debiste empezar por escribirlo en tu idioma y no en el de ellos.

@@baronceli whatever, fully bilingual, English is an international language, uso en lenguage que mas me plazca y de acuerdo a quien le quiero enviar el mensaje... Uncle Sam, your worst nightmare is back, hope you are beter prepare this time, una medalla olimpica es buena, pero darle una pela al tio sam.... eso no tiene precio.....

Your calculations forgot to account for Alvorado not being anywhere close to making the team USA roster. So it wasn’t a decision of which team to play for. Embiid is a weird example btw since he could have elected to represent USA, France, or Cameroon. can you name another player who has the option of deciding between 3 teams? nah

@@marambula Sounds like ring chasing excuses.

Our Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 soldiers don't speak English in WW2 and they represent the USA 🇺🇸.

​@@CasiqueLibre ufffff thats real

@@CasiqueLibre that is tuff🤝🤝💪🏽

Vergüenza por que se ve que no conoces la historia del deporte puertoriqueño

@@IvanOrtizRamos You are right I have no idea about history of PR sports or country itself. All I know that for most part PR players are no names, and they managed to over deliver, which is really impressive and I hope they will keep making name for themself by showing good game in France. And maybe even score good contracts after Olympics in some decent leagues.

The best few coaches rejected to work with team and JV is on vacation and other players skipped.

​@@DJALEXNOWO wouldn't have made a difference. No perimeter defenders to guard PRs shooting and Val would of just slowed down the pace, no fast break which Lithuania was lacking in

they 're done

It’s sad them nor Slovenia will be there. Best of luck to pr

As an Australian it would’ve been good to see our old rivals at the games

Van ellos, nosotros no vamos ....

Coppium?

@@viliune5201yeah i live in puerto rico and i don’t know what he on about honestly 😂

We are not gonna lie. The referees were awful at all games in the Puerto Rico games for all teams.

I support fellow Balto-Slavic Serbia

Definitivamente la jugada del torneo! 🔥🔥

@@ChRisTiaN28UCT Quedó de Show!!💪

What from the us? They are still citizen of Puerto Rico

Big girls don't cry!! 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kodel geda? Laimejo stipresne komanda...lietuva senai nebe krepsinio salis...

Cómo mexicano te digo que no nos importa Puerto Rico, lo respetamos pero eso es todo. Los únicos interesantes son USA y Francia.

@@santiagov2788 querian vernos fracasar porque ustedes no lo lograron, no hable si Puerto Rico esta al nivel de USA o el que tu quieras! Ganamos y no les importa, pero si hubieramos perdido estuvieran aqui riendose y celebrando que perdimos!

Yo también odio los dos pero solo en enfrentos deportivos. Culturalmente es todo 💙

@@nelson1.o asi es solo es deportivo, solo que en esos países se van bien personales cuando se trata de Puerto Rico, no entiendo porque!
