That's the beauty of USA Basketball. You can beat us........ but we're gonna come back with a vengeance and make you wish you never did. Seriously, congrats to Greece winning in 2006, but this was just a sweet game to watch in terms of sports revenge.
Among all international team in fiba or olympic i think greece is the most discipline team in terms of defence and offence its because with or without any nba player in their respective team greece team defence is amazing in international stage
@Carl The One apparently some Greek dude just scored 50 in game 6 finals and won more rings than half of team USA COMBINED. Also Greek players don’t need no super teams to win a ring compared to those USA chumps 😂
@Carl The One you just another loser worshipping some helicopter dude who never even know u existed, pathetic. While for me I know there’s not a single one of them 7ft pipe cleaners whose asses I couldn’t kick. 😉
Damn. I wish Dwyane Wade was on the US team this year, but I hope his knee surgery helps him dominate the league in 2012-13 like that shoulder injury helped him 2008-09.
yeah he was my favorite player but then he got a lot of injuries and he got worse I really looked up to him and I still do but he's just the incredible player that he once was
ok maybe kirk hinrick is not a superstar . Lebron , wade and bosh , who had only 3 nba seasons of experience , had already become some of the best players in the ligue (nba). And were very sure about their abilities ,so they were able to make fun of greece by laughing at the beginning of the match while shootingg free throws. Also if they weren so experienced why the coach those them to be starters?
@iYOSsSi I know what decade is. It's a figure of speech for something that has long forgotten. Not even the fans care about what happened in the past. They live in the present.
Judging by the way you spelled that you fail to see that experience doesn't automatically make you a good player. Unless Lamar was just ruining dallas(which he did a very good job of) for revenge of 2011 playoffs,and is still the Lamar we know. Then I just don't understand why he is in the olympics.
I'm sure all fans think this of their teams, but USA can't get a call either. Kobe got MUGGED at the start of the Greece game, and then Greece started Fiba flopping... it's painful to watch sometimes.
I see we have basketball "fans" on here. asking why Odom is on the team means you don't keep up wit the NBA at all Smh you know how many ppl are hurt and can't play from the original roster?? Smh
So What ?? Brasilian team in soccer shoudn't take players like ronaldinho, kaka' or Robinho just because they are superstars ?! If A player is very good, he deserves to play with the national team even if he is a superstar
+STATRIMC95 you were. They sat most of our good players and had our shirtless squad of all time. It's odd that we lost more matches in a span of 4 years than we had our entire history.
@ginoblee94 Argentina beat the USA without Kobe & Shaq! What happened when Kobe played? Like here in the Olympic's Kobe played and you lost twice against the USA!
@tomerik112 relax budy back in '06 you didnt have all of ur stars but u had lebron,carmello and several other nbaers we played our basketball (the european way) and won. It's not something small for a 10million populated country against one of 300mill. with massive and continuous production of NBAers. last, but not least, we have the same God as u, and not the 12-god religion of ancient Greece, for Christ's sake..
First of all you mean "beat" not "win" and Dream Team? LOL The Dream Team was the 1992 team! Congrats on your win but it wasn't the "Dream Team" it was a bunch of scrubs we threw together at the last second for the tournament.
