  • lebron has a gold medal haters i think a gold medal is more important than a ring

  • Nothing puts pride in my heart like seeing my fav athletes put on the USA jersey... Goin for the repeat in London 2012! Team USA!

  • I didn't know the Miami Heat represented the USA in the 2008 olympics?

  • 6:38 My favorite play :)

  • Comment removed

  • 4:41 whole spanish team calls for travel lol.

  • i wanna see the Dream team(in their prime) vs the Redeem team.. damn would that be fun to watch

  • I am so pumped for 2012 Olympic Games this year! Hope to see USA dominate again.

  • Michael Redd?????

  • LOL @sumskater999 someone clearly has a bad case of nostalgia, first of all lebron james would break larry birds scrawny little arms. The way players have evolved into the 2000's is so different than back when the dream team was around. I bet there are point guards in the league right now who could overpower some of the weaker sf's or pf's from 20 years ago. As far as skill wise it is hard to compare if one person is better than another just based on how they play against lesser opponents.

  • This is embarrassing to the rest of the world. I dont even see the point in watching basketball this year, just going to more of this. Lol, may as well just give them the medals now.

  • pau, marc, rubio, fernandez, and calderon disliked this video

  • something suprise me more than the dunks and blocks : THE SCORE

  • not 3 point shot

  • 6:38 travel

  • this is all dunks and blocks....terrible video fanboy

  • @eaktheballer

    ...and what would you like to see? It does say "highlights"

  • @ChicagoBulls92 there's other highlights in basketball, like ones that actually show how good the players are

  • @eaktheballer

    ok, well I chose to show the most exciting ones for this video. Team USA was great at fastbreaking because they're so much more athletic than other teams and so that's what I showed in this video. What would you like to see? I could show jumpshots but most people don't like seeing jumpshots in highlight reels.

  • @ChicagoBulls92 maybe he would love to see Freetthrows i guess. Amazing vid btw. Ive watched it more than once honestly. music, highlights go perfectly. One of my fav vids on youtube. Great job

  • @ChicagoBulls92 wheres d wades windmill dunks

  • Anyone know any rumors on the rosters for 2012 London??

  • germany is fuckin terrible

  • I can't wait till next years olympics..... so we can DESTROY everyone again!

  • @PeteTheMallard USA USA USA!

  • Yo dawg, I heard you liked that song Champion, so we put Champion in your Champion, so you can hear Champion when u watch ur vid bout Champions...

  • LeBron is obviously a better basketball player than Bird or Pippen, the championship thing is the only flaw on his resume.

  • @boomboombam6 Not in 2008, he wasn't..it seemed like he couldn't hit two jumpshots in a row back then

  • WHY does it matter which USA team is better? All that matters is that they are better than every other team in their tournament.

  • US Basketball is amazing to watch. SO many stars all join together to represent. This video is great to watch.

  • HOW is the Redeem Team better than the Dream Team?

    PG: Magic and Stockton were both better than Kidd, Deron Williams, and Chris Paul.

    SG: Michael Jordan was better than Kobe or D-Wade, but those two may be better than Drexler.

    SF: Bird and Pippen were both better than LeBron and Melo. Mullin was better than Tayshaun.

    PF: Malone and Barkley were both better than Boozer or Bosh.

    C: Robinson and Ewing were better overall than Dwight, although Dwight is better defensively.

    End of story.

  • @sumskater999

    Who said it was better?

  • @ChicagoBulls92 A lot of people who forget that 1992 team. It needed to be said.

  • @sumskater999 Bird and Pippen Still ill Take leBron And Melo All Day Baby All Day

  • @sumskater999 Ageee with everything except on SF; LeBron IS better then Bird ever was don't even start the argument there.

  • @WWEHBKFan Are you KIDDING me? No, let's start that argument. Larry Bird - 3 rings. LeBron James - 0. Bird was a 3x three-point shootout champion, he made the 50-40-90 club TWO seasons, he's a top 5 player of ALL TIME, he led one of the greatest teams in NBA history, he knew the definition of CLUTCH, 3x MVP, 2x Finals MVP. Bird was the greatest SF the NBA ever saw, and even Pippen is a hell of a lot better than LeBron. Those two could teach him a thing or two about HEART and CLUTCH.

  • @sumskater999 Bird and Magic weren't half as good as they once used to be. And to say that Stockton and Pippen were better than LeBron and Paul is ridiculous. You should also watch the actual tapes of the teams playing instead of judging by the names on the roster. The redeem team was much more athletic, much better defensively, much better in the fast break and far more coherent. Redeem team was a better team, with the emphasis on team.

  • @TimesEyez I've seen EVERY one of those players, both in the NBA and Olympics. Okay Stockton has records in steals and assists of ALL TIME. Paul may get there, but it's still too early in his career to say. Pippen could defensively close out a team in a way that LeBron could never do in his wildest dreams. Plus Pippen was a 4th quarter CLOSER.

    Clyde, Jordan, Pippen, Malone are all top 10 in steals, whereas Redeem only has Kidd and Kobe closeby. Clyde, Jordan, Magic not good on the fastbreak? HA!

  • @sumskater999 No, Clyde and Jordan are not better in the fastbreak than Wade, Paul, James, Bryant, Williams and Anthony and theyre certainly not better at defending the fastbreak. Magic Johnson wouldnt outrun anybody in 1992.

    Comparing all time steals between veterans and youngsters is ridiculous and it tells very little about defensive ability on its own. The redeem team had a lot better one on one defenders. You can try to compare the individual players but the redeem team was the better TEAM

  • @TimesEyez Wow Clyde/Jordan not better in the fastbreak? You clearly don't know your basketball or you have NO sense of history. If you saw a SINGLE Dream Team game, you'd know that Magic actually led probably more fast breaks than anybody else.

    Pippen had one more defensive-team selection than LeBron by his 7th season. Bird made it thrice, Melo NEVER will. Clyde and Jordan are steals pros. Malone and Barkley would KILL on the boards.

    Dream Team had 2 defensive player of the years to Redeem's 1.

  • @TimesEyez And if you want a real stat, how much did the Dream Team win their games by? And how close was it when the Redeem Team scraped by?

    Magic was still money, he had just led his team to the Finals the previous year. Not as good as before, but still one of the best NBA point guards. And Bird wasn't NEARLY close to himself, but he could still hit 3's with no problem.

    Bottom line, Dream Team dominated on the SCOREBOARD. Can't argue with that.

  • @sumskater999 A real stat... You've got to be kidding me. The rest of the world barely played basketball at that time. Some teams started with amateurs. I can tell by your arguments that you probably didn't watch any games from the dream team. Magic wasn't money. He didn't even play in the NBA anymore. He was watching the NBA from his couch for an entire season before the olympics started. Larry's back was done. The dream team had terrible opposition and often didn't play good even in winning.

  • @TimesEyez Magic made the PERFECT assists on fastbreaks to whoever was right up there with him for the dunk. I love when people use the excuse "they didn't play ball at that time." They sure did, obviously not as well as now but to tell me the Dream Team wouldn't have DOMINATED in the 2008 Olympics, you are INSANE or need to revisit those games. I'm aware Magic didn't play for a year, hence why he led his team the PREVIOUS year to the Finals. But he still made amazing passes, and scored at will.

  • @TimesEyez And in spite of these players, you can't argue with the ROSTER. You really think a team with 15 NBA MVP selections on 6 players can POSSIBLY be worse than a team with 3 selections on 2?

    PG: #1 Magic, #2 Stockton, #8 Kidd, #10 Deron

    SG: #1 Jordan, #2 Kobe, #6 Wade, #8 Drexler

    SF: #1 Bird, #5 Pippen, #8 LeBron

    PF: #1 Malone, #2 Barkley

    C: #7 Robinson, #8 Ewing

    That's around how these guys rank in NBA HISTORY. Those not mentioned don't even make the top 10. And these are popular opinion.

  • @sumskater999 Hahaha! Come on... Most of the players of the redeem team are just in the half of their career. Following your logic they should've put Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlain on their team in 2008.

  • @TimesEyez And following your logic, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard will have at least 12 MVP selections to come by the end of their careers. I wonder who's right, because they don't dominate the NBA NEARLY to the extent that the Dream Team did.

  • @sumskater999 dude i agree accept lebron is better than pippen and bird hes one of the most athletic players of all time, hes 6"8" and can shoot, dribble, pass and his post game is getting better bird was one of the best all times. probly at lebrons level but not pippen otherwise good logic bro btw this is just my opinion

  • @famigohard I'll say this. LeBron COULD be better by the end of his career than either of them, but he still has a LOT to prove before he can be considered that great. He definitely has the potential and skill/talent to be better, but he doesn't have the heart or clutch gene that Bird and Pippen had.

    Pippen was one of the greatest defenders in NBA history. He could lock down an entire team by himself. I don't think LeBron's defense is anywhere close, but his offense may be better.

  • @sumskater999 yeah who said it... of course no matter what.... Dream team is better... just add kobe on the bench instead of drexler..... then put Kareem on the C instead of Robinson... a true Dream Team.... IF lebron can prove himself... he will be on this Team.... same goes to Drose.. and Dwade

  • @sumskater999 Dwight Howard is great overall and the #1 in the league GO MAGIC!!!

  • @sumskater999 pippen better than Lebron?? no no no

  • Comment removed

  • @rodrigo29056 i really didn't understand a word of that mate haha

  • Comment removed

    Bench: Durant, Melo, Rose, Westbrook, Kobe, Amare

  • @dbuck161 Blake Griffin too because you need one more player

  • @AussieFkinPride U mad bro?

  • 5:13 is so ridiculous

  • 2012 USA Olympic Team

    PG - CP3/Rose/D-Will, SG - Wade/Kobe, SF - LeBron/Durant, PF - Amare, C - Dwight Howard

  • 3:55 jason kidd only USA points out of the whole summer! lol

  • man this song is BEAST MODE!! i cannot wait for this years olympic team. so many good players haha.. im dying to see who plays on the team. awesome video!!

  • don't mess with USA Basketball and Chinese pingpong

  • Omg the USA team just fucking abused that hoop...Nasty!!!

  • Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Howard, Anthony.

    That's just plain rape.....

  • @lolita123ish Damn fucking straight. Never mess with USA basketball.

  • Could I please use this video for a project in school? I will be posting it on a website that I made using google sites, and you will get all of the credit and the views. please let me know.

  • This is a joke for America.. Lol

    

  • way to play the same song the entire time, douche

  • @jzmista

    If you don't like it, don't watch it...better yet, mute it. If you want to listen to different songs, turn on the radio or invest in an ipod.

  • Comment removed

  • @ChicagoBulls92 I own an i-pod but I don't get why you'd play 10 minutes of the same song.

  • @jzmista

    Sorry if you don't like it, but nothing I can do now. Just make a playlist of your favorite songs, mute my vid, and play those instead. I mainly just put this up for the highlights.

  • @ChicagoBulls92 very good song, it could play for 12 hours ;)

  • HAHAHA chris bosh at 6:12 just lol im sorry just lol

  • damn i feel bad who ever had to play this team.... it must of been a dangle fest

  • i get the point we ready damn choose a different song

  • Thats for 2012.

  • PG. Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose

    SG. Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade

    SF. Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony

    PF, Chris Bosh, A'mare Stoudemire

    C. Dwight Howard, Kevin Love

  • @mrandrewvuong I'd actually start Rose over CP3, and CP3 is my fave player so that says a lot.

  • Team USA won because of Kobe. He proved to the world that he is a game closer

  • The 2008 Redeem Team could have been even better if they would have taken Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Jason Kidd, Michael Redd, and Tashaun Prince for A'Mare Stoudemire, LaMarcus Aldridge, LaMar Odom, Tyson Chandler, and Ray Allen. My reasons are: the 2008 team already have the PG, SG, and SF positions covered; and the 4 big players I just named fits the PF and C positions perfectly because Dwight Howard needs help in the paint. I just put Allen in there because he's a better shooter than Redd.

  • did chris paul travel?

  • for me this is the 2nd best USA Basketball team...1st is the Dream team....

  • LeBron had the sickest dunks

  • @TheLeBronJames6Fan

    No he doesn't bro. He only have the power and tomahawk dunks only. Creativeness...I don't think so. The young Vince Carter has the sickest dunk.

  • usa the best of the best

  • At 1:43 the asian guy is like wtf is this guy doing

  • Dwane Wade, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Jason Kidd, and Carmelo Anthony on the SAME TEAM!? Sweet jesus!

  • @imjtblanton Now add Blake Griffin OHH SHIT.

  • Angola were like WTF the USA are playing like hall of fame cheesers on 2k!!

  • Needs more Melo. Good mix though

  • lol Lebron was so desperate that he TRAVELLED all the way to China lol

  • the 2008 olympic was like the nba playing with the fans. with the exception of a few teams

  • lol I couldn`t decide who was more nigga USA or ANGOLA

  • lebrons face after his block haha

    

  • all-star game x10

  • despite teriible music this video is great

  • 2012 USA Olympic Team

    Rose, Kobe, LeBron, Durant, Howard

    Unstoppable

  • @Jabbawockee22 Paul over Rose

  • @deutschland08fn debatable

  • @Jabbawockee22 I agree, but I'd say LeBron would be at the 4 spot. He's got more of the build.

  • @Jabbawockee22 rose isnt worth shat. CP3 is so so much better. rose cant shoot to save himself from death...

  • @brandemonium5 First of all, learn how to type and spell. Second, he can't shoot to save himself from death? Yea, I guess that's why he won the MVP.

  • @Jabbawockee22 wheres dwade

  • @justinrocksit2 Kobe and LeBron are better...

  • how come monta ellis wasnt on the 2010 squad ...i wonder

  • kidd,prince,redd,and miller gone get replaced by drose,iggy,durantula,and steph curry who agrees

    

  • dang DWADE is a stealing machine!!

  • they would have beat the dream team

  • 2:39 that's one badass combo, DWill alleyoop to CP3

  • Comment removed

  • like BARCELONA FC

  • 4:40 why does the other team freak out?! lmfao

  • @jdude129

    In that play Bryant travelled and the Spanish bench went mad at the referee. All Spain did during that game was focusing on the refs calls rather than playing his game. Even today they blindly believe that they didn't get the Gold medal because of the referees being too biased towards the Americans... That reminds me a lot of Mou's Real Madrid. They never accept their own flaws, never give any credit to their opponent and never realize they're not the better team. That' s lame.

  • Did anyone else forget the Sonics used to be a team until 0:42?

  • @coffeyallday the sonics are the thunder idiot

  • The staredown after the block by LeBron at 3:35 is fucking intimidating.

  • and during the first minute of this vid you forgot to mention and show a few highlights of carlos boozer. and btw did michael redd really play for team usa

  • @therayman3

    I mentioned Boozer at 0:35, also yea Redd did play. You can check the whole roster in the info.

  • they seem like playing all star vs rookie game.....

  • bullies..

  • @reillander

    Yea, there's only one clip of him (I think) at 8:32 in the video making a layup (#8 on USA)

  • whos the guy dunking @6:36 he looks white

  • @Livinglifehigh

    Tayshaun Prince

  • @Livinglifehigh racists

  • Wade is definately the best SG in the league right now he so quick like a FLASH

  • Dear Cp3 go to the Magic! Howard needs u

  • it looks like they are having nothing but fun out there.

  • they are having fun

  • This team usa 2008 they don't need D-rose because he is a scorer, we all know that a true point guard has a big average in assist than his points...he can pass the ball well in his teammates....just like jason kidd, chris paul and derron williams...

  • @reillander Derrick rose stats ppg 25.0 apg 7.7 rpg 4.1 thats pretty good stats for a 23 year old.... He still have time to develop hes game..

  • @PointoK5

    You're looking at the good side of his stats bro. When you look at his bad stats, he's actually shooting 44%, attempting too many shots to average those points, and doesn't trust his teammates. He needs to be more of a team player and not a scorer.

  • @sactownism like i said he have time to develop hes game but duude!... In the NBA the best stats for PG field goal % is 51% (Tony Parker) Derrik Rose was the 14th best shooting point guard last season 44% isnt bad for a PG...

  • Comment removed

  • Future Usa Team:

    Guards: CP3, D.Will, Rose, Kobe, Wade, Kidd

    Forwards: Lebron, Bosh, Melo, Amare, Griffin

    Centers: Howard/ Bosh (Played C for team USA past 3 years),

  • 4 people who dislike are not proud of team usa...even i am a filipino, i am proud of this team usa 2008 because they are working with each other...100% teamwork...0% selfish.... :)

  • @reillander

    ye even kobe didnt ball hog like he normaly does hahahahaha

  • @lbj6mj23 yeah there were times when he wanted to... like against Argentina in the tourney of the americas... and team USA did not blew them out as much. lol.

  • I've never been so proud to be American as I am now.

  • 2012 London HA-HA

  • its hilarious how these guyz r usin these weakass moves against the best players in the world xD

  • are you kidding me...the guy in 3:23-3:27 want to 1on1 dwight howard....hahaha...such a fool...

  • Comment removed

  • jason kidd was good because they didnt wont another scorer, he was selected over drose because he can pass the ball real well to set lebron, kobe,carmelo up

  • @TheRacistApricot thats funny considering that rose was drafted in 2009

  • @TheRacistApricot

    Rose hadn't even played an NBA game yet though Kidd did start because he was a great point guard for the US team and had experience playing olympic basketball.

  • Yeah, they could bring 2 more people on court against this lineup and we'd still know it'd only be a contest for 2nd place.

  • G's Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Stephen Curry

    F's-C's LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Andre Iguodala.

    LaMarcus Aldridge, Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler

  • @sachsebaseball6 Stephan Fucking Curry and Derick Fucking Rose had not played in the NBA yet.

  • @Rinisification I was saying what I think the roster should look like in the next Olympics dumbass

  • @sachsebaseball6 No Bosh? Hes a veteran on the USA team, and played a key role in the past years

  • at 2:43 D-Wade says man im done with this game.

  • LEBRON IS A BEASTTT

  • realize every one on that olympic team is black...

    just sayn...

  • @brndnclarke1 i dont think jason kidd is black

  • It almost feels mean, like we are bullies.

    And it's in the olympics lol.

  • J Kidd must have had crazy amount of assists! Beijing was D-Wade's come back! BEASTIN'! The only team that actually tested them was Spain in the Final!

  • best mix on internett

  • poor germany lol. raped

  • @zacharge13

    I saw that score and I was liek "Am I reading it right?"

  • Rose, Cp3, D williams

    Kobe, Wade

    Lebron, Durant, Carmello

    Bosh, Amare, Griffin

    Howard

  • The USA team was just too strong for the rest of the world. I was in Beijing then and the Chinese actually thought they could beat the US. I like how the Chinese were pulverized eventually by the US.

  • Australia will destroy all European and South American teams by 2020.

  • @packer9 Team USA will destroy all competition in 2012, 2016, 2020, and so on.

  • great video..thnx for the upload

  • 3:07 lol

  • dwight was too strong for all the european centers he just out muscled them with ease besides marc gasol

  • they definitely went into the olympics knowing they would win. they're all so layed back and carefree

  • cool video horrible repetitive song tho =/

    

  • Blake Griffin isnt even on the national team roster.

    

  • Wats the song?

  • @Lorenshyne

    says it on the video (bottom left)

  • @Lorenshyne haha somebody didn't play nba live 09.

  • I wanted to see a vidoe which epitomizes the coherence and power of the United States. Its a great feeling watching this video, legendera. LeBron and Kobe on the same team? Are u kiddn me? Dwyane Wade sacrifcing making the team first coming from the bench and playing his best bball. LeBron being the leader of this team at 23??? He was the glue guy. Everyone played his role. Dwight - when i first saw him in 2002, i said to myself this kid gonna bring an olympic gold to us and thats what he did.

  • Only things that's going to change is that 2012 is going to have suffocating defense which is even more impossible to stop.They are going to run through every country in their path,and enojoy there medels in September 2012. also Thumbs up if you miss the NBA and wish there could be a game everyday.

  • @994FM...Doesnt Really Matter...They Still Won the Gold You Asshole....What are You Good at Besides Kissing Ass You Faggot
