  • type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5ft 5in guy dunking a 10ft hoop

  • Taye, Kobe and Wade already had rings

    That's 3, not 2

  • thank you for bringing the GOLD back Team USA and thank you kobe for saving our asses with the killer 4-point play :)

  • lol @ 1:02 D-Wade haha!

    USA > Everyone else

  • Bryant's decision whether to leave the NBA may be further swayed by the reception he received at the Olympic Games in Beijing. LeBron James and the other stars of the Redeem Team were relegated to a supporting role among the local fans because only one man grabbed the attention of the Chinese public.

  • Hmmmm..

    Im just curious what if these guys listed below have played in the 2008 Beijing Olympics to

    represent USA instead of the original roster in 2008 Beijing Olympics... What ya think???

    C-Kevin Garnett C-Tim Duncan PF-Chris Bosh

    PF-Elton Brand SF-Carmelo Anthony SF-Lebron James SG-Kobe Bryant SG-Paul Pierce

    PG-Chris Paul PG/SG-Dwayne Wade PG-Chauncey Billups SG-Ray Allen

    Head Coach- Phil Jackson Asst Coach- Mike Brown Asst Coach- Gregg Popovich

  • the players i think are fine but i dont think phil is the coach i want in the olympics, neither mike brown.

  • Why is it okay for blacks to represent this country with a ball in hand. However when it comes to a black man with a pen in hand trying to get the title USA President its like hell in high water to achive. Ain't shit change but the time.

  • its amazing reading comments like this because im sure this is how many people felt before the end of november.

  • "Understandably, we can't just blindly say "yes" because we haven't even seen a photo of the Park."

    Interesting point. I know that you're glad that we pulled it off. Obama 2008. Peace.

  • Sorry. O dud a cut & paste to bossyNadi but the statement that he made didn't show up. What showed up was something else that I had been working on

  • the reason for that is because blacks are monkey niggers who are only good at playing sports while the president needs a human with brains. The whiteness in Obama is the reason why hes president there will never be a real black president

  • Shut up

  • "Only two players on the American roster have won an NBA championship"

    - Kobe, Wade, Prince. I count 3

  • there's only one dream team, the one and only 1992 dream team, but this team is good, they're great on the fastbreak, very fast and dynamic team, hope they get the gold, and i hope they beat argentina on the way to the gold and by beat i meant KICK THEIR ASSES

  • how star studded can you get. goddamn what a team.

  • JD1985 is a total tool and never had a shot they represent our country in a sport we invented. I am of mixed races (white and black), but I sure don't complain when an all black team represents us in basketball it means they're the best we have. Nor do I complain when an all white team represents us for hockey because they're the best we have and more important THEY'RE AMERICAN CITIZENS! The best team though was the swim team it was mixed and they beat FRANCE'S ASS!

  • well spoken

  • to jd1985 the insecure racist and to sumaria the cry baby. loosen up

  • Hahaha Exile103! Remenber this: Spain wants to find USA. Not China. They are wishing it! Only a few days stay in order and the world will see! :)

  • Thank goodness for Dwayne Wade. My boy is ballin' bigtime, while Kobe OVERRATED Bryant can't hit the broad side of a barn. All he's hit so far have been dunks and a couple of short jumpers. Seems Kobe's still got a a hangover from being schooled in the Finals. He's like 1-20 on 3's so far in the games. He's the main reason they're 12-45 overall. Looks to me like Wade and Lebron are both better than him right now. Wade is perfect from the field in two games.

  • This team is very good, but the original Dream Team was better. That team won by an average of 43.8 per game and went undefeated. Plus, they could actually HIT 3's. Bird, Mullen, Jordan, Barkley and Stockton could fill it up from behind the arc. Barkley went 7-7, though Doug Collins obviously doesn't remember that. And to all you little boys who think the game is soooo much better now than "way back then", tell me why the stats for every US team since have fallen? TWIT!

  • of course Dream Team I is better, most of the players in that team are listed in the NBA's top 50 greatest players of all time. Plus, the greatest basketball player ever, MJ, was on that squad. Comparing Dream Team I to subsequent teams is just ridiculous. Though I will say Dream Team II was the most exciting of the Dream Team's to watch in my opinion. They just dunked on everbody with ease.

  • GOLD: USA

    SILVER: SPAIN

    BRONZE:CHINA

  • I'm sorry gays, but Anyone that knows something of basketball knows that this team cannot win opposite to Spain, and the world will see. Regards

  • Uhhhh, WRONG! Spain just had to go into ot AND have Yao foul out to beat a team that Team USA pummelled by 31 points! Pau Gasoft and his gasoft brother are gonna be pummelled, too!

  • No offense to the chinese but reedeem team is gonna kick their ass!

  • I'm proud of these guys for stepping up and working as a team to win gold for our Country. I wish them the best of luck!

  • It is the black team. if these dudes didnt know how to play basketball, theyd just be seen as just another "nigger" in America struggling for a job and trying not to get incarcerated by a system that gives you more time for "black" crime. But because they can win models they have some kind of value. This is comical. They should play for blacks first, US second.

  • no u

  • This is embarrassing. I don't feel like these people are representing America. I'd rather cheer for a team that actually looks and acts like me. I can sympathize with China having a Chinese team, not a Black team.

  • You are embarrasing to our coutry. All the black guys on this team were born in, and live in America. Who the fuck else should they be playing for - Africa? You're an ignorant fool.

  • I think you are a tool of the mass media. You were brought up to idolize gangstas and thugs in rap and sports as your heroes. I find it repugnant. As an athletic White person I don't identify with these people. When you see the Chinese or Russian teams, you see Chinese and Russian people. You don't see Africans playing for them, or hearing their mass media tell them that they are so inferior as a people that they must have a Black minority play sports for them. It is a disgusting display.

  • When millions of people watch a national sports team, a large part involves identifying with the players. It culimates into a national identity abroad (this team representing your nation and people). This team of Blacks does not represent my people or my country. They represent a subculture of jiving and hip hop, but you must think this is cool having musical heroes like Louis Armstrong instad of Mozart. I'm done discussing this with you.

  • No, you're not done yet. Obviously you wrongly assume that I am a black man. Well I am an athletic white person just like you (born in '85 too) - I play basketball, lacrosse, and soccer - but I'm am not a biased prick. As for being a "tool of the media and idolizing gangstas", I despise our mass marketing, advertising abomination that is American capitolism more than anyone. I hat that LeBron got $90 million for endorsing Nike. I hate how our socitey turns them into gods.

  • However, these men are the best American basketball players. Period. They're the ones living the American dream, not you, not me. So who the fuck are you to say they don't represent our nation? If you'd "rather cheer for a team that actually looks and acts like" you, I suggest you watch the special olympics and cheer for them, chump. Have a nice fucking day ;)

  • Don't argue with that prick. The beauty of America is that we have citizens who represent all of the cultures and ethnicities dwelling on our planet, and all of these ethnicities contribute to our greater American culture. This is what makes America unique and strong. If he doesn't like it, he needs to get the fuck out of the U.S.A. I don't know where he'd go though, because in this age of globalization, ethnicities and cultures are going to converge and meld.

  • right on. eventualy we'll all be one, mixed up race, with the exception of a few stubborn people like him.

  • Yeah, but we are already one race, the human race. There's no biological basis for race in humans, the concept of race came about in colonial times to keep poor, indentured servants who were black and white from banding together and overthrowing the rich elite(Google "Bacon's rebellion and race"). Race is purely a social construct.

  • PS - Louis Armstrong was a fantastic trumpet player. I play it too, and I love him.

  • By the way americans also known as the laughingstock of the world..mexicans are mexicans thats their nationality just because they "speak"(eh kinda)spanish doesnt mean they are "spanish" the Spanish are from Europe Spain got it dummies? are african americans "english people" just because they speak english? LOL see how ridiculous n clueless people you americans are? The Spanish/Spaniards discovered america,dont slander the Spanish nationality slanderin biatches

  • You're an idiot!! OXY MORON!

  • Truly,,, lemme give you an example,,, a mexican living in the US legally isn't a mexican anymore he's an american,,, who's talking about enlish people???,,, If a black person is raised and was born in mexico,,, he will be considered a Mexican,,, In Nationality..! the color of your skin doesn't tell much,,, but what you will be supporting with your blood and hearth!!!

  • Not everyone's a moron, but anyways a lot of the English language is latin based as well, and many of us know that. We've all come from different countries and evolved, but there are dumb people in every race.

  • USA basketball need to get their act together and bring back that gold or nothing. It is gold or nothing. We don't want silver, bronze, gold medal or no medal.! Boozer, Prince, Wade, Kidd, are going to make the difference. It's gold or no medal.

  • after losing the finals. Kobe will be very very motivated. i fear for those who will guard him

  • The US team isnt black asshole, they are American.

  • but in the last wolrd championship the usa team was missing very strong players...thyis year they will win for sure!!!

  • usa is not going to win,cos they will find SPAIN in the finals oh yeah!someone remember the last world championship?1ºSPAIN 2ºGREECE 3ºUSA.KOBE IS LIKE SPAIN THE BEST!!!!!!! OH YEAH BABY I LIKE IT YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • crack kills brain cell dumass

  • usa is ready to dominate baby!

  • It is an honor to be represented by such a great group of wellspoken,intelligent young men without a blemish on their honor. Personally, I am rooting for the Vatican's team.

  • 3 players have wl on a championship not 2

  • True... Dwyane, Kobe and Tayshaun. But hell, its the NYpost... no surprise. They didn't even spell Dwyane's name right.

  • soccer rocks!

  • usa wins every game by 30 points or more, the European teams should be proud if they lose less than that during this years Olympics. Go ahead and talk about the past, thats all you have left now.

  • not usa basketball, is african american basketball...is all because of black ppl, without black people, there is not dream team, the dream team would from african..congo or something

  • I like the name dream team its catchy - kobe bryant

    lol

  • coach k is the best at showing teamwork with a team. USA all the way. Cp3 should be at the point with d-will backing him up! kidds old. all he has is experence now.

  • i remember the dream team. jordan, magic, bird, barkley ect.. what a roster

  • where the hell is LEBRON JAMES???!!!!

  • someones gettin fired.. coz Bryant, Wade, and Prince have all won NBA championships. that makes 3.

  • lol ahah thats so true i was like wut abt tayshaun, he musta felt left out lmao

  • They meant Olympic Gold Medals

  • U.S. team finished 6th in 2002. In the '04 Olympics they took 3rd with the Bronze medal. In '06 they again took 3rd with a bronze medal in the World Championships, losing to Greece.

  • Lol we won your stupid team we will do it again.Greek team is the best

  • I agree. Your team has smarter players. They play team ball. U.S. has better athletes, but so what. They play stupid. U.S. will not win Gold in the Olympics.

  • NBA teams sent to Europe to compete have had their ass' handed to them recently. Europeans play smart, shoot well, play team ball. The U.S. team made of NBA players, run faster, jump higher, dunk, and suck. That's why in recent years they have lost to European teams.

  • R.I.P Phil Jackson (1734-2008)

  • I didn't know he was 274 yrs old.

  • tyyyyyyyyyo

  • more than just 2 people on the us team have won nba championships, kobe, dwayne, tayshaun. c'mon guys get your facts straight

  • this team is gonna be sick

  • Catchy name but it doesn't mean sh*t if we,the USA, don't come home with the gold this time!!

  • wow it is sooooooooooooooooo sad that america needs to get professional players to play for the olympics why not just put in the college players and let them earn it...is US that self conchinence of themselves jesus crap.

  • every country puts in professional players not just the US

  • but no country can compare to US NBA players so putting college players up there actaully means something.  i mean if we have pros there basically shows that USA is obesses with fuckin gold medals with college kids atleast they could earn it.

  • They've been losing with NBA players anyway. In 2002 at the World Championships, in the 2004 Olympics they took the bronze, and in 2006 they took the bronze losing to Greece.

  • why would we send amatures when everybody else sends professionals? thats just stupid. lebron and kobe earn it too. they worked hard their whole lives and became the great players they are today. just because we dominate, doesnt mean we dont earn it. why would we send a team made up of college players, and then play germany who has dirk? or argentina who has manu? that makes no sense. so because we send our best players, were selfish and self conchince?

  • go philippines!!!!

  • opps I didn't word that right I meant since you can more easily establish yourself in Europe when you play in america you get immediate respect by black players unlike white or other Americans since they aren't usually given the same opportunity.

  • Why is it that there are alot more white players in the NBA but, hardly any from America? I have a feeling it might be cause, blacks don't usually respect white players and are immediately made role playes unless they basically are already established and since in Europe it's all the same you get more opportunitys to prove yourself kinda a bit like reverse racism BTW I'm mixed white/hispanic with my hispanic side being indian/european/black/arab and it just seems to be this way I could be wrong.

  • team USA is gonna do to the other teams what kobe did to the girl in colorado

  • have consemptual sex and pay them off so that they dont sue us?

  • LOL somethin like that

  • Haha...exactly. The U.S. team consisting of NBA players have lost to European teams in recent years. And I see them losing again.

  • yea but then we just threw a team together that only practiced like 2 weeks together, now they sign on for 2 years at a time I believe. We will get the gold back even though the rest of the world has caught up in the sport of basketball.

  • I still think there will be some close games. U.S. should win it all but there are some teams that play better as a team but without thew athaletes thew U.S. has. Should be fun to watch.

  • GO Europe fuck those niggaz.

  • europe isnt a team dumbfuck

  • Go Iran!

  • wade has weird jaws :S

  • This will be a great Olympics in bball. USA will be a tough opponent this year for sure.

  • Dream team?? Hahaha... Spain waits my friends...

  • meh

  • They should have sent another player from dallas, but as kobe said and i quote "Its Ok"

  • Are there any white guys on the so called "dream team"...it's disgusting and called reverse discrimination. Last Fri. night I was witness to blacks badgering white girls to dance...using the ploy "your prejudice if you don't dance with me" trying to make the white girls feel guilty. I almost puked and then told the blacks to take no for an answer. When I ask a member of my own color to dance and she say's no I respect her wishes. Negros stick to your own race! Stop playing to the negro thing!

  • dude what does that have to do with basketball?

  • refimanloans, umm....jason kidd is white isn't he? and what white players do you want over any of the colored players?  the best players were chosen, regardless of race.

  • what the fuck?!?!?! how the fuck did boozer get so black?

  • lol, I noticed that too!

  • i am from greece.we won U.S.A in japan but now with the players which has got i think that will be not happen again.

  • your team beat the shitiest usa team ever put together.

    the best team was the ORIGINAL team.

    with kobe bryant and lebron james, those two players can win it by themselves.

    enjoy your victory while it lasted cause your team is about to get smoked.

  • yea

  • lol "It's ok. It's catchy, it rhymes."

  • i think someone like phil jackson or maybe....byron scott. should be coaching this team

  • very good video :).

  • Is Jay Z playing for the USA basketball team?

  • Lebron is Jay-Z's biatch lol..but go USA

  • I didnt realise the u.s.a was on the african continent.

  • Redeem Team? Wack, give it a month and they're will be a better name. Kobe, LBJ, D-Wade.. we WILL bring home the gold.  There is no doubt about it.

  • note to all NBA fans:Winning the gold medal is what validates you as a true WORLD CHAMPION,not winning the NBA Championship.

  • Pool's closed.

  • Aren't the Olympics supposed to be amateurs????

  • loool you got to be kidding me :D no man but there are some countries which are represented by amatures and not profetionals

  • lol... no, Pan-americans are supposed to be for amateurs, at least the US delegation just have sent amateurs to that competition, and guess who was the first? :P

  • Guess whose gonna be the leader in the olympics again? :P Of course USA.

  • Hmm, i wonder why, maybe it has something to do with the fact that you have one of the biggest population of any powerful developed country, I'd be suprised if you didn't win tbh.

  • Well if population meant gold medals, India would be always in the top 3, and they ain´t even close to it. :)

  • Probably because they're nowhere near as developed as the major powers, and basketball isn't even close to their national sport :P

  • "Only two players on the American roster have won nba champsionship" Not true. Don't forget Tayshaun Prince.

  • damn. . good point. . . i hope the people at the station got in the reporter ass for that crap

  • tay tay prince

  • i like guys

  • jun you are an IDIOT you really want rondo being the olympic team point guard?Besides garnett, there is not one person on the celtics tha deserves to be in the olypimcs And what if the lakers won?half of their team is international and would not be able to play for us. java,although spain is good, we saw gasol cant be a pysical presence down low..too soft, they may post a threat, but th usa basketball team is by far the best,only thing hurting is lack of big men, but dwight is a monster

  • Uhhhh.... I heard Dwight is a pot head. I dont like pot heads and I think he should be kicked off the team. I also heard he went out with a transvestite and didn't know it ROFL

  • thats a valid statement i completley agree with you on pot, but until he, or anyone for that matter, is caught and convicted doing it, they should not be punished on rumors.. tranvestite thngis funny, idk if true but hes still a great bbal player

  • all you guys that just posted those comments are FAGS

  • If the USA can't win at basketball they can't win at anything.

  • That's not true. Michael Phelps will kick everyone's ass in swimming and retain every possible gold medal and we look really good in Track/Field.

  • Why not just take the team that won the championship? Forcing a group of players that havn't played a whole season together to play as a team is a little retarded isn't it?

  • lj is so stupid i think that he has not brain i prefer my grandma for play basketball

  • i think that the american team of 2008 is a bad team and a shit cos spanish team has the gold nigga so spain is going to win stupids yankees suck.

  • we got 12+ olympic bball medals, and we always win the olympics u beaner. im sure all u spainiards are in love with OUR countrys players when they play in the nba. ooo and gasol is a pussy

  • paul pierce is gay

  • lebron is a g

  • kobe is goin to get off

  • hope u win....us basketball wont even win over european team..

  • If Kobe is the model for that team they'll lose just like the Lakers. They lost last time because they were nothing but a bunch of self absorbed children. Hopefully we can see a TEAM, not the players.....

  • You obviously dont watch much basketball. Just read propraganda.

  • You obviously support the Lakers and just read THEIR propaganda

  • fghdf mh n

  • This is a dumb question, but are the Olympics every four years or every year how does it work because I'm confused?

  • and that question mark made it even dumber sry lol

  • plain retarded american (Y)

  • I guess on the internet you can't ask a question without being called retarded/dumbass/idiot etc. and for the record I am not American. I just started really watching the Olympics and I thought it was like the world cup every four years but I'm sorry for asking.

  • i l0ve  k0bE!!!!

  • kobe is the greatest

  • boozer has no personality..

  • they didn't get gold in 04 because lack of players if t mac and kobe or o'neal and kg went that yr they would have won it trust me

  • go here

  • Kobe is a class act! Shaq is still a big kid, talking bout tell me how my ass taste? what a big fucking dummy!

  • los angeles laker hater against shaq.

    kobe how does shaq's ass taste?

  • shut it up lil boy!

  • It will be a blow out for any international team that faces USA. Most Internation players are soft. You will see

  • too much bullshit. usa ranking #6 in the world.

  • I wish USA and Spain in the final...

  • them gooks won't know what hit em

  • just becaus you suck dont hate basketball

  • lebronnnnnnnnnnnnn jjjjjjaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmess­sssssss is the only hope they have

  • If USA loses once in b-ball i will be surprised
