USA vs Spain Beijing 2008 - Gold Medal Game - 1st Half

[tonymontanadecoca]

American players were shit scared.

[imamthekingofthebanq]

I may be for team USA but I'm a big Ricky Rubio fan

[DaLilWun]

8:35 gtfo Prince!

[laurencelikestopgun]

I love how the Chinese fans were cheering for Team USA more.

[Nabil9404]

4:39 travel...

[DevilBadger25]

@Nabil9404 to someone ho doesn't know the rules yeah.

[Nabil9404]

@DevilBadger25 to someone who doesn't know basketball is international and not only american

[DevilBadger25]

@Nabil9404 I am very aware its international you troll. I am also aware that these were fiba refs and had they saw traveling they would have called it. God knows they called everything else. Weak fouls all game. It would all be good if you could all just admit the USA is a better team but your pride won't let you come to terms with reality and you make assinine excuses.We've heard it all bro. Population, Traveling, Luck, Doping, Racist comments about team "AFRICA". We are better deal with it!

[Nabil9404]

@DevilBadger25 refs can make mistakes and they made a mistake by not calling a travel even though they're fiba refs. And I did not talk about races or the level of the US team, USA is probably the best team in the world I've never denied it. I am not spanish or of spanish descent. I don't care. Don't talk about something I've never talked about men. I just talked about a travel and IT WAS DEFINITELY A TRAVEL.

[tswizzlefan4life1]

the other team really doesn't understand what a travel is

[XXAnDrEwIsCoOl]

cant wait for the 2012 olympics!

[enrimarvelman]

what a game it was

[lalkurt4321]

shut the comments down

[Funpants94]

I don't want to behave!

[TheLoyalhuman]

lol...kobe bryant and lebron james on the bench 3:55

[BoggleDongMongerFlog]

lol Spain is a bunch of pussies :)

[MaGiiK35]

@BoggleDongMongerFlog eso es lo que eres jugando baloncesto una pussy,pendejo de mierda!

[BoggleDongMongerFlog]

@MaGiiK35 Tío, vaya chupar una polla y deja de llorar porque su equipo es terrible

[MaGiiK35]

@BoggleDongMongerFlog eso lo puedes hacer tu y tu puta madre cabron.

[BoggleDongMongerFlog]

@MaGiiK35 You leave my mother out of this fucktard.

[DevilBadger25]

@MaGiiK35 you mad bro?

[MoncktonBunkum]

@DevilBadger25 I'd love to see Blake Griffin on that team. It'll be a dunk-a-thon.

[drouco1]

dude what a luxury to have dwade coming off the bench lol

[onewade]

look at how fast d wade is at 2:58

[0820Simon]

as a olympic's referee says some months later, the game was not fair because the referees allowed travelling for the american players during the olympics. Maybe if not, Spain could have won the final. Spain played very well, but it was too much advantage for the US because the travelling, I think. Spain was limitated by the travelling rule, but the US wasn't, and it is very difficult to defend a player who can commit travelling as US players did. I hope in London it will be fair.

[DevilBadger25]

@0820Simon Are you guys still whining about traveling 4 years later? Spain lost get over it. They were flopping all around the court in the 4th quarter and crying the whole game for calls. As for your statement about the ref I call BS unless you can provide legitimate proof of said statement. Had USA been traveling they would have been called for it all tournament. Why can't you all just admit the better team won?

[maidofmadness47]

international games are more physical dan the nba....

[666HeavyMetalist]

USA is the best, kudos to Spain for holding on the whole game though

and also wtf is up with howard?! his attitude and sportsmanship is shitty

[nanichick5]

@666HeavyMetalist Hey don't pick on Howard...at least Kobe helped Gasol up :)

[welitheskyonfire]

me during olympic games : Yeaaa we got LeBron, who you got??

me during every other basketball game: LeBron James is a bitch!!!

[NandoMonkey]

4:38 TRAVELING... we're playing European rules, you had better conditions in time (10 mins x quarter) and the 3-pointer from 6'25... WHY the refs allowed to travel EVERY time any american player took the ball? The funniest thing was that one of the refs (Lamonica) is a very popular Euroleague ref, one of the refs that more traveling violations see.. That was a fcking robbery, mates, but I accept the USA team was better that day. Get your ass prepared for London

[nanichick5]

@NandoMonkey They changed the rules for traveling...shut your trap

[DevilBadger25]

@NandoMonkey Have you seen the team USA is bringing to London? Its everyone else that had better get their asses prepared.

[gabepizza]

@NandoMonkey Fucking robbery?! The only reason the game was even close was because the refs gave Spain all the calls!

[Parrambusties]

Manos arriba, esto es un atraco!

[87riddler]

S T E P S

[PhurpleRalks]

2:45 look at the back of ricky rubio's jersey cuz putting your last name on your back is too mainstream

[PhurpleRalks]

Gasol gets it in 69% of the time... interesting

[MrReck33]

[TheEaglesfanindc]

[sloopjohnb324]

@1tgyji3 same here, they could start CP3, Kobe, Lebron, Blake Griffin, and Dwight Howard.

[unioncity]

I fuckin hate Gasol for this. Y can't he play this tough for the Lakers. I know its ur country and all but still!

[MrDavon13]

that nigga pulled pua gasol down at the tipp off

[NasHipHop1]

i wanna see turkey play if iverson would choose usa or turkey

[KanameKashita]

D-Wade mvp of the beijing olympics, kobe of course is the leader cause he is one of the veteran stars there but i think D-Wade should'v replaced lebron as the second leader cause they are both young but i think d-wade leads a team better than lebron

[hmarkow1]

@suckbloodtouchplease great video. thanks!

[Phrayze24]

This goes to show that if the US wants to win, they'll win. These spanish people gotta shave more often haha.

[Markhoppin]

8:37 Rudy absolutely shits on him

[JingleBerryz]

[ragethesystem91]

I wanna play ball now.

[4545als]

[iShooter95]

Great game thanks for the video!

[madude04]

[kfreshh16]

This year's USA team will be ridiculous. A mash up of the 2008 champs && players from the 2010 FIBA championship?? Crazyyyy. Bring it home!

[dmdpro5]

@kfreshh16 from the 2008 team micheal redd tayshon prince and boozer probaly will be taken off and derrick rose kevin durant and kevin love will be added

[AliZG94]

who knew that Ricky Rubio would end up playing in the NBA

[ChrisCBXDeuce]

Rudy wit that shake & bake.

[GRE8NESS1]

D-Wade 18 points in 8 minutes in the first half

[TheSpiota]

[DevilBadger25]

@TheSpiota awwww someone is a jealous hater.

[renzsy824]

[Valeron21V]

VIVA LA GENERACIÓN DE ORO DEL DEPORTE ESPAÑOL

[DevilBadger25]

@Valeron21V I guess you haven't seen who the USA is bringing huh?

[eggsdabomb]

this is the one game i actually cheer for lebron lol

[javyisthis300]

@eggsdabomb Sucks to be you

[eggsdabomb]

@javyisthis300 ok hows that...let me guess your a Miami heat fan

[javyisthis300]

@eggsdabomb I'm actually a fan of various teams. Got a prob?

[eggsdabomb]

@javyisthis300 nope. but i dont see why ur hatin on me

[javyisthis300]

@eggsdabomb Not hatin' just sayin'. Na' I mean?

[BrickGrease]

@eggsdabomb lol

[someweirdonamedJaime]

It was a great final, even though we lost, it was nice to be close to beat US (best team at playing basketball without any doubts). I guess americans also enjoyed a game like this, at least something different from the usual game on where they beat everyone by 30 or more points.

[leoisflyyy]

Wade on fire for the first half, Kobe fired up in the 2nd

[Love42Beasley8Rubio9]

Paul, Williams

Wade, Bryant

James, Durant, Anthony

Griffin, Love

Howard, Stoudemire

nobody stoppin^

[donjigga1]

@Love42Beasley8Rubio9 its 12 players you got 11 so ima add D.Rose

[Love42Beasley8Rubio9]

@donjigga1 good look

[MrGrady63]

spain is really good!

but USA is better (:

[MMAmachinhead92]

Man, Blake Friffin would own those unathletic tools easily. I can't believe the US team had a minor struggle. They're were a bunch of lazy asses who should've dunked on guys who were never dunked on before. Thought the Spanish team would probably dive.

[leoisflyyy]

@MMAmachinhead92 Your kidding right? All Blake can do is dunk. Can't even shoot a Mid-Ranger consistently. Hes lucky that he got CP3 now, and back then every one either sucked or was young and developing, so he always got the ball. Blake is NOT in the discussion for being the "Greatest".

[Tundys7]

buen partido ese si señor, a ver si jugamos mas derbis como este!

[MountaineerMadness08]

prince got raped anally by rudy

[Riles07]

[javyisthis300]

[superZvegetto]

[MountaineerMadness08]

@ 6:54... lebron had kobe on a 2-on-1...y not throw an alley 2 him??? its a close game, and momentum wuda shifted...but i guess it didn't matter.

[pardizzle21]

Shut the comments down then pussy...see if we give a fuck, we'll just watch a different vid then.

[suckbloodtouchplease]

@pardizzle21 I don't give a fuck about what video you or other people like you watch. I don't get paid for this.

[TheMasteratLink]

@suckbloodtouchplease lmao, why would it matter what people say on your videos?

[NasHipHop1]

@suckbloodtouchplease but you do know that you CAN get paid for this :/

[bilogmundo1]

Shoe...

[KHJ4D]

6:00...look at Lebron defense..amazing...

[Jamisabo8]

Rudy Fernandez 8:32 - 8:45 <3

[DoJoStan]

LOL at 8:49 "Toronto could a good team in the Eastern Conference this season."

Yeah, in your dreams.

We are the shittest team ever.

[11LukaszP]

Dwayne WADE!

[hyun0046]

Howards gotta do something about his elbowing when contending for the ball thats really annoying to watch

[Magyar9Andras]

2:58 nice photographer syncronization while he dunks :D

[TheAnalito]

steps steps steps steps steps...

[gabepizza]

@TheAnalito By steps you mean stepping all over Spain and then stepping to the gold medal podium then yes.

[Dpal93]

8:36 absolute facial

[DoesNotExist305]

Love the sound the net makes when you hit a shot. Why don't the ones at the park sound like this? They just go "plunk"

[noong1000]

team usa vs team jesus.

[Kiniaq77]

roundball rock!!! <3

[ultimatesupremedrago]

does anybody know what the spanish team was freaking out for at 4:39

?

[CraZzy3n3rGy]

@ultimatesupremedrago they think dwade traveled

[EasyToRuhMember]

@ultimatesupremedrago cuz they thought he traveled, and he didn't...idk what they were high on

[dperdi]

Best basket game i've ever seen.

[jarethmd]

grats to coach k on 903

[TooSiq]

dwight howard sucked this game

[mancro20]

I just wanna punch evry single one of those spanish players so ugly, sit the hell down its not like u guys got a chance.

[DarreNLeeTY]

pau gasol rock!



[TheYYellowmamba]

8:34 rudy fernandez is amazing

[drewdude2cool4uu]

@TheYYellowmamba D-Wade is even better

[halea41]

I think more than half of Americans were rooting for Spain, including me. Why would you root for a rapists and a bunch of thugs and prima donnas. Hope USA loses in the next Olympics.

[mancro20]

@halea41 Do u evn kno any of team usa's players? yur so ignorant

[KioBarret]

thanks bro :p



[NewBestStyle]

eu jogo basquete pena que no meu país , brasil ter um futuro nessa área é dificil mas sei la quem sabe minha sorte pode mudar , só fé em Deus me ajuda!

[yandyman15]

SUPER THANKS 4 THESE VIDEOS..SO AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE RESPECT 4 BOTH TEAMS!

[TeamIsOnMyBack]

BEHAVE YOURSELF GUYS. OR ELSE.

[suckbloodtouchplease]

@TeamIsOnMyBack Don't be a smartass. It's just i have better things to do that delete every day some comments because they are racist. It's easier for me to just shut it down.

[TeamIsOnMyBack]

@suckbloodtouchplease or maybe you could just not worry about racist comments because they have no significant value and are inevitable. racism on the internet is like little kids and an ice cream truck, once one kid comes, more follow. so yeah, and you didnt have to respond to this comment of all comments, seriously.

[suckbloodtouchplease]

@TeamIsOnMyBack I don't tolerate racism, i just don't. And maybe you shouldn't post that stupid comment in the first place, you could tried to talk about basketball.

[TeamIsOnMyBack]

@suckbloodtouchplease when did i ever say i tolerated racism, fool? i said racism on the internet is inevitable so you shouldn't go out of your way to control it. also youtube is a haven for pointless comments, like mine.

[suckbloodtouchplease]

@TeamIsOnMyBack I didn't said that, i said I don't. Nevertheless, i am not willing to waste time on those comments, i won't any more time with you.

[jimob]

@suckbloodtouchplease You're honestly a bitch. Shut down the comments or quit whining about it.

[mandypants02]

@suckbloodtouchplease dont do that...seriously it ruins the video man

[mylif3styl3]

The backcourt call was actually a bad call, a player has to be PAST the halfcourt line, if you're on the line you can go back

[MrGabe305]

that was some nasty ass team led in scoring by none other than d the flash waaaaaaade

[swali555]

USA VS THE GASOL BROS

[gmwphnehn]

no bosh. god, bosh plays too soft... if u want a soft pf, duncan is way better. better shot, better rebounder. but i guess he's too old>< DIRK WOuLD BE GREAT. too bad he's nazi.

[Badbert0]

Kevin Love over Aldridge and Bosh. Team USA needs a stretch big for international play. Plus Love rebounds better than those 2.

[AliBaba51341]

PG: Chris Paul, D. Rose

SG: Kobe, D. Wade

SF: LeBron, Carmelo, Durant

PF: Griffin, Fish Bosh

C: D. Howard, Amar'e, Shaq (If he wasn't retired)

[donjigga1]

@gabepizza griffin has been added to the roster have you bean reading recent articles from coach k and jerry colangelo?

[IhateMEXILANA]

my grandma thought this was

Africa Vs Spain

hahaha oh nana! u keep me in stiches ^.^

[Diehardclevelandfan]

"Toronto could be a good team in the East..." Good one Mike Breen.

[MoPete15]

Rubio is going to be legit. Look at composed he was playing against NBA superstars, at age 18.

[TheLlamaWhisperers]

@MoPete15 only if he can learn how to shoot

[MoPete15]

@TheLlamaWhisperers Guys like Rondo proved you can impact the game without being a good shooter..

[gabepizza]

@MoPete15 Yeah but he hasn't improved at all in the past three years. He's not even a star in Euroleague so how can he be good in the NBA?

[rambomoore9999]

refs giving spain a chance. horrible calls

[yandyman15]

@rambomoore9999  SUPER AGREE!

[rambomoore9999]

the refs tried to make this one close. they (USA & SPAIN) played 2 weeks earlier and USA blitzed the spanish ass holes by 37!!! in a 40 minute game??? talk about a rape

[HPhenomenal]

spanish always fucking complaining...how is that a travel you stupid bitches?

[ultimatesupremedrago]

@HPhenomenal wtf lol

[yandyman15]

@HPhenomenal agree LMAO!

[donjigga1]

Greece were good in 2006 but america did not have its best players. If america had its best players in 2002/2004 and the 2006 the US would have won. Guys like Kobe/Shaq/Duncan/Garnett missed some of those competitions.

[YIANNIS2003]

No European team has ever played better against the USA than Greece in the 2006 World Cup. That match was even better than this one.
