2008 Olympics Gold-Medal Game: USA (118) vs. Spain(107)

By the way, and just to remind you all: God is imaginary.

Bogdan901 are you retard? dont you know that spain has won 2 silver medals one in los angeles, 1984 and the other one in beigin, 2009. also spain won gold medal in the last world championship, and let me refresh your little brain with the gold medal that spain won in the eurobasket like 2 weeks ago also the 6 silver medals, 2 bronze medals in the eurobasket , i dont want to continue with the other medals spain has like the ones spain won int the meditarrean games.

so dont be stupid

the 2004 olympic team had Odom,Marion,Boozer,Duncan,Jeff erson,Anthony(rookie), James(Rookie), Wade(Rookie), Iverson, Marbury, Okafor (straight from college) and 1 other guy that isnt worth remembering. The 2008 Olympic team had James, Anthony, Kobe, Kidd, Howard, Paul, Wade, Williams, Redd, Prince, Stoudemire, Boozer. The 2008 team was far superior for more reasons than just Kobe. The 2008 team also had a much different roster than the 2004 team. You stand corrected.

Not only that, we didn't even really trained the 2004 Olympic Basketball Team, the team was composed of All-Stars, but man, they were selected 2 weeks before Athens, there was no chemistry on the team and that created a lot of vulnerability for teams that are always playing together, our 2 exhibition games were Italy and Germany; Italy kicked USA's ass by three pointing like hell, and we beated Germany with a game-winning three at the buzzer by Iverson. International B-ball can't beat USA yet.

The 2004 olympic team was composed of all stars that were mostly 2nd and 3rd tier players. All the players that got heavy minutes in 2008 were 1st tier players.

Also in the 1998 World Championships it was a lockout, on which NBA Players couldn't play. I don't know how did this came to happen, but we claimed the bronze medal by beating Australia... of course, after a semifinal loss to Russia by 3 o 4 points or something I'm no sure. Team USA was composed of Euroleague American players, college players and D-League players. Even tough we lost on the semifinals, I'm pretty sure that if the Russians wouldn't score that long pass we would have won gold

Yeah... hands down at you...
I was gonna post exactly what you just said ;)

contrary to what all the commentators say, i know the USA could still blowout every team out of every game they play and walk away with gold medals. Spain played the best game they'll ever play and still lost by double digits.

not: they needed to shoot 60% to walk away.
Yes: they can do that and walk away with it.
