At one point the become cocky ...thinking ok we can put some players together and go and win ! No chemistry no training no nothing while the rest of the world trained hard ...only the dream team can win with just showing up ! Not anymore coz look how many foreigners already play in the nba ? They learned there lesson and are still undefeated because they are simply to good ...they just needed a wake up call
@@mariovh true that, lithuania beat usa in 2004 in clutch...Not that it is surprising or anything, lithuania ranked top 3 in the world, but Sarunas Jesikevicius beat them by single hand in the 4th with a barrage of 3 pointers.
True ...at one point they even got beaten by Puerto Rico 😳 I have seen dream team 2 in Toronto and dream team 3 in Atlanta ...both live and it was fantastic...the teams they played where in awe...so the already won but those teams where also to strong ! Teams like lithuania , Argentina, Spain ...trained hard with the same players year inand out so they had automaticity , they knew eachother in and out ...the us didn’t had that coz they only rely on talent ...lucky for them they started that program with coach K and Colangelo ...and since than they only lost once to Greece ...
Kobe was the best, he is the best. There will never be a new Kobe Bryant. His respect for the game and for his rivals whoever they were, his dedication, his heart, his competitiveness, his passion, you will never be able to see that in anyone else today.
He was a big star already. He had the number 1 Jersey that sold there of all American players before then. They treated him like an ambassador while he was there in 08.
Lets be honest, USA not winning without Kobe that year. That’s fact! Ask the players and coaches how it was before Kobe started playing with them and after. Night and day.
yep. he also made them better players, as they saw how hard he worked, and realized they were lazy bums. lebron, wade and them became much better players from this
Y vaaaaaaa seguirrrrrrrrrr!!! Rest In Peace Ardilla!! I remember when I used to smoke weed on Thursdays night and watch Kobe play a laugh my ass watching him taking 10 shots straight without passing the ball to no one!! The best!!!!
I remember staying up late to watch one of these games. This team had a bunch of ballers. Him, Dwade and LeBron we're straight up beasts the whole time. Kobe was the leader tho.
Yet he was the best player on the Olympic team with Wade, Lebron, Melo, CP3 & JKidd. Most of those guys only owned bronze medals before they were blessed with the opportunity to run with Kobe Bean Bryant. That was Lebrons first time seeing what it takes to win. A year or 2 later he ran to Miami with Dwade...
2020 RIP KOBE :( The best star my eyes could see playing basketball.
2004, - Bronze
2008 - Gold
The Difference - Kobe

81 points can carry the USA win the final
I always said he was the reason they won gold. He had the opponent's scared of him and the crowd was his every night that Olympics!
The 2008 olympics were Kobe's Olympics lets be real
Best player in the world at this time.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Nope
"I don't get five championships here without him." - Kobe comment on MJ in the last dance documentary 🐐
RIP Kobe Bryant. Best NBA player of all time! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

사랑유라 can I watch you play?
사랑유라 hi ..
His dancing when he plays basketball... Graceful moves...
After this, He won 2 Championships..😁😁😁
Back to back
siika chicken Damn right

Kobe undefeated in 2 Olympics straight !!! No one in the world had a Kobe Stopper.
Kobe was the best, he is the best. There will never be a new Kobe Bryant. His respect for the game and for his rivals whoever they were, his dedication, his heart, his competitiveness, his passion, you will never be able to see that in anyone else today.
Rest in peace. Thank you for sharing your love of the game with us.
This is what made Kobe a big star in China.
He was a big star already. He had the number 1 Jersey that sold there of all American players before then. They treated him like an ambassador while he was there in 08.
Kobe is like a God in China before beijing olympics
Man, this is prime Kobe right here. Ice in his veins!!
Nah not ice, fire in his vein this ain’t dlo nonsense lol this is pure fire mamba mode activated
Vanished PWI Hold this L for thinking “ice in his veins” was something that DLo created...term has been around for centuries
I'm just here binge watching all of Kobe's videos..
Rip champ 🖤😔

Kobe from 08-2012 was the best version of any basketball player that I have ever seen!
Thank you MAMBA OUT 💛💜
Kobe was literally the king of basketball he was the uneducated best player at this point. It wasn't fair for anyone else vs him
Lets be honest, USA not winning without Kobe that year. That’s fact! Ask the players and coaches how it was before Kobe started playing with them and after. Night and day.

Rest easy Mamba. Heroes come and go but legends are forever!
I remember staying up late to watch one of these games. This team had a bunch of ballers. Him, Dwade and LeBron we're straight up beasts the whole time. Kobe was the leader tho.
He’s one of the greatest player n a legend in NBA history worth emul ating my iDOL the black Mamba K obe Bryant!!!
This was the "prime" Kobe and "prime" D-Wade as well. Rest In Paradise, Mamba and Mambacita as well as 7 others.
Miss you goat RIP
I miss the Mamba so much
We gonna miss him forever. T_T
Without Kobe LeBronze would get another bronze in Beijing.
Never heard LeBronze before. Nice originality!
Stop it!!!!
LeBronze 😂😂 gonna start using that 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When people argue LeBron is better than Kobe just watch these highlights LeBronzz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These are good plays, but Kobe's best highlights from 2008 Olympics are missing (eg - clutch plays in the gold medal game)
KOBE RIP .
LA IS HURTING 💔
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES..
Watching these highlights is pretty surreal man. Grasping for a time when we still had the G.L.O.A.T. Immortalized in glory.
Cannot believe he’s gone
Can’t lose when Kobe on the team
I really wish he woulda won the NBA championship too this year
I miss kobe a lot!! Hope nba live and nba 2k bring prime kobe to the game
Hollowell Dhar they got a 98 ovr Kobe but they disrespectful ass kept his same face scan and haircut
Nick Wright: We can argue that there isn’t a single year where Kobe was the best in the league.
Yet he was the best player on the Olympic team with Wade, Lebron, Melo, CP3 & JKidd. Most of those guys only owned bronze medals before they were blessed with the opportunity to run with Kobe Bean Bryant.
That was Lebrons first time seeing what it takes to win.
A year or 2 later he ran to Miami with Dwade...
I think he was the best player when he added a few pounds for more power inside.
Imagine someone been that delusional
perfect beat for these highlights
Song?
I miss you kobe!!
we miss you Kobe
Kobe!☝️we miss you GOAT! ✨
R.I.P Kobe Bryant 😭
Goat
