Team USA faced Spain in the Basketball final of the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing. It promised to be an incredibly exciting match, and after "only" grabbing the bronze medal in 2004, the "Redeem Team" had again the chance to claim the gold medal for the USA.

I just cant imagine playing against this prime kobe, melo, lebron, dwight, dwade etc.
@Tom Nguyen why do you think hes playing in an Olympic game you idiot.. and hit multiple 3's.
wheres kd
@@jeffrollo8046 he was still a sophomore bruh
Wow the disrespect to melo, he's a killer in that day even he's earlier days in knicks he's cold blooded
@@smugmegumin8095 yeah, 33 point in 1 quarter is something
Kobe just takes over that 4th when they need him most, that's who he was clutch, reliable, and always in that mamba mentality...RIP Kobe thanks for making awesome memories that I can look back on
He dissapeared in most of the important playoff games with Lakers.

Lebron was not in prime
@@Eb-dw3tq he def was
And LeBron still 23years old

This was a scary USA team. A lot of goats in their primes. Respect to Spain for making it competitive sheeshh 🔥🔥🔥
I think that was spain gold generation too
CP3 wasn’t even a starter on that team.
Yeah, definitely. Kobe, Lebron, Melo, Wade, Dwight and CP3 all in their prime on the same team is insane. Spain was no joke.
Considering Spain playing against an all star team in their own game, that is very impressive to even come this close.
23:10min it was pretty close 104-108 with 2:25 to go. Spain did put up a fight.
I think that team was spain gold generation too
Kobe literally saved Team USA, they woulda settled for another runner-up finish for the 3rd straight major tournament had Kobe not played.
@@jan279 *4th straight major tournament
If Rudy didnt foul out they might have won NGL
Can’t deny Spain was playing very well
in my opinion best national team Europe has ever produced, but the US eats in another table, semi gods of basketball, so we are just honored to be the first team that has been able to put up a fight to NBA finest, thats all you can aspire really, winning is a fantasy
Pat O'Callahan I mean, we lost in 2004. We aren’t entirely unbeatable. This team, however, was never going to lose.
The center is good
of course since majority of that team has played together for years so their chemistry is top notch
You are absolutely right, the United States has another level for all basketball teams, but Spain in Europe is the best and what makes Spain good is that the Spanish always have the best in almost all sports (motorcycles, soccer, basketball, tennis...)
The fact that Ricky Rubio was my age playing against these legends, blows my mind
He was meant to be one of the greats. That's why he was drafted in front of Curry
@@silewis9396and Minnesota stunted his growth. He showed what he could do in the playoffs before his injury
One of the greatest basketball games ever played.
Give my man Dwade some appreciation. He's on fire the whole game and was also clutch. Can't stop Prime Wade
Ethan Hawke your man????
@@LeisureSuitLarry_ don't have anything else to say huh?
Ethan Hawke lol another keyboard warrior virgin...
Prime D-Wade sooooo underrated
I rate "Your Man" 9
That killer mentality and determination of Kobe is unreal,the world will forever miss you Bean,RIP
That's how far international basketball has came, this Spain's team was years ahead of anything the original Dream team faced, it literally took the US assembling the Avengers to secure a gold medal.....and keep in mind this was 2008.
Facts
Dream Team had ZERO competition
Bruh Dream Team was like the Justice League , they were to dominate and leave no doubt
Dude your comment is so misguided that I'm going to really need to dig into my vocabulary to be able to respond in kind. The original Dream team had the best of the best with MJ, Magic and Bird being 3 of the 11! Hall of Fame players that made up that team. For you not to have a clue as to their DOMINANCE means either you have no clue about their individual and/or team accolades or you just have no clue about basketball, Lol. Sure INT ball has definitely matured, but really dude let me bring this to a close so you will never face this sort of public embarrassment again. The Redeem team with those great players, Kobe, Wade and Lefake, STILL after beating those INT teams that you revere, would get brutally stumped by the Dream team, facts!
This USA team will crush the original DT with a 40 point margin
19:55 Best play of the game!

Ohh my god just think rubio was 17 years old and played with these guys in an olympic final..
yeah ik insane.
and apart of that he´s trash
alejandro What have you done at 17 years old? Probably nothing compared to Rubio....
Is ur name a remix of Giannis’
Dennis Fredriksson dont be like a child what i have done at 17 its not important the fact is that he havent progress nothing since that (im spanish sorry for my english dude haha)
Kobe's 3pointer, fouling out Fernandez and shushing the crowd, still gives me chills. It was the first highlight I thought of after he died. I remember this game so well.
one of the first games i thought of as well. He just has such a killer instinct. Seriously cant teach that!
So glad I set my clock to wake me up in the middle of the night. Just in time to see the heroics by Kobe.
Rudy Fernandez can't guard Kobe.. No one in the spain roster to sum It up..
Imagine time traveling and you see this comment
Time ?
This game and the 2012 rematch are two of the best games ever. Spain was so good, they almost pulled off the win both times - multiple comebacks, etc. Awesome basketball. And Kobe was just clutch as always
我也这么觉得❤
Kd and kobe
Only that Spain could have challenged that Dream Team 2.0. Probably the best Olympic basketball match in history.
2016 usa team>
They kept it within single digits....against this team. That's f'n impressive.
Yeah, kind of impressive...but also playing by Spain/Euroleague/FIBA rules....
Plus Kobe and Bron both in foul trouble early.
Not really. The USA did not play any defense at all! A very lazy half hearted effort if you ask me. This USA team would have had their doors blown off by the 1992 USA team! Not even close!
I bet they weren't trying too hard to be fair
Shoegum Yooo! This DT didn't have the "mindset" of the 1st DT. A 17 yr old, Rudy wouldn't have gotten off like that and the score wouldn't be what it was. Trust and believe!
This spain team was absolutely insane. They are playing against basically the prime big 3 Heat, Kobe in his prime, CP3 in his prime in a close game down to the end. RIP Kobe
Amen 🙏 🙏
Dont forget the Prime Dwight
Prime melo!
LEGENDS
all prime 🤣
11:18 this was insaneeeeee
I can't deny that Spain is 2nd strongest team in the world
This was the REDEEM TEAM. Kobe made a promise that they would bring back the glory for the team USA. Then, the US got the gold medal for this tournament with the heroic game of the Black Mamba in the 4th quarter
Clutch Mamba
这阵容拿冠军不奇怪，倒是对面的那只西班牙好厉害，能跟全是顶级球星的球队只有几分分差
@@DTB1995 yes indeed sir! He was solid in the clutch time and in his eyes that he wanted the ball on his hands and the rest we knew what happened, that was just a simply a Kobe Bryant show. He was a pure scorer and no one in that era could beat the Prime Black Mamba one on one.

Gonna miss you DWade. Thanks for the memories. What a team! Wow.
This Spain team is crazy stacked with talents. But Kobe is just a GOAT that Mamba mode in 4th quarter is just insane
Rudy Fernandez would thrive in today's NBA.
He's got handles.
He can shoot threes off the dribble, on the spot, and catch n shoot.
He can drive in the paint and/or dunk.
And he can defend.
It's a shame he wasn't utilized properly in his prime in the NBA.

This is the best Olympic basketball game I've ever watched because it's the only time I ever saw a USA team have to put in work in order to beat their opponent. It was exciting in the 4th quarter which has been rare since the USA started sending NBA players. I'm still waiting for the day when other countries can fill their entire roster with NBA players.
Spain was hooping 😭

@@Yungtisa fact. Team USA is just so talented that they bust everyone's asses. I wonder what would they look like if they have elite chemistry.
@@Yungtisa idiot usa teamamtes have the best chemistry....cant u see their ball movement
Robert Phillips the original dream team needed a lot of chemistry before the olympics. Their coach said while practicing against a college team, they were very bad with each other. And got beaten very badly as well. You need chemistry between the greatest players or else they’ll just lose and lose. This was from the Dream Team Documentary
"Body's flying everywhere, no call...😤." at this point is when I realised how much heat Spain had brought into this game playing against a whole All Star team. My Best Spain National Bball team ever💥
This is the most professional basketball on Earth. You cannot find higher level than this.
kobe's clutch three + his celebration is iconic.

rematch for the Gold Medal tomrrow!!
USA won the gold medal 🤔
I'm 5y younger than Rubio, so 13 when this game was played. As a spanish teen I didnt realize at the time what an exceptional generation we had. From a 40M people country we had a basketball team that dominated european basketball and went one to one with ond of the all time dream teams. We also had one of the most dominant and top 3 of all time football selection, stacked with elite players in all positions. At that time it was also golden era for Alonso. And the one that is for me the best spanish sportman ever, Don Rafael Nadal, that was winning grand slams back to back and arguably best tennis player of all time. Just amazing
I'm sure this will get a lot of play after Kobe's death. I remember this game well, and the most memorable thing about it was that the U.S. would have suffered one of the most embarrassing losses in the history of basketball if not for the clutch play of Kobe. This was probably the 2nd or 3rd best team that has ever been assembled (anywhere), in terms of the talent level. Kobe saved our asses!!!
That's why they started the program, so they don't get embarrassed again.
2nd best for sure, nothing beats the dream team. Imagine prime Dwight, Tayshaun and Kid were reserves.
Embarassed? Man Spain was great. If u would ve lost It would ve be deserved. I think
Sergio Torres Diaz de Cevallos not in America we are basketball gods👑
@@sergiotorresdiazdecevallos5657 Look at who was on that U.S. basketball team. It would have gone down as the most embarrassing loss in the history of the U.S. basketball team, and probably would have never been topped.
Dwade was something else back then and was the MVP of that team. Combination of strength speed agility and finesse. He had a solid jumpshot and nobody could guard him at all. This was probably the best version of him, and his best individual year in the Nba season was that upcoming season coming back from injury. People thought he wasn't going to be the same but he came back even better and stronger. Unstoppable on offence and a defensive monster. One of the greatest players to ever play this game.
Hes indeed have great shot but his range was not that far mid range is his spot
its so dumb when you hear the idiot sports media say star players cant coexist and there is not enough balls etc.
Bankai Master 💯💯💯💯💯💯💥
@Michael Oates///The truth is he could had better career than Kobe even LJ. He was injured in game 7 in 05, comes back and annihilates everyone in 06 playoffs. Only at the height of his peak to dislocate his shoulder. Had he not been injured those 2 pivotal years he probably would of been a 2-3 time champion. Spurs played very similar to Mavs a team he just dismantled he had great chance to either in 05 or 07.///
Could have, would have, should have....all empty talk.
Wade was great, no doubt. But LBJ will go down as unambiguously the better player, and Kobe (to a lesser degree) as well. Wade's only championship is marred by the fact that the referees gave him every call. Besides that, he's won virtually nothing without Lebron leading.
Exactly bro, he's side to side lateral movement is more killer than the typical euro step + the speed from 0 to 100 in split sec. Top 3 SG of all time (Jordan,Kobe,Wade)
2008 Spain is the best Olympic team. If not for Kobe and DWade the US would lose in this game.
11:38 Ankles SNAPPED!
18:40 never gets old..

If there was "3 seconds" in this game, which I'm not sure of the rules, Dwight Howard was in the lane for literally 8 seconds. But anyway RIP Kobe.
2nd GOAT... Way ahead of Lebrun!
Great game from Spain. What a great team! Great victory for the USA. This was a fantastic olympic final. 👍🏻 Thanks for posting.
D Wade in his prime was so good defensively. He was he unsung hero of this 2008 team.

One of my favorite Kobe games ever, alongside the 81 pt game and his final game. RIP Mamba, I still can't believe you're gone.
The way Kobe congratulated the whole Spain team after the game, class sportsmanship
2008 Kobe was the most complete version of himself. Athletic, yet still so skillful.
Personally, I think it was 05-06. That's when his athletic ability was paired best with his skill. No surprised that's when he averaged 35. By 2008, Kobe lost a step in athletic ability. Obviously, still in his prime at that point tho.
Wade was the undisputed MVP of that entire tournament, from the bench!
Nihle Igleca he looked like the best player in the world
Papaloukas a player from Europe in the Euroleage (the European championship of best teams) was for 2,3 years MVP and he was always coming from the bench. He was the MVP of CSKA Moscow that was coming from the bench.
He was the best player.
Kobe the closer
