Top 5 games in this Olympics 1. USA - Serbia - Semi Final 2. USA - France - Final 3. Serbia - Australia - Quarter Final 4. France - Japan - Group stage 5. France - Germany - Semi-Final
Funny how a lot of people hate on France! we were in the final down 3pts at 2mn of the end of the fourth; Not Serbia Whom done a really great tournament by the way.
@@juliengrenier9974nobody hates France. The whole Europe was with France last night. It's just that you had a feeling that it wasn't possible during the match for them to win. Serbia actually could have won the semifinal. They both played great defence,but France didn't score at high percentage
@@Kate22178 France had many missed opportunities, of course, but with 2 minutes left, there was only a 3-point difference... If it weren't for an on-fire Steph Curry, we could have won. Honestly, I'm amazed by how our players never gave up
If it wasn’t for the Olympics I wouldn’t have ever found your guys channel. Awesome content, far better than most of the content here in America! Good luck in the future Basketnews 👍🏾👍🏾
All the stars and talent go back to the NBA and you have minor league basketball and a bunch of losers who follow it. Euro is for people who can't roster in NBA for the most part. Because they aren't good enough. It sucks
@@sixgunguerrilla nba is all about revenue and entertainment…one man show circus…and from next season a father son cheap reality show🤡 And don’t forget…those average Euroleague players made yall biting nails while watching Olympics…🤣
I agree,the final was really predictable. Even the bronze medal match was more interesting than the big final. It felt possible that USA could actually lose only in the semifinal. Glad they regrouped and won the bronze.
@@juliengrenier9974i don't think anyone is crying. It just felt more possible that Serbia could have actually done the job. All Europe wanted France to win,it could also be great to have 2 European teams in the final. Just saying what I think. I am European,it doesn't make sense to me that Europeans don't support the European team.
Yeah thanks but their time is up, Evan should go as well. France would have been better today if they choosed some of the U20 guys such as Perrin. Would have need his presence inside the paint today.
@@jessilicious243As an American, I can say France is going to be a tough team to beat in 2028. Wemby will be more experienced and skilful. Which is a scary thought considering his size.
Love this tournament so much. In 2028, it will be much better. Wemby will be an All NBA. Jokic is still there. SGA will be motivated. You have those top international picks this year as NBA studs. Basketball is no longer Team USA for sure gold and everyone else shooting for silver. Just sad that there will no longer be Lebron, Steph and KD in it.
True. 2028 , there will be an avalanche of international talent vs US. Serbia will still be in top shape. France will look even more impressive, Germany will also look better, Canada will be there too with all of their guys in prime shape. US roster will now have one hole to fill. Current talent is not very convincing as none of of the up-and-coming look as impressive as the ones now. Most likely around half of the roster will be gone, as the one continuing the legacy were second fiddle now. The other candidats to fill the spots are not the same calliber for now.
@@rosenvasilev4219we beat down everyone in the U18 FIBA by like 40 points every game. The US has a lot of young talent coming out that’ll be amazing for us.
@@xaviercopeland2789doesn’t mean much. That is surprisingly a pretty bad France U team for example. France U20 is ridiculously talented as example. Serbias U16 is ridiculous as well, you see some class is better as the other in every nation.
Proud of the French team. Loosing a close game in Final against a team shooting almost 50% from 3pts and loaded with individual talents is way more than what we could expected after group stage.
You wouldnt even made it out of the group without refs and lets not start talk about the quarter and semifinal even today the refs tried their best for france but against such a good team even the refs are not enough😄
I’m not a EuroLeague kinda a guy but I do watch your channel consistently for international tournaments and wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your analysis. Really amazing stuff.
I cannot be mad that we lost. I expected it. All I wanted was for us to not be embarrassed in this tournament and after hitting rock bottom, we went beyond what any reasonable French fan could have expected. We gave the US hell in this game. Kept it close for the most part, but never had the accuracy to take over. And then Steph killed us at the end. It was surreal to witness it, and as a Celtics fan, I had ptsd from 2022. We double teamed him, on a court with Durant, James, Davis and Booker... and he hit that. I turned to my father and said "What are you even supposed to do against that?" I still had moments I will cherish for the rest of my life, like the Yabusele dunk on LeBron. That was insane. Batum coming out of his final game for the French National team after giving his blood, sweat and tears one last time. A real captain to the end. Nando, who was a liability the whole tournament, rolled back the years to remind people why he is one of the greatest names in Les Bleus' history. Congrats USA, there's no shame in losing to the best after all. It was special to see the icons of the court one last time together.
Yes,true. Not an embarrassing loss shows how much progress your team has made. If only they could shoot better... see,you miss 7 free throws and you lose with 11 points of difference. If only they could shoot better. I always support the European team,still I knew the shooting had to be better. What a great year for Lessort. Won Euroleague with us and silver at the Olympics. Congratulations
Glad to have discovered your channel because of the Olympics. Love your breakdown and analysis of the games. Looking forward to your perspectives in the future as a window into international play.
These guys are the best! Thank you for the amazing coverage of the olympics, the world cup, the Euro league and the NBA. You do it all and better than any channel on RUclips. Keep up the great work
Sir Wardell: "Co-Captain, I would like to report that I have completed my calibrations" - Before the semi-finals. Serbia and France: "Fuk, why us why now?!"
I beg to differ with only one remark - Puerto Rico. Them guys were the biggest bust. When you come to think that they left out of Olympics one Italy, which is biggest nightmare for this team Serbia and Lithuania, while showing nothing on Olympics.
@@GuTOHGTthey should increase the olympic field to 16. 4 groups, top 2 adavnce to quarters. Could've had slovenia, latvia, lithuania, and turkey/argentina/italy.
The crazy thing is that this was more than winnable game for France. Too many unforced errors and missed free throws. But this makes the wait for Los Angeles 2028 more exciting!
Enjoy it as long as you can. This was the last Olympics with USA as clear favourite. Europe is strong as hell meanwhile. Next olympics without Curry, James and Durant you will win no Gold. Also Holiday with 38, Davis and also maybe white with 34 are too old in 2028 and also Embiid will probably not play. Europe and Canada get stronger and stronger. And without Curry, Durant and James you would have lost vs Serbia and France. This was the last match for team USA for the three best player of the century (James, Durant, Curry). The other talents for 2028 are not much better than the canadian or european ones.
@@sehu1291At worst will be a pretty good shoot blocker so he is definitely getting NBA minutes. Sarr is incredibly well fitting for FIBA he is huge great shoot blocker athleticism kinda like Wemby on the defensive part. Obviously Wemby on offense is a whole different beast. France got Perrin as well. They will be crazy 2028
The USA's main issue isn't really what talent they send. The NBA has rules that go against playing defense like bans on hand checking and the 3 second in the paint defense rule. The NBA wants more scoring but FIBA play actually favors real defense. This is why we were hesitant to attack the paint when there were bodies or zone defense. We also need to get guys playing together more frequentlly. The redeem team and dream team at least had the FIBA Americas to build chemistry.
Bro you can say that about any team. This is such a stupid thing to say. Hes on the team to help the team win. If Serbia didn’t have Jokic, they wouldn’t have won bronze If France didn’t have wemby, they wouldn’t have silver. Yes your star players act like stars for a reason.
@@jamesjones11301994 I hope you understand that the USA has a population of 330 mln people, NBA is calling themselves WORLD CHAMPIONS, basketball overall is much more popular than in other countries and the US media and players have so huge ego like they are better than everyone else, but without 1 man they would lose to Serbia and France...
I don’t think the final was as exciting as the semifinal apart from 4th quarter seeing Curry getting hot! I bet in a game Serbia vs France, Serbia would dominate. France to me was a bit disappointing throughout this competition. I was expecting more even though they managed to go to the finals…
France made great progress during the tournament. I don't think they could beat neither USA or Serbia,but they made a great effort as a team. It would have been more exciting to have a European final. Last night it felt like whatever France was doing,it wasn't possible to win due to the bad shooting. Serbia made me believe it was possible,much more convincing and ahead in score for 38 minutes. France had great defence but bad shooting percentage. Serbia had great defence,but also great shooting for 35 minutes I could say.
I really thought Curry was not fitting into team, maybe even getting old. But he's just a nice guy and let everybody else play until it was time to turn it on. Chef Curry cooks with a crockpot, no microwave bs
Is the MVP award given only to a player from gold win team? Or to player from any medalist winner? Or it should be given to a player that is 1st in the WHOLE tournament in total points, total assists, total rebounds, most double doubles, one triple double and best efficiency? (from official Olympic Fiba page) Because in that case, the true MVP is Nikola Jokic
In every tournament they take mvp from first 3 places. But LeFraud got it for not even being the best player in the tournament nor in the finals. JOKIC is leading in everything lol
I've been watching sports, mostly real football and basketball, for 30+ years, and the MVP usually goes to someone from the winning team. Rarely to someone from the runner-up team and I can't remember the last time someone from the teams below 2nd place won. But, we don't care much about individual awards in Europe, if at all, only the medals and good team placement count.
@@joriuxi said so because they usually give the MVP to the winning team,so it sounded kind of logical to me. Jokic is the best player of the tournament by far and an absolute genius. I was very sad after the semifinal,we Greeks always root for our Serbian brothers and I was hooked on my TV and believed that they could have done the job.
greatest tournament ever, but i had to look for random streams online, because in my country, there's 4 tv channels that had olympics and none of them actually broadcasted basketball until semis...
This olympic turnament prooved only one thing: the gap between usa basketball ( attention NOT nba basketball- usa team basketball) and " the rest of the world" as - very insulting in my opinion - refeared practically for fiba basket is officially and for goog elemenated. Period. Without 36 aged steph carry, 36 aged KD and 39 aged LeBron they would have already returned home...
@@solomonnorthup2168 The other countries' big 3 will still be there in 2028... Can't wait to see what France and Wembanyama will look like at that time
@@matyheodaunat2829 what is there not to understand? You only made it to the finals with help of refs and you guys are proud of it. Why are you proud of something like that i just dont get it. Maybe its just the unsporting french mentality🤷♂️
The Olympics being in LA in 2028 will be huge motivation for France to avenge this loss with a new talented roster potentially Traore, Maledon, Risacher, Sarr, Knicks kid, Wemby, Coulibaly, Yabusele( he'll be back -NBA), Dieng, possibly Essengue and the European players
This was the last Olympics with USA as clear favourite. Europe is strong as hell meanwhile. Next olympics without Curry, James and Durant you will win no Gold. Also Holiday with 38, Davis and also maybe white with 34 are too old in 2028 and also Embiid will probably not play. Europe and Canada get stronger and stronger.

@@McRagtimenot really it’s a cycle, in the 60s we lost gold to ussr and then we reloaded and won like 8 straight then the mid 90s everyone thought the same thing and the early 2000s then USA won and dominated like we always do
France squad for the 2025 Eurobasket: Nolan Traore, Sylvain Francisco, Elie Okobo Evan Fournier, Isaïa Cordinier, Nadir Hifi Zaccharie Risacher, Bilal Coulibaly Guershon Yabusele, Mathias Lessort Victor Wembanyama, Alex Sarr
I love Lessort. They way he was crying at the Euroleague final shows how much effort and heart puts into his game. And now he also has an Olympic medal. He couldn't have a better year.
That's what you say... I totally disagree with that statement. Teams like Germany and Canada have made a tournament under their capabilities, Serbia is the only team that keep their status after the FIBA World Cup 2023, and USA has won again with 3 players facing retirement as their major weapons... again i don't think at all that asseveration.
And talking about these Olympic Games are without question the worst that i've ever seen, and i'm watching these events since LA 1984. The worst organisation, the worst planned (we have already seen the implications of using the river Seine for some disciplines), according to the majority of athletes the worst Olympic Village, and not mentioning the awful and disrespectful opening "show".
@@AntonioJOrtizlol Can you show me the poll stating that according to the athletes it was the worst olympic village? It's not because you've seen 5 stories on Instagram that it represents the majority... As for the Seine, I don't think it was the best idea, but tbf Rio wasn't any better on that aspect and lots of tri athletes have said it themselves, all year long they swim in waters that are not great quality in different events... But same here, it's like the crazy echo chamber of social media nowadays... From my experience on the ground here, the vast majority of people (mostly foreigners) that I talked too were super happy about their experience here. Great atmosphere, amazing looking venues, tons of people (did you see the crowd on the bike race? it had never been seen in the Olympics).
@@thomaswargnier2562 No, I can't give you any poll but, again, you can trust in this poll (that could be also manipulated like everythig by the IOC) or you can trust in the athlethes' commentaries, and there aren't only 5 in social medias. In sport newspapers and magazines, in radio and television programmes,... And íf i have to decide between swimming in the Athlantic Coast of Rio or in the river that cross one of the biggest Metropolis of this World... no doubt about it, sorry. I guess that you're french and it's logical to defend your statements, even more if you have the opportunity to assist to some live disciplines. France have waited one century to celebrate another Olympic Games. But it's impossible to not face the results of some political decissions in this OG. Et cela étant dit, bonne chance pour la cérémonie de clôture!!!
Just to say,FIBA rules was always that teams from the same group can play only in final like Serbia and usa,that rule is changed in a last moment because of team usa. Point is,wherever you compete, there is always something rotten about it, like this time, let's not talk about doping and judges.Dont worry be hapy
The bronze 🏅 medal of Serbia looks somehow more golden the gold 🥇 medal of team USA! Greetings from Greece! We saw exactly what happened in the semifinals, without help of the referees, USA would not be in the final.
Put Lebron, KD, Curry, Embid, AD, and all the best players in the world on a team and who carries them to a win? STEPH CURRY. Every time. Without Steph, Team USA would have gotten blown out by Serbia. Without Steph, Team USA would've lost to France. Even on the best team in the world, it is STEPHEN CURRY that is the best player in the world. He isn't elite on defence? Sure, but he EASILY makes up for it by attracting defenders that give teammates open shots. He is the GOAT, period. There is not a single player you want more on a team than WARDELL STEPHEN CURRY. There will always be tall athletic players who can play great defense and go to the rim and dunk/layup. But there is no Steph Curry.
We saw KD and Book had the ball easy and clear but they know who needs to Cook and they rushed and played the infamous screen, go and assit for Chef Curry!!!!!
For me the dunk was not that special because he didnt contest it or try to block it, he just tried to take the charge. Was a great game overall! Gg to both teams
The best teams under fiba rulles: 1st 92 USA team 2nd 91 Yugoslavia team 3rd Ussr team 88 with Sabonis. On 4th many teams are equal. USA 96, Spain 2008, USA 2008, Yugoslavia 95, 2002. After that is this 2024 USA team Serbia 2024, also Argentina 2004 was great team..... As you see the best powerhoses based on medals also are: USA Serbia Lithuvania with Sssr teams Spain France. That is top 5 powerhouses in last 50 and in the next 50 years...
Nah USA Serbia better like this game was decent I'd. Prefer all teams playing aggressive with confidence. But all of the game was ran by USA all game. Like how's that was the best hell no. Serbia Vs USA was comebacks no mistakes
This game was shit honestly serbia vs usa was real finals.Sorry but it looked like usa felt they could win easily so they played without any intensity.France is at max 5th best team sorry but usa literally played bad game and still didn't for 1 sec feel threatened.
Totally agree, very bad game by both teams. France was never a match for usa, they are the worst team among the semifinalist. The fact was somewhat close in the end say a lot on how usa played this game.
Are you able to praise your team performance without talking about others teams? The real thing that we can collectively highlight is the fact that the Avengers claim that they will win by 40 every game, but they need money time in their last 2 games. European basketball (and Euroleague players) has shown their true level and that’s great for the game.
@@futurehofer1564 Hahaha cope, hold this L like you're desperately holding onto that Germany win. Everyone knows other countries don't have a chance when USA decides to be serious.
Great channel. I don't think the world has realized the greatness we have just seen. These 24 Olympics will impact future generations of players globally. Funny, how the opponents of Team USA never congratulate them during interviews, press conferences nor on social media. Instead, they talk about hypothetical scenarios, render excuses, and celebrate moral victories instead of facing the reality they were outplayed. By the time the next world cup rolls around, all these countries will have the same core players along with other levels of improvement. Meanwhile, Tean USA will have an entirely new roster and coaches. I hope the US forms a hybrid team that features American stars from Europe, the NBA and G league. Great job Team USA and the big 3. But Devin was the glue guy. Hey Grant Hill, you better take Atkinson away from France lol. USA 🇺🇸 🏅
...all they would have to do is establish a national team. C team guys would win if they practiced and scrimmaged together at least two weeks in the offseason instead of once every four years. C team guys would jump at the opportunity.
@@simonhollis5256 ...Curry and the refs? You up by 17 and you blame the refs? Come on dog, it's nothing worse than a sore loser and as always let's blame the refs. You and I know team USA is inevitable.
In 2028 Olympics Jason Tatum, Kevin Booker, Tyrese Haliburton, Bam Adebayo, Jalen Brunson could be back to represents the USA, hopefully they will better players
"US Basketball has no defense. Europe plays real basketball" "US Basketball is all about hero-ball and barely any teamwork" "European teams are actual teams that have played together" "Sending NBA superstars won't matter. The rest of the world already caught up" Then the US wins gold with a team they built almost from scratch AGAIN.
"Sending NBA superstars won't matter. The rest of the world already caught up" => Nobody said that (though the rest is still true). Everyone expected the USA to win the gold with all their stars, but we didn't expect the last games to be that tight. In 2028, with the 3 legends gone and the European teams stronger, we may witness something really... interesting.
@@McRagtime "Sending NBA superstars won't matter. The rest of the world already caught up" => Nobody said that >Use your eyes and ears (though the rest is still true) >Yet despite the euro f9gs hyping up their pristine defense and teamwork, they still can't beat a team the americans built mostly from scratch Everyone expected the USA to win the gold with all their stars, but we didn't expect the last games to be that tight. >This is funny. When the US FIBA 2023 team lost to GER by 2 points, to Latvia by 6 points, and to CAN by 9 points, everybody clowned on US basketball. But when Le Avengers 3-0'd Serbia and beat France by 11 points, you euro f9gs are highlighting how close the games were. In 2028, with the 3 legends gone and the European teams stronger, we may witness something really... interesting. >That's just pathetic. "Wait till your best are gone. We are totally gonna beat you then (maybe)"
serbia was our only competition. if you think USA was going as hard against france youre high. no one on france is anywhere as good as jokic. yall have the benefit of continuity and still cant beat superior athleticism and talent.
@@zenitsuthunder3946 bro there isn't ONE perimeter threat on the entire French roster. Bogdan Bogdanovich would have been their best player tonight. And Canada is quite frankly NOT LIKE US! 🇺🇲🇺🇸🎖️
The dream team was playing agaist part time players 😂 Half the teams they played I the Olympics had amateur players who were school teachers and stuff. Do some basic Google research
Why does actually nobody foul Curry before he goes for the 3pts? Make him hit 2 free throws is better then letting him go for a 3 point shoot out competition 4 times in a row .. just a tactical measure to stop his flow
I wonder how international teams would do with nba rules and referees. USA has to adjust their play style to play FIBA rules, while the other teams are more used to it.
Great point. But remember Jokic, Doncic, Wembaya. Strait out of Europe and wreaking havoc in the NBA. Just as there are many Americans in the Euroleague that are big stars there but unknown or "where are they now?" stateside.
Well, it would obviously be more challenging for them, but... FIBA basketball is the original style of the game, similar to how the NBA was 30-40 years ago. Nowadays, the NBA is more of a spectacle that showcases the best talent, many of whom are European
Les français vous donnent rendez-vous pour Los Angeles. On sera dangereux on a une nouvelle vague de joueurs talentueux qui arrive... Guershon sera la il est encore jeune. Il mériterait de revenir en nba
I thought Europeans said the USA basketball couldn't beat European teams anymore. What happened?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and that eurobasket is better than the NBA?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your team was pretty anxious when non NBA players from Serbia bombarded with 3 points.I bet fans was sweating too at the end if the 4th quarter.I really expected More from dream team which barely won against Serbia💪😎
USA steal the 4th quarter against Serbia... You can can clearly see Lebron talk to the referees and screaming at them at the end of the 3th quarter because they are loosing
Dream Team 92 were ambassadors of basketball and were behaving like that, compliant with olympic spirit. You can say that for this USA team, especially LeBron James with his aggression. His is not a goat but a bull, champion of basketball wrestling and also a champion of travelling. Refs were from USA friendly states. USA media is spreading stories of heroic players....
Funny thing is that LeCrytoReff James won MVP when clearly Steph won them the game and the semi too. I mean LeLookAtMySnickers James played well but not an MVP for me.
USA basketball survives off of talent. USA basketball aren’t a good “team” though. I hope Team USA starts sending A teams to the World Cup and plays friendlies and has camps and stuff. It’s always so evident that these guys just start playing together a month before the game.
@@spicykaraage641 I think this is the last time this will work though. Going forward the US needs to be a legitimate team. USA will always be good because of the talent but the days of a free gold are over.
Totally agree. They should start preparing in the summer of 2026 with a camp of 30 invited players to try out for the team. The main strength of USA basketball going forward will be their depth.
Brooo im from the Philippines and everyone is coping hard, excuses after excuses saying without steph they wouldn't win gold is ridiculous, he's a player from his home country just like any other player in the world, everyone just wants to see team USA lose🙄😮💨 is so sad and childish, just Congrats Team USA for their gold people and just move on sheesh.
From now on team USA should be called "the DRAMA team"! Lebron James going drama and complaining after every play. But no referee anyway daring to give him a technical.
Some nice basketball along the way here and there and some nice moments if we put aside anything that has to do with the organisers and their meddling with the actual basketball outcomes. Unfortunately, as a whole this made the tournament a bit of a sh1tshow really. Not the players' fault of course.
Therible what this game has turned into. A win depends on a player that is camping on a 3pt line... No flow, no chemistry... When you look at the highlights it's mostly one player going coast to coast. LeBron is forcing it like never before - him getting MVP is a farewall gift. This thing is over. Nobody wants to watch this sh*t anymore!

Serbia-USA true gold medal match and all time classic
I agree,the final was really predictable. Even the bronze medal match was more interesting than the big final. It felt possible that USA could actually lose only in the semifinal. Glad they regrouped and won the bronze.

Stop crying bro ! France USA was the real final. Point

Congratulations USA, as a French I am proud of Wemby . We know one day with him, we will win a Gold 🙌🏾🙏🏾.
Next olympics usa will be much much weaker so there is a legitimate chance.
@@jessilicious243As an American, I can say France is going to be a tough team to beat in 2028. Wemby will be more experienced and skilful. Which is a scary thought considering his size.
Love this tournament so much. In 2028, it will be much better. Wemby will be an All NBA. Jokic is still there. SGA will be motivated. You have those top international picks this year as NBA studs. Basketball is no longer Team USA for sure gold and everyone else shooting for silver. Just sad that there will no longer be Lebron, Steph and KD in it.
True. 2028 , there will be an avalanche of international talent vs US. Serbia will still be in top shape. France will look even more impressive, Germany will also look better, Canada will be there too with all of their guys in prime shape. US roster will now have one hole to fill. Current talent is not very convincing as none of of the up-and-coming look as impressive as the ones now.

Proud of the French team. Loosing a close game in Final against a team shooting almost 50% from 3pts and loaded with individual talents is way more than what we could expected after group stage.

I’m not a EuroLeague kinda a guy but I do watch your channel consistently for international tournaments and wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your analysis. Really amazing stuff.
I cannot be mad that we lost. I expected it. All I wanted was for us to not be embarrassed in this tournament and after hitting rock bottom, we went beyond what any reasonable French fan could have expected.
We gave the US hell in this game. Kept it close for the most part, but never had the accuracy to take over. And then Steph killed us at the end. It was surreal to witness it, and as a Celtics fan, I had ptsd from 2022. We double teamed him, on a court with Durant, James, Davis and Booker... and he hit that. I turned to my father and said "What are you even supposed to do against that?"
I still had moments I will cherish for the rest of my life, like the Yabusele dunk on LeBron. That was insane. Batum coming out of his final game for the French National team after giving his blood, sweat and tears one last time. A real captain to the end. Nando, who was a liability the whole tournament, rolled back the years to remind people why he is one of the greatest names in Les Bleus' history.
Congrats USA, there's no shame in losing to the best after all. It was special to see the icons of the court one last time together.
Yes,true. Not an embarrassing loss shows how much progress your team has made. If only they could shoot better... see,you miss 7 free throws and you lose with 11 points of difference. If only they could shoot better. I always support the European team,still I knew the shooting had to be better. What a great year for Lessort. Won Euroleague with us and silver at the Olympics. Congratulations
Glad to have discovered your channel because of the Olympics. Love your breakdown and analysis of the games. Looking forward to your perspectives in the future as a window into international play.
EuroBasket 2025: Serbia, Spain, Germany, France, Slovenia, Greece, Lithuania, Italy, Turkey, Latvia, Croatia... It's going to be unbelievable

I beg to differ with only one remark - Puerto Rico. Them guys were the biggest bust. When you come to think that they left out of Olympics one Italy, which is biggest nightmare for this team Serbia and Lithuania, while showing nothing on Olympics.

The crazy thing is that this was more than winnable game for France. Too many unforced errors and missed free throws. But this makes the wait for Los Angeles 2028 more exciting!
Enjoy it as long as you can. This was the last Olympics with USA as clear favourite. Europe is strong as hell meanwhile. Next olympics without Curry, James and Durant you will win no Gold. Also Holiday with 38, Davis and also maybe white with 34 are too old in 2028 and also Embiid will probably not play. Europe and Canada get stronger and stronger. And without Curry, Durant and James you would have lost vs Serbia and France. This was the last match for team USA for the three best player of the century (James, Durant, Curry). The other talents for 2028 are not much better than the canadian or european ones.

USMNT Basketball needs to change the model. They just come together a month before and spend most of the tournament figuring out how to play together.
They’ve won 5 straight gold medals….
The USA's main issue isn't really what talent they send. The NBA has rules that go against playing defense like bans on hand checking and the 3 second in the paint defense rule. The NBA wants more scoring but FIBA play actually favors real defense. This is why we were hesitant to attack the paint when there were bodies or zone defense.
We also need to get guys playing together more frequentlly. The redeem team and dream team at least had the FIBA Americas to build chemistry.
Without curry there would be no gold for USA
Good thing he’s on USA…
Bro you can say that about any team. This is such a stupid thing to say. Hes on the team to help the team win.
If Serbia didn’t have Jokic, they wouldn’t have won bronze

@@jamesjones11301994 I hope you understand that the USA has a population of 330 mln people, NBA is calling themselves WORLD CHAMPIONS, basketball overall is much more popular than in other countries and the US media and players have so huge ego like they are better than everyone else, but without 1 man they would lose to Serbia and France...
Team USA needs to send a top squad to the World Cup in 2 years as well. We need to see another one of these great tournaments as soon as possible.
I don’t think the final was as exciting as the semifinal apart from 4th quarter seeing Curry getting hot! I bet in a game Serbia vs France, Serbia would dominate. France to me was a bit disappointing throughout this competition. I was expecting more even though they managed to go to the finals…
France made great progress during the tournament. I don't think they could beat neither USA or Serbia,but they made a great effort as a team. It would have been more exciting to have a European final. Last night it felt like whatever France was doing,it wasn't possible to win due to the bad shooting. Serbia made me believe it was possible,much more convincing and ahead in score for 38 minutes. France had great defence but bad shooting percentage. Serbia had great defence,but also great shooting for 35 minutes I could say.
i am so grateful i watched every game of this tournament live. Thank you internet
I really thought Curry was not fitting into team, maybe even getting old. But he's just a nice guy and let everybody else play until it was time to turn it on. Chef Curry cooks with a crockpot, no microwave bs
Is the MVP award given only to a player from gold win team? Or to player from any medalist winner?
Or it should be given to a player that is 1st in the WHOLE tournament in total points, total assists, total rebounds, most double doubles, one triple double and best efficiency? (from official Olympic Fiba page)
Because in that case, the true MVP is Nikola Jokic
In every tournament they take mvp from first 3 places. But LeFraud got it for not even being the best player in the tournament nor in the finals. JOKIC is leading in everything lol
I think it comes ouy of the first 3 teams. To me it was for Jokic or Curry,I don't know who it was.
@@Kate22178Curry was shooting bricks and did absolutely nothing up until semi-finals. And you saying he had to be mvp 🤦♂️
I've been watching sports, mostly real football and basketball, for 30+ years, and the MVP usually goes to someone from the winning team. Rarely to someone from the runner-up team and I can't remember the last time someone from the teams below 2nd place won. But, we don't care much about individual awards in Europe, if at all, only the medals and good team placement count.
@@joriuxi said so because they usually give the MVP to the winning team,so it sounded kind of logical to me. Jokic is the best player of the tournament by far and an absolute genius. I was very sad after the semifinal,we Greeks always root for our Serbian brothers and I was hooked on my TV and believed that they could have done the job.
You guys have been on top of things - all tournament
Only issue is that Brooklyn nets hat- 😂😂
I think this is the first olimpic final where the US team has been matched physically. Amazing game.
Bruh just forgot Serbia the #2 team & would beat franch lol I'm usa & watched it's Serbia or Germany franch got lucky calls refs was awful
Curry came so clutch for the U.S
He change to God mode in the last minute
greatest tournament ever, but i had to look for random streams online, because in my country, there's 4 tv channels that had olympics and none of them actually broadcasted basketball until semis...
It was a sloppy game at times, but Curry was amazing the last few minutes.
It was less sloppy than the semifinal.
The last game was like Rocky IV - Apollo Creed (team France) vs Ivan Drago on steroids (team USA)
They played song Living in America after end of the game.

Nolan Traore, Sylvain Francisco, Elie Okobo
Evan Fournier, Isaïa Cordinier, Nadir Hifi
Zaccharie Risacher, Bilal Coulibaly
Guershon Yabusele, Mathias Lessort
Victor Wembanyama, Alex Sarr
I love Lessort. They way he was crying at the Euroleague final shows how much effort and heart puts into his game. And now he also has an Olympic medal. He couldn't have a better year.
The fact that the U.S would not even be on the podium if not for an inhuman shooter like Curry says alot about the state of the sport.
That's what you say... I totally disagree with that statement. Teams like Germany and Canada have made a tournament under their capabilities, Serbia is the only team that keep their status after the FIBA World Cup 2023, and USA has won again with 3 players facing retirement as their major weapons... again i don't think at all that asseveration.
And talking about these Olympic Games are without question the worst that i've ever seen, and i'm watching these events since LA 1984. The worst organisation, the worst planned (we have already seen the implications of using the river Seine for some disciplines), according to the majority of athletes the worst Olympic Village, and not mentioning the awful and disrespectful opening "show".
@@AntonioJOrtizlol
Can you show me the poll stating that according to the athletes it was the worst olympic village?
It's not because you've seen 5 stories on Instagram that it represents the majority...
As for the Seine, I don't think it was the best idea, but tbf Rio wasn't any better on that aspect and lots of tri athletes have said it themselves, all year long they swim in waters that are not great quality in different events... But same here, it's like the crazy echo chamber of social media nowadays...
From my experience on the ground here, the vast majority of people (mostly foreigners) that I talked too were super happy about their experience here.
Great atmosphere, amazing looking venues, tons of people (did you see the crowd on the bike race? it had never been seen in the Olympics).
@@thomaswargnier2562 No, I can't give you any poll but, again, you can trust in this poll (that could be also manipulated like everythig by the IOC) or you can trust in the athlethes' commentaries, and there aren't only 5 in social medias. In sport newspapers and magazines, in radio and television programmes,...
And íf i have to decide between swimming in the Athlantic Coast of Rio or in the river that cross one of the biggest Metropolis of this World... no doubt about it, sorry.
I guess that you're french and it's logical to defend your statements, even more if you have the opportunity to assist to some live disciplines. France have waited one century to celebrate another Olympic Games. But it's impossible to not face the results of some political decissions in this OG.
Et cela étant dit, bonne chance pour la cérémonie de clôture!!!
Just to say,FIBA rules was always that teams from the same group can play only in final like Serbia and usa,that rule is changed in a last moment because of team usa.
Point is,wherever you compete, there is always something rotten about it, like this time, let's not talk about doping and judges.Dont worry be hapy
Congrats to Serbia. The Real gold medalist. This final france vs usa was the final that refs wanted to see.
Save some salt for our oceans
moral victories lol

How can u title your video THIS, after the way it was officiated all tournament long
The bronze 🏅 medal of Serbia looks somehow more golden the gold 🥇 medal of team USA! Greetings from Greece! We saw exactly what happened in the semifinals, without help of the referees, USA would not be in the final.
Great performance by Curry. 👍
Yabusele dunked on a 50 year old man , no respect at all 😂 that was electric ⚡️ lebron haters gonna love that one 😂
Put Lebron, KD, Curry, Embid, AD, and all the best players in the world on a team and who carries them to a win? STEPH CURRY. Every time. Without Steph, Team USA would have gotten blown out by Serbia. Without Steph, Team USA would've lost to France. Even on the best team in the world, it is STEPHEN CURRY that is the best player in the world. He isn't elite on defence? Sure, but he EASILY makes up for it by attracting defenders that give teammates open shots. He is the GOAT, period. There is not a single player you want more on a team than WARDELL STEPHEN CURRY. There will always be tall athletic players who can play great defense and go to the rim and dunk/layup. But there is no Steph Curry.
yeah no player has ever individually impacted winning as much as Stephen Curry which is why he is my GOAT
Even when he isn't playing particularly well, he still makes it so much easier for others
He isn’t even the best point guard ever how is he the goat
Crazy performance
We saw KD and Book had the ball easy and clear but they know who needs to Cook and they rushed and played the infamous screen, go and assit for Chef Curry!!!!!
For me the dunk was not that special because he didnt contest it or try to block it, he just tried to take the charge. Was a great game overall! Gg to both teams
The best teams under fiba rulles:
1st 92 USA team
2nd 91 Yugoslavia team
3rd Ussr team 88 with Sabonis.
On 4th many teams are equal. USA 96, Spain 2008, USA 2008, Yugoslavia 95, 2002.
After that is this 2024 USA team Serbia 2024, also Argentina 2004 was great team.....
As you see the best powerhoses based on medals also are:
USA
Serbia
Lithuvania with Sssr teams
Spain
France.
That is top 5 powerhouses in last 50 and in the next 50 years...
Nah USA Serbia better like this game was decent I'd. Prefer all teams playing aggressive with confidence. But all of the game was ran by USA all game. Like how's that was the best hell no. Serbia Vs USA was comebacks no mistakes
This game was shit honestly serbia vs usa was real finals.Sorry but it looked like usa felt they could win easily so they played without any intensity.France is at max 5th best team sorry but usa literally played bad game and still didn't for 1 sec feel threatened.
Yes, and they were tired from playing their max against Serbia
Totally agree, very bad game by both teams. France was never a match for usa, they are the worst team among the semifinalist. The fact was somewhat close in the end say a lot on how usa played this game.
It was sloppy but exciting and competitive. I think "shit" is a bit harsh.
I think completely the opposite.. it is like ass everyone has one..
Are you able to praise your team performance without talking about others teams? The real thing that we can collectively highlight is the fact that the Avengers claim that they will win by 40 every game, but they need money time in their last 2 games. European basketball (and Euroleague players) has shown their true level and that’s great for the game.

Funny, how the opponents of Team USA never congratulate them during interviews, press conferences nor on social media.

@@spicykaraage641 I think this is the last time this will work though. Going forward the US needs to be a legitimate team. USA will always be good because of the talent but the days of a free gold are over.

@@StaySqueezy12did you see the usa under 17 team demolishing the world last month

Brooo im from the Philippines and everyone is coping hard, excuses after excuses saying without steph they wouldn't win gold is ridiculous, he's a player from his home country just like any other player in the world, everyone just wants to see team USA lose🙄😮💨 is so sad and childish, just Congrats Team USA for their gold people and just move on sheesh.
Eyyy
Americans don't respect other countries, why would we respect them.
From now on team USA should be called "the DRAMA team"! Lebron James going drama and complaining after every play. But no referee anyway daring to give him a technical.
Some nice basketball along the way here and there and some nice moments if we put aside anything that has to do with the organisers and their meddling with the actual basketball outcomes. Unfortunately, as a whole this made the tournament a bit of a sh1tshow really. Not the players' fault of course.
Therible what this game has turned into. A win depends on a player that is camping on a 3pt line... No flow, no chemistry... When you look at the highlights it's mostly one player going coast to coast. LeBron is forcing it like never before - him getting MVP is a farewall gift. This thing is over. Nobody wants to watch this sh*t anymore!
