Full highlights from USA's game against Nigeria in the Men's Preliminary Round Group A from the Basketball Arena during the London 2012 Olympic Games on 3 August 2012. The game saw the USA team set a new Olympic record for most points scored in a game, as well as setting a new American record by making 29 three-point shots.
Basketball made its appearance at the Olympic Games in 1904 in St Louis as a demonstration sport, as the competition was held between only American teams and counted as an event of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU of the USA) Championships.
At the Games in 1936 in Berlin, basketball joined the Olympic programme, where it has remained to this day. Women's basketball debuted at the 1976 Games in Montreal. =========================================

Nigerian coach: "i dont know, just do anything"
USA coach: "i dont know, just do anything"
Haha😂😂😂😂
"Idk just shoot at will"
Mike was a bad coach but not THAT bad 😂
Lmao
Nigerian coach to their player: Your jobs today is to WATCH how Team USA play basketball. Forgot about the points, just watch and enjoy the game.
Usa: 50 points ahead
Nigeria: whai are you runninn
underrated
XD thats mad
🐐
LMAOOOO

Of course this is gonna be recommended at a time like this😂

Looks like Nigeria took offense to getting beat so bad.

You will be missed.
+Joe Lackey You mean James Har_en
+Joe Lackey it was then he decided that playing defense isn't worth it
+Joe Lackey That move though o_O
+Joe Lackey lol after that he learned how to split easy
I think nigeria kept his ankels
This happened when I was in high school and I remember watching this game over and over. Even now, every now and then I come back to watch it. Super nostalgic. Every one of these players is in a different place now; some won multiple championships, some haven't won championships, some are hated, some are retired, and Kobe has passed away. Yet I'll never forget how proud I was to say that this was our team. These guys gave me a lot of great memories and I'll never forget it.
W comment
I feel you 🙌🏻☺️
cute
This is an inside joke or something? There's no way beating Nigeria is an accomplishment for Americans. No way this result wasn't expected.
@@oldschoolpkdawg just because you are making a racist joke does not make it funny
Respect for Nigeria 🇳🇬 never giving up even though they were out scored by twice the points against a record setting team!
Or maybe real sports need to start implementing a gg call option kek
Didn't they beat yall recently?
I feel so bad for the Nigerian coach. In the lockerroom at half-time, "I'm sorry guys, I got nothin."
Well, the heavily favored Greek team, whom the Nigerians dumped on to advance against the US, would definitely disagree. At least the Nigerians had that triumph to enjoy, and they had every reason to be proud!
they must be honored to play with basketball legends. anyone would be if they're into basketball
hahahahahaha
Matt Harness I wish Raimo Summanen would’ve coached that team, lol
MUFC as long as American football and basketball exist in the states, there is little hope for soccer becoming the dominant sport in the nation
If you doubled Nigeria’s score they still would’ve lost by 10
That's crazy
Jacob Shafer yeah cause they’re basketball “court” is on the grass fields of Nigeria
Vignesh imagine thinking the Nigerian Olympic team trains on grass fields,, clueless
Amelia Darcy imagine thinking he was serious
@ricekrispyy it’s still not funny
And what's amazing is that this Nigerian team isn't exactly made up of scrubs either. Two of their starting five are NBA-caliber players and the majority of them play professionally in Europe. These guys would probably dominate a top-tier American college team, so that just puts into context just how ridiculously good Team USA is.
that usa team is literally a hall of fame lineup. KD, lebron, kobe, Westbrook, harden, etc all in the same team is just unfair haha
@@dude99844 yeah but olympics are a showcase of the best of the best
To be specific, two were first-round NBA draft picks, and two on the bench were second-round (only one got to play in the NBA). They're not just NBA-calibre - they were NBA players.
rather idiots, coach mostly!
@@dude99844 ITS THE OLYMPICS. we all have the same amount of hours in a day. Only the best of the best play in the Olympics. USA just so happens to be the best at basketball. Go cry about it
47:04 *DAYUMM*
😭😭😭y he do our boy Harden like that
And then it literally became Harden’s signature move lmao
They should’ve gave Nigeria an extra 3 points just for that.
@@MyThoughtzAndOpinionz true 😂
That's why Harden doesn't try as hard on defense anymore

@@catsdogsbaby8318 Slaves weren't bread selectively and even if they were strength isn't an evolutionary trait dude. Lets say a black person that descended from slavery works an office job 10 hrs. a day and eats McDonald and doesn't exercise, he'll probably be the opposite of athletic, but if the same person trained in a sports team then he would be strong. Acquired things like strength are not genetic although height is partly genetic.

The USA and basketball is like Jamaica and sprinting
Keith C. it's nothing like that. It's because of wealth and population. Jamaica is good at sprinting because of genetics.
Keith C. except usa can def hang right with jamaica in sprinting
dacosta smith we can compete with a lot of people in a lot of sports because of our immense population/wealth. international sports is more about economics than skill per capita.
***** You're an idiot. It's ALL about skill.. Money is just a HUGE part of sports. As far as them winning by a landslide, these are the best talents in the USA. Of course it's skill, you idiot.
lash beazer for one thing you read what i said wrong. i said it's more about economics than SKILL PER CAPITA. of course it is skill, duh. but having large wealth and population allows more potential for the collection of skill over a great area... which means these games are pointless for comparing skill per capita.
Nigeria has nothing to be ashamed of. They played their hearts outs and they played with pride they just weren't better on that day.
Sending love from the US!
40:20 Can't resist to do it in the olympics huh 😂😂😂

The girk is just a Crybaby
I keep seeing comments about how this is unfair and that the USA should use college kids instead. But this goes against the whole point of the olympics. Both teams dedicated their life and put in hundreds and hundreds of hours to get reach that skill level. In the end, USA is just the best at basketball...simple as that.
Most other teams don't even put half the amount of time in as the US
+Jared A bro the US doesn't put in as much time as most teams. theyre just that much better. regardless some of the games have been close and in 04 we lost
+Jared A doesn't matter. USA can get demolished in certain sports that Americans typically don't play or they usually lose in certain sports because it's not a typical American sport
Conner Needler you do realise all of ur athletes have came from Africa or Europe over the last 100-200 years right?
The Wandering Internet Wizard
If you multiply Nigeria's score by 2, the score was 146-156 so it was only a 10 point victory. Closer than you might think
to bad that's not reality
or 312 to 146 if you multiply both by two....
USA still win by more points than Nigeria scored that's pretty bad

This proves it's not black people that are good at basketball, but african-americans.

Being able to score 62 points on the best basketball team in the world isn’t anything to scoff at.
Unpopular opinion: The reason why the current USA team is struggling is because other countries have stepped up their games collectively in recent years.
This. Exactly.
And the best basketball players in US didn’t sign up
The main reason comes from the NBA getting more and more athletes from over seas so they won't compete on the American team.

We had 2 superteams worth of players on the US roster that year. Of course they won the gold medal that year. Hopefully we can get the gold again this year!
