It's like semis or finals how they played the game. U can see the hunger in Team USA. Greece is a tough opponent. Great game! I really enjoyed watching the Olympics basketball games with Kobe in it. Missing Black Mamba everyday. Thanks for uploading this
Thank you so much for this video... I have waited for a long time to finally see the USA redeem team vs Greece 2008 Olympics,...Greece upset the US in 2006 worlds, and now its payback time...I could see in Lebron, Melo, wade and Kobe eyes---they want revenge...Awesome game...
Wade s actually the focal point of the game specially in the early run. The way he passed the ball automatically convert into points. He's so underated but his actually the unsang hero of USA beang the leading scorer coming of the bench. So underated
Dude has ridicolous explosiveness, acceleration and body control from seemingly a standstill position. Just floats around the entire court while everyone else looks stuck in mud. In 2005 and 2006 he already looked better than Kobe unless his jumpshot was completely off. Here he looks better than Kobe too and this is coming back from knee surgery and shoulder injury. In 2009, 2010, 2011 he looked better than Kobe too. These years (2005-2011) are all considered Kobe's best years and Wade just looks like a better player when uninjured in most if not all of them.
Sorry son. All of it wouldn't be possible without Kobe. The 2nd quarter was the tell tale. Wade and Kobe explosiveness and active hands on the ball. Without Kobe Wade would've just been hustling for nothing. Kobe and Wade connection is would of been unfair in the NBA. Bosh was a unsung hero and so was D Will onball defense. This how you spot a hater in the comment above: Kobe, Kobe, Kobe 🤣🤣That hater named 2009, 2010, 2011. Literally all the years Kobe went back to back to back. And listen to this big hater. He did it all without a superteam 🤣😂😂🤣
@@zennihilator3724 You one of the biggest hattas on the net. In a month straight Kobe scored 65, 60, 53, 50, 50, 50, 50, 48, 46, 43, 39 and 34 points. Please bring up Wade or Bron best to compete or counter that
It's not only USA. Since im from Europe i can say that Greece squad was really scary aswell..But of course when u meet USA i guess u gotta be Spain to not get crushed.
I believe why my mummy love America so much America play the best basketball love you Kobe Bryant he just so painful that I'm very young when my mum died I would have been able to give her what she wants because all she wants to do is to travel to America and see you Kobe Bryant

I have watched a number of the USA games over the years it is a surprise how in most of them The USA is losing in the early part of most of the games..
This was the US's revenge for 2006. They never met up in an elimination match after 2006. Through no fault of the USA. This 2008 Greece team got 5th place and that has been the last time Greece has even reached the quarter finals in any global tournament.
@@gabepizza Wade was a sure fire addition. He was the best player on the team actually. Or played the best. Durant would replace, Redd or Prince. He was better than both of them at that point.

it was revenge because Greece was the team that eliminated Team USA in 2006. Basically the same team without Kobe
Kobe was blocked by Diamantides and that's why kobe said he would love to have him in his team!
I've watched the Olympics basketball so many times just to see Kobe again. 😢🏀
We miss you every year Kobe this video was so amazing you guys will always be team USA in basketball & the NBA 🏀🏀🏀🏀🥇🏆

Wade Bosh and Lebron redeemed themselves in this game. Look at their defense efforts, Bosh stopping Greek guards after switch, multiple times.

The first scorer in history from NBA and EUROLEAGE in the same game

What nonsense are you talking about, you nonsense?
This Team USA was incredible. We lost the final but i am so greatful for watching that match.
wdym,USA won the gold
@@JamesBond-kl5ef maybe he's Spanish
ofc Wade's energy and contribution sparks it all
It's not only USA. Since im from Europe i can say that Greece squad was really scary aswell..But of course when u meet USA i guess u gotta be Spain to not get crushed.
@roboxing 6 points is crushed?
@flick the Olympics are a waste of our players time and energy.
@fliksn NBA>Olympics by a LONG shot lmao. Its a different level. But stay on your america hating bandwagon. We are doing fine
What you say is also partly correct. Spain is pretty tough as far as I know.
you knoe the score of USAvsSpain of that year? i guess not
that .. was solid line up.. 🧠🧠🧠
coach K wade,kobe ,james , chris bosh
Dwade… put on a defensive show and spark the former Finals MVP
Greetings from Greece miss you Kobe
Kobe ❤❤❤❤ from India
You know you winning when Kobe is there. No playing around. Mamba mentality.
I believe why my mummy love America so much America play the best basketball love you Kobe Bryant he just so painful that I'm very young when my mum died I would have been able to give her what she wants because all she wants to do is to travel to America and see you Kobe Bryant
Bosh was awesome this game. Got to the line, getting a block and 2 steals, off guards no less.
About time somebody uploaded this
Kobe was such an amazing Human being. My age and i loved seeing him.
I watched that game live.. it was the best time to be a basketball fanatic
Same. The Beijing Olympics was fun to watch.
It's crazy how much better they both are now. The World and the USA.
Look at the team... Eastern All Star + Western All Star vs Greece
Completely unfair. 5 starters on the floor plus more starters on the bench.
Upload 96 dreamteam games !
That team is so slept on.
32:10 look out! The crowd was like woaaaah.
ahh that wade to kobe lob will forever be beautiful.
Many thanks for this game!.Its possible to bring The Redeem Team vs Germany, please?.Thanks!.
Crazy we watching J. Kidd coach in the NBA finals now, time be flying

Dwight Howard C
If I was Coach K I wouldn't of started Dwight and give him bare minutes but that's just me. 17:02
wade was the best player here
Dwyane Wade is the best.
It was a great competitive game for at least 16-17 minutes
bosh played great in this game, i was disappointed from Bouroussis (as usual) and turnovers from Greece in 2nd 3rd quarters
This was a fun game to watch. On a side note, didn't know Shaq played for Greece. #14 was a spark off the bench.
They called him baby shaq
sou fan de jordan lebron mas o kobe nessa olimpiada chamaram ele para liderar o time, e ele mostrou porque e um dos melhores
Africa national team respect you
🎉

He his insanely quick on the defensive end but at the same time inefficient, too many attempts plus missed free throws.

Oh how I wish the NBA officiating was similar to FIBA. Let them play and be more physical.

Very nice basketball from both ... That greek team was simply awesome...
whose watching in 2024
The one time I ever rooted for Kobe Bryant was these Olympics

Amazing Greek squad but that is American team was triple stacked the was there one player that wasn't a all-star?
Very Jordan like Qualities- Dwade
仔細看這場比賽. 希臘隊打球蠻狠的.
They played well with the reff

basketball played very different back then
What's the name of the song playing at 6:00
Love it!!
Kobe came to carry Lebronze and save him from a 3rd bronze.
Save him? How about Kidd and Kobe saving everyone. Lebron isn’t the only one on the team. Kidd leadership was huge too
can u upload the germany game
Just imagine if this team also had a young Durant. It would truly be the best ever.
They had D-Wade instead. Durant just missed the cut
@@gabepizza Wade was a sure fire addition. He was the best player on the team actually. Or played the best. Durant would replace, Redd or Prince. He was better than both of them at that point.
smh calling fouls in the fist 2 minutes back to back.
Since the USA vs Greece match, the referee has always called air fouls against USA
19:53 Shaqs Match up!
14-20 get bumped and foul! what a story mark
United States thought this is a wrestling or mma event. Thoughout the game they wrestle and fight.

@@gabepizza stfu the whole point of that was to praise Kobe n bron
The best ♡
Jason Kidd foul trouble early HAHAHAHHH
If only the Greeks had similar athleticism... Tactically and defensively they were the better team but size really made the difference.
Kobe was a amazing laker he help the lakers to win many games over the years live on brother
😢😢
Goat kobe
@51:00 Kobe and Melo
1:14:25 Greece number 9 foot was one the line but they count it as 3 point 😂 wat was ref looking at?😂
YO im glad im not the only one to notice that! shows you how many potential calls can be missed throughout a game
I didn't know shaq was playing for Greece
Best team.
The best team ever
To say that 2024 squad is even better than this squad is blasphemy. They are at 4th place behind 92, 96 and this one.

You better not let him do sh** down there 1:06:03
They shouldn't have brought Kobe. That's not fair)
If you have kobe on the team you won already
Even without kobe and lebron i don't think anyone could beat this USA team
92 team would’ve destroyed this 08 team

This game was revenge for team USA
