so Pau loses both the NBA Finals and the gold medal game. it must be a crappy year for him.
Who says that NBA players don't care about this? Look at these guys. I'm so tired of the where people complain that they can't root for Kobe or Melo. Thats bull . They all laid it out on the line for their country and for that gold medal which should be more than enough for any American to root for them. They played with a lot of damn heart.
This team ing kicked ass.

Meh. The US didn't really re-establish itself as the basketball power. Being in a close game against a team without arguably their best player isn't a way to close these Olympics out. They needed a 30 point blowout to shut up the critics and reclaim their past glory.
Now the rest of the world can say that if the US didn't knock down more threes than usual, didn't get a favorable whistle at some points of the game and had to go against a squad that wasn't starting a prepubescent point guard, it would have been totally different.
Nice win but the US of A is about domination ... not simply winning.

HEY WORLD, TELL ME HOW MY A** TASTE!![]()
I see people comparing him to Manu, but how does he compare in crunch time?
IMO, pretty similar. Hit some big threes and was the reason they even had it within 11.
Call in and get drunk.
Yeah those guys earned alot of respect from me for this.
Hopefully this spawns other americans in the NBA to want to play for team USA.
Same here.
I'm sorry to disrespect you but come on man.... be happy we won and shut that downer up!
Just keep saying it Pau... four more years!
I gotta pull the sig after the way Bryant stepped the up to win this game.
Hey face. Get a clue. No one likes you... You and lefty should go back to suckin on each others s.
I cannot believe they cut the telecast with 8 mins to go and then just showed us crappy edited highlights. That is ing criminal.
11pt game eh? Well, back on page 5 I said it would be 10. I look forward to seeing you in SA Manny, drinks are on me (on you)!![]()
Some one give me a game analysis of what happened.
When you own your own business you can't do that
I'll make up for it on the 14th through the 16th of September
VEGAS baby!
Nice win USA and very good basketball by both teams. One of the best international games
in the history (in my opinion). But it wasn“t so easy as many of you thought. After the last beating by 37 points, Streakyshooter wrote it wont be easy if two teems met in finals and boy he was right.
Congrats USA for gold and congrats Spain for really nice effort and silver medal.
Congratulations team USA!![]()
How about we call it even and I get the beers and celebrate USA's gold![]()
Congrats USA
Dude, where's the podium?![]()
The rest of the world is catching up to the USA. This isn't 1992 anymore, we can't just field a team of All-Stars and expect to dominate against teams that have been playing together for YEARS.
I'll say one thing - the US are fitting champions, but no-one is scared of them any more. And they sure as aren't a "Dream Team". There will only ever be one of those.
O'neal as an example to T Park
go figure
Yeah just when my Kobe hate comes back, er does something like that for me to not hate on him so much.
That sucks monkey . You missed an incredible performance from Kobe Bryant... that was right about the time he started going nuts.
He, he, look how many extatic fans and supporters...and all that for some ty, good for nothing Olympic games. It's nice to see that people started to recognize the meanining of FIBA tournaments. It can only lead to more entertaining games like this, during the off season.
Once again, congrats USA!
