Exactly what I was gonna say, maybe he’s a Melo fan and was honoring him. Did anybody ask him? The media will just accuse without any proof just to stir up s**t, cause they know most people are reactors not thinkers. It could be either way but without proof why get emotional? We all know fake news is rampant, so why keep giving them the benefit of automatic trust and belief?
@@tobyjohn-kq8hr Yep, even in the Serbia vs Germany match Melo watched and they dapped one another up again. I’m from the States and there’s no malice here between the two…
@@DenisShillingford Was LBJ actually defending Melo since there was no beef between him and Bogdan? Does LBJ's simple score on a much smaller opponent deserve a celebration. Real professional players act like they've been there before, but LBJ is a Bronze medallist, which is a fact!
He played the game of his life . They like to talk about Jokic & rightfully so but this dude is the reason they pushed the US in that game . Big shot after big shot .
He played an average game for his own standards. He played better games on this Olympics and he has had many, many better games playing for Serbia in his career. This was far from the best game of his life.
@@Supreme36074 I meant Bogdan Bogdanović. I am from Serbia, I watched many, many games from Bogdan for our national team that were either as good as or better than this one. Our role players played well above expectations in the semi finals, they, along with the coaching stuff were the reason why the Serbian team did so well, Bogdanović played as we here in Serbia expected him to. He always plays better for the national team than he does in the NBA. Check out his game against the USA in 2019, or his game against South Sudan in 2024 or how he played in any FIBA tournament from 2017 onwards.
People in Serbia tend to like Carmelo more than Lebron,this was his way of showing respect.Lebron is mostly loved in USA,but people over here know who the real GOAT is and hate when media is pushing narratives for a certain someone.
I don’t think anyone is pushing the narrative except for you. You and the most of the media try to make it seem impossible to pass MJ. In my opinion, the King has already surpassed him. And this is my opinion just like how you have yours.
LeBron was defending him from what? Also Carmelo could hold his own but the Serbian was just doing his signature celebration because he's a fan. Y'all reach
Those players are professional and during competition they pop out their bravery to pushed themselves into more action… after the game expresses each other’s respect and appreciation. Usually are the fans who showed more beef and rivalry between them.
@@Oooyessbro Son every country sente their best players plus their players have played with each other for years. USA put the team together in 2 weeks.. so stfu
Got to love how Europe and Sudan are challenging USA. It's way more fun than blowouts. If only Africa invested more into talent because trust me Africa has thousands of 7 footer's that never get the opportunity.
Africa can't invest in shit...because the resources are being stolen by the USA and the Western Europe. Can't worry about sports when you are being robbed and raped.
Be honest did you ever saw the basketball rule where the player gets fouled in duel before he's teamate shoot and made the 3 pointer and after that they get the ball again and made a 3 again. I think that's what made a change in the game in a big way and I never saw that rule in my life.
@@pop7292true, serbian coach was on the court more than a few times; should’ve been T’ed up for them but refs let it slide (didnt let it slide when south sudan played serbia though…. just saying…)
Taunting is normal in basketball. Over Hitting/not-relevant hitting an opponent is damn not. Basketball is a physical game but its more of a mind game. Its like playing chess in motion. Salute to all bolistas🫡
Good try but he’s showing respect. Friendly competition all the way around either you never played basketball or you refuse to embrace the competitive culture.
He was just celebrating his points on the way that one of his idols do. Being disrespectful? No. After a bronze medal match they had their time to congrats, admire his idol. Le Bron was the only disrespectful person in this case. Bogi had some words for him...
C melo should still be playing bro have 1or 2 good years left discipline conditioning bring A-game back fo sho ,USA 🇺🇸🇺🇲 get that win 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🏅we ain't playing Maine...👍☝️👌
It's paying homage not an insult.
That's what I got from it.
Same, while wearing number 7, no less. And Melo is courtside. It kinda just made sense to me.
so melo was his idol?
Right
That’s what I was thinking.What reason would he have to diss melo?
For all you know he's a fan of carmello
Paying Homage. Fake ass clips, tired of it.
People don't understand basketball. Melo nor bron didn't care
@@RUTHLESSambition5because they are both selfish pos.
Bron cared, help ya man to chill and just ball out. Don’t go CRY’N to the refs

It wasn't disrespect. He was honoring Carmelo Anthony.
True
He wasn’t taunting Melo folks, at the end of the game, he and Melo dapped up one another. It’s competition, there was no disrespect.
Letting Melo know he watch him play was paying homage
@@tobyjohn-kq8hr Yep, even in the Serbia vs Germany match Melo watched and they dapped one another up again. I’m from the States and there’s no malice here between the two…
Definition of sportsmanship
LeBron different and he's a professional basketball player and you are not. You're just another LeBron James hater

Mutual respect at the end of the game. Nice.
Fox News
It's not a taunt. He's showing respect to Melo.
It's a taunt at Team USA, but a tribute to Melo. Thanks for pissing off LeBron, stupidz.
Bo deserves mad respect for that game. Bro was lightsOut!😮
Much love. Was a great battle. Great game. Bogdan played amazing.
Carmelo deserves waaaay more praise n respect than given. Bro was a beast n pure shooter wit a body on him I loved his game
He does that in Atlanta. He’s a Melo fan, it was done out of respect. Since Melo was in attendance it was like his salute to Melo. Per Melo!
He played the game of his life . They like to talk about Jokic & rightfully so but this dude is the reason they pushed the US in that game . Big shot after big shot .

He wasn't taunting CM he was showin love!
He didn't taunt him. He honored him. Facts
As Melo himself said "He showing love".
Bogi have a nothing but respect to him.
Bogey was legit on a mission that game 😂
Mission Failed 😂😂
😂😂@@gonzoradio1007
Mission impossible 😂
Right you can’t blame that man he was going for a Medal like USA was
@@cmartin6109vs refs and USA yeah you lose
Melo 100% took it as a compliment rather than disrespect
It's all natuonal pride and honor and the competitive spirit of the game nothing personal! So cool to see the good sportmanship hug at the end!
He even got the same number 😂 he's showing more respect than Carmelo's son for liking PG
No taunting at all. He’s a huge fan of Carmelo. He was paying him homage.
LeBron was defending him from what? Also Carmelo could hold his own but the Serbian was just doing his signature celebration because he's a fan. Y'all reach
It's just sports. It's good to see in the end, men can still be men.
Taunting? I believe it was out of respect, Carmelo was in the stands watching, not a member of the US team playing.
Dude was showering respect
Lebron sure got low down and petty ! ❤😂😂😂
Then, why did he hug the guy after the game? He could have pulled an “Isaiah Thomas”! So stop it!
Don't matter lebum trash .@@brendatwiss2023
Im pretty sure youre retarded.
Nothing wrong with some trash talking during an intense game!
Loved the Serbians national pride! They went all out but the US was just a bit better that day.. Great effort!
Lebron being LeBron....😢😢😢😢
Then he goes to an after-party and yells at a kid
All 3 of them are on a beach together sipping on something expensive 😂
Way to go CARMELO, now can you TEACH Noah Lyles how to accomplish his GOAL without ALIENATING the ENTIRE NBA.
I hear you! What Carmelo gonna teach Noah how to win another Gold Medal?
He has more golds than Noah right now@@samujnks8912
How do you know he was taunting him? He probably looked up to Carmelo Anthony. Get your story straight.
James went overboard like he typically will.
Mello's Son Was Throwing Blows After That Taunt 😂😂
LeFlop made that more of an issue than it should have been.😮
Lebrun who probably never had a fist fight in his life acting tough.
The media is the only one that pit these players against each other
Could it be a sign of recognition and respect why you guys make it into this?
Those players are professional and during competition they pop out their bravery to pushed themselves into more action… after the game expresses each other’s respect and appreciation. Usually are the fans who showed more beef and rivalry between them.
Just little boys in men’s bodies playing a game they enjoy. Respect!
It’s crazy🤦🏾♂️. Melo isn’t even a part of the event, but bro cares so much about Melo’s opinion👌🏾…
👑🙌🏾🤴🏾🙌🏾👑
He wasn’t taunting he was showing LOVE!!
That wasn’t a taunt. That was respect.
He was giving Carmelo his respect. He’s a fan. I’m glad USA won!
I don’t know why people are mad. He was competing and letting them know. I’m here!
True hoopers know Boggy respects Melo.
DID SERBIA 🇷🇸 OR USA WIN🏆OR LOSE 🤔
Never seen Kang James do a "too-small" celebration over an opponent taller than 6'4"
Lebron is such a joke dude is obsessed with attention it had nothing to do with him
The NBA all-star almost lost if the referee hadn't helped😂😂😂
WE DONE WITH THE EXCUSES 😂 .
@@derekstone7685 the NBA player should just play chess
And then curry dropped 30 on him
What? Curry dropping 30 on anyone.
@@edfa3706your comment didn’t change anything btw

Bust chops, that what athletes do, never going to change.
Oh my goodness, Lebron is becoming a villain in front of our eyes. He was showing respect to Carmelo 😂😂😂😂

Melo and LeBron so soft!!! How pathetic and weak
It was all fun, Bogdan a beast, kept Serbia in that game
He had a nerves break down after the game 😂
😅😂🤣
That dude is a world class hooper.
Melo needs to come off retirement and come back to the league as a role player for a year or two. Shiet even going back to the Nuggets would be dope
At the end of the day, they in the nba. It's a brotherhood.
REPRESENTING YOUR COUNTRY SHOULD MAKE YOU THIS COMPETITIVE.
Melo is team USA 🇺🇸 top gold medalist 🏅 wish he could have played .
Bogey always got something to say, in the end, he never gets the last word.
Carmelo respect cuz this kid really did ball out not just talking
It wasn't an insult, but we are in a game, so it's up 😂😂
If he didn’t provoke team USA they could’ve pulled off the upset
Be honest did you ever saw the basketball rule where the player gets fouled in duel before he's teamate shoot and made the 3 pointer and after that they get the ball again and made a 3 again. I think that's what made a change in the game in a big way and I never saw that rule in my life.
IF there were no payed judges Serbia would pulled off the upset..
@@SteveFox369stop the hating USA just better
@@SteveFox369how when more fouls were called on the US, if anything Serbia payed the refs that's why the game was so close.

Looks like he is showing Carmelo that he is a big fan. Not taunting
These big kids provoking each other😂

Thats the best Bogdon has played in his life….and still came up short…you reap what you sow young man
Don’t forget my man Book clowned him too. 😂
This is more like paying homage and respect and Melo understood that.
Good try but he’s showing respect. Friendly competition all the way around either you never played basketball or you refuse to embrace the competitive culture.
Glad they watch USA basketball online
Thats all love. Keep it moving
Carmelo will kill him on a one-on-one😂. That little boy do not want no action. CARMELO is a BEAST.
Pure competitiveness in the moment
It's because Melo said Serbia would just be happy to medal
The Sprit of Drazen Petrovic lives!
Bogdan was a beast in this tournament.
It was disrespectful but he got checked in the end it's all love
That's just part of the game. People make a big deal out of nothing.
He was just celebrating his points on the way that one of his idols do. Being disrespectful? No. After a bronze medal match they had their time to congrats, admire his idol. Le Bron was the only disrespectful person in this case. Bogi had some words for him...
At the end of the day, they're all competitors. I love this
Melo “how come I got the Spike Lee treatment?”
If Serbia would have won they woulda never had that hug lol
These people posting up videos like this are the true villains
Wish he could play like that for the hawks 😅
Nobody gets smaller than LeFlop when he hits the floor.
Wasn't taunting. Let the media tell our stories we'll all be at war.
That was competition an he was competing,It's cool when we do it.
Once the Knicks got Carmelo I knew they were done
Bogdan just pay respect to melo.. Nothing wrong with that, bogdan show a lot of class!
I think he was showing Carmelo respect but who knows maybe they got history
Did you see Carmelo son respond
What he say
What
Kiyan was like "Only I can diss my dad" 😂
That is Beautiful ; hug it out.👏
It was not insulting him. He was paying him homage.
C melo should still be playing bro have 1or 2 good years left discipline conditioning bring A-game back fo sho ,USA 🇺🇸🇺🇲 get that win 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🏅we ain't playing Maine...👍☝️👌
