So silly. Tell that to all the stupid foreigners who spend $100s of dollars on Jordan shoes so they can scalp them later or praise Kobe Bryant like he's Nelson Mandela. People like stars. I'll give you one thing, though. I bet a lot of people who weren't from America wouldn't even think to watch such a one sided game (that this was supposed to be) unless they were Lithuanian.
Much love to Lithuania from Greece!A country with less than 3 million population but with so much basketball talent!!!Lithuania is the Basket itself...Respect brothers
The narrator calls the Russians the USA's "old enemy" (in reference to their Olympic rivalry with the USSR team) but Lithuania was just as much a part of that "old enemy" as Russia. Lithuania made up less than 2% of the Soviet Union's population but contributed 5 players to its 12-man roster when they won the gold in 1988. The country has always been fanatical about the sport. Lithuanians are born with basketballs in their hands.
Do you think they could consistently compete against Serbia or old Yugoslavia had they got more population and better economy for developmental resources?
As an Australian, Lithuania have always been a key nemesis of ours (despite them being so much smaller a nation). Lithuanian basketball is HIGHLY respected in Australia - such a brilliant combination of strategic team play and individual excellence. I still love watching them play to this day.
Lithuania had/has absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of, whatsoever. They showed the definition of heart, grit and determination, which is a rare commodity these days.
actually I love Lithuanian team. im from Philippines, there are lots of Filipino fans here supporting Lithuania. when lithunia has games i eager to watch it on TV.

Since middle of 80's, and especially after the final Euro95, we wanted first of all to win vs Yugoslavia, but instead that almost won against US in 2000 :) :) :)
Imagine your in the 92 olympics finally realizing you can play basket ball for your home country, and the first opponent you have is the top 10 basketball legends in history
@@SssagaBenches4U no need for that, just watched such an old vid and it makes me think how great we were, for such a small country with only few people to play against the big boys is an honour. And no, Germans Hater..
The final possession was one of the only things the Lithuanians did wrong the whole game - final shot wasn't close to being off in time. But they shattered the invincibility of the USA in hoops and opened the door for top-flight international competition from this point forward.
I remember this game and cheering Lithuania. I wouldn't call this a strange moment. Lithuania had a strategy in the 2nd half and they executed it very well. The US got shook and just got the win by luck in my opinion. Good on Lithuania to take the US to the limit
Siskauskas had 90% in his career from the free throw line, but he missed those crucial 2 free throws and he also missed the crucial 2 free throws in Euroleague 2012 final against Olympiacos
Ramunas Siskauskas,the greatest choker of all time.Missed two vital free throws here,missed the game winning 3 against my team Panathinaikos during Euroleague Final 2009,Missed 2 vital Free throws again against Olympiakos at the Euroleague final 2012.
que grande Lituania, ese game creí que lo habían ganado y lo festejaba con suma felicidad hasta que me entere al otro día, y bueeeee, había que esperar que se va a hacer. Hasta que llego Atenas 2004 y ahí lo grite alma y vida!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mis RESPETOS A LITUANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember this game and it was awesome, but i'll never forget in '04 when a little islan from the caribean called Puerto Rico beat the USA team and it was at the beginning of the Tournament too. Everyones jaws dropped on the floor including mine lol
In my view, basketball makes LITHUANIA VERY FAMOUS! SABONIS, MARCHILINUIS, HOMICHUS, KURTANIATIS and DOMANTAS SABONIS - THE LIVING LEGENDS OF THE WORLD AND LITHUANIAN BASKETBALL!
I was young then and did not really follow neither NBA or the Olympics. I did not even watch this in full then, but I totally remember this match! We really wanted Lithuania to win. And it was probably one of the historic moments when the word "Lithuania" made an impact on everyone. I am not sure of course but it impacted me and my sister who was watching the game very closely. Totally remarkable game. And I still hope Lithuania will win the Olympic gold for basketball soon. That 2000 loss should be avenged. That match surely gained my utmost respect for Lithuania.
Its nice knowing that besides the US dominating basketball on the international stage, some countries with players dedicated game actually put up good fights.
Ditto. Man, that would have been epic. Honestly, I was happy when our Dream Team got beat in 2004. The Olympics lost something when the professionals were officially allowed to compete.
Not really, Olympics should always be about the very best coming toe-to-toe. It may not always add to the competition, but it also does not peak interest if you know that the best are not involved, somewhat like what happened in Pyeongchang 2018 in hockey - Germany ain't one of the two best teams in the world.
You are not American if you are rooting for another country...stop the lying and BS Or you secretly hate Black men because they made the majority of the USA team.
Watch closely the game clock and the shot clock before Lithuania's Sarunas Jasikevicius would have taken the 3-point shot at the buzzer. The shot would not have counted anyway even if it had gone in because time already ran out. Anyway, it was a thrilling game that Team USA won't ever forget. Kudos to the Lithuanians who nearly scared the life out of the stunned American NBA players.
My parents said I could go to one event when the Olympics came to Sydney. I was lucky that my Brother and I got to see this game, especially because Vince was my favourite player.
Ramunas Siskauskas was one of the best to ever play in Lithuania, but he had issues hitting those last-minute free throws. He missed not only in this game but the Euroleague final as well for 2 times I think. Anyway at these Olympics Lithuania showed that even team USA can be shaken and a few years later that's what happened when the USA only won Bronze. I think it's for the best as now Americans take the Olympics a bit more seriously than before.
I was at a bar in New Jersey watching that game. If you didn't have a drink in your hand in those last few moments, you weren't going to get it right away. The bartenders and patrons alike were riveted to that tiny television. When the Lithuanian got that final shot off his fingertips barely beating the buzzer and missed, a huge collective sigh of relief went through the place. Moral of the story, no fair contest is guaranteed, which is why you play the game.
My best friend in school in 2000 was a kid from Lithuania. He was pretty happy about this even though they lost lol. And you know what? I was happy he was happy lol
but l0st cl0se game f0r a br0nze medal 104-96 :( against them and it wasnt bad team als0 with Iverson, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Richard Jefferson...
Brian, this clip is about other times, when nobody even dare to dream about winning vs USA, this game was the first when world saw that it might be possible, it was shock for everybody, because before this game USA always smashed in all games...
I am looking at that moment repeatedly, and clearly Lithuanian player do not have any attempt to pull Garnet or put hands on him. He is trying to come closer to ball but Garnet is sitting on floor and attempting to stop opponent by sliding on floor. Is absolutely clear that is Garnet who is making foul on opponent player. Incredible that is called foul against Lithuanian player.
@@sasamackic look where ref is standing and how does it look like from his perspective, not to mention this split second decision making where such game is on the line, i think it was a good call, ball dont lie and they called jump ball valiation on usa later on, something i think nba players have never heard of knowing how loosey basketball rules are there
Actually, this was back when international basketball was still divided into 20-minute halves. They didn't start playing 4 10-minute quarters until after the Sydney Olympics.
World championship in Indianapolis in 2002, Srbia and Montenegro (SR Yugoslavia) beat USA in quarter-final. Later we won the gold medal beating Argentina in final after dramatic finish, and defend gold medal won in world ch. in 1998.
Even though Team USA still won gold that year, this game ended up revealing the growing cracks in USA basketball that would end up revealing themselves in the FIBA 2002 World Cup and most famously the 2004 Olympics: their complacency and their habit of underestimating opponents.
I remember watching this, and the commentator saying, "unless you're from America, you're cheering for Lithuania to win."
I am from America and was cheering for Lithuania. Love the underdog....
So silly. Tell that to all the stupid foreigners who spend $100s of dollars on Jordan shoes so they can scalp them later or praise Kobe Bryant like he's Nelson Mandela. People like stars. I'll give you one thing, though. I bet a lot of people who weren't from America wouldn't even think to watch such a one sided game (that this was supposed to be) unless they were Lithuanian.
People might like starts but people are definitely not rooting for the U.S outside the U.S. At least in Europe.

Can confirm lol. In Lithuania we have a saying. It’s basketball first, god second, and family third lol.
@@doncarloancelotti2256 They already can compete and win Serbia on any given day now
yes, really ironic to see this small country is much stronger than Russia which has more than 20 times population

I’m Australian and this is not true at all. Luke does not love watching them play
And thats why you should't judge a country about sports all because of the countrys size
many years later!!
I was at that game, atmosphere was electric, all of us aussies were cheering for Lithuania. Best game I have watched.
Lithuania has always been considered a ''basketball academy'' among Europeans. Fantastic players
The First Sport or Nathional Sport is the Basketball in this country
Well it is our second religion sooo
Lithuania, Greece, Ex-Yugoslavian countries and Spain are the heart of European basketball.
The Serbs always beat the Lithuanians.

So so much respect to Lithuania from Greece. They deserved to win. Played like fighters.
Mr Nobody they didn't deserve to win only 1 team can deserve to win
Bo Harris in a game.. Maybe the refs are supporing one team.. Maybe one team have injuries of the good players.. Many maybe's. So no
PlayTogether 76 they got very good team this year if you consider they end up 10th last year. Good luck in f4 now :)

@@subpar3462 names ending in "ic" are mostly found in countries like the former Yugoslavian ones. If I'm not wrong (I'm Dutch, don't speak Serbian) I think it's "Yugoslavian" for son. As in Stephenson or Johansson.

As a Lithuanian, your name gives me chills
Lithuania always goes hard. They're the "Other Dream Team".

Yugoslavia was the other Dream Team, before the Dream Team.
It was such a great movie
I love that documentary
I love these videos. Puts the athletes you may never have known of in the spotlight and giving them the respect they deserve
Yeah we Lithuanians lost against dream team in olympic games in 2000, but we take revenge and win on 2004 olympic games in Athens.
We still lose at 3rd place match :(
Glendon Chin ur mom said that when u born?
No u guys didnt
Yeah and Serbia (Yugoslavia) crushed you
Heard USA 2004 team was not the best that they could had send out
Imagine your in the 92 olympics finally realizing you can play basket ball for your home country, and the first opponent you have is the top 10 basketball legends in history

I give my highest respect to Lithuania team! Lots of love from Malaysia!
Props to Lithuania from the States🇺🇸
Respect to Lithuania, our tough opponent from Serbia....
Huge respect for Lithuania 🙏
There should be a Hollywood movie. Much respect goes out to Lithuania.
N P. There's a good documentary called "the other dream team"
They showed us, the argentinians, that was possible. And we did it twice. A Lot of respect to Lithusnia and its magnificient básquet
Lithuania was great in this game! ❤️ Congrats to both teams!
Lithuania didn't win the Olympic Games.
But won our hearts.
I'm American too and I feel bad for them. They really killed it out there
Thank you!
Bro the devastation on the guy's face after missing the three for the final match chance you gotta feel for the guy
I still remember this game and it was too sad seeing the lithuanians loosing the game.
It was an amazing game.
We will never forget this match
I was just 5 years old and this is one of my first memories. The city I am from (Kaunas) was on FIRE during these olympics

I remember both occasions well. Both were huge. It's crazy when you consider the fact that he was an extremely composed and cold blooded player.
Couldn't handle the stage and pressure
That's why he could never be a leader!
No hate to him tho, all respect but he was the classic example of "great players who are not clutch"
He choked. To bad.
