Great list. Šarūnas Jasikevičius dropping 28 points (and 12 pts straight) to lead Lithuania over USA in 2004 is another majestic individual performance
Luka is talented but even with the current pace of the game, the only reason he thrives is because he gets superstar calls like all the other spoiled. Jasikevičius played with the Pacers for 2 years after Reggie Miller retired but to no avail as the NBA's playstyle back then did not match the Europeans' pace and also because the NBA did not think well of them back then. For other similar cases, please refer to Vassilis Spanoulis, Nick Calathes, Nando de Colo, etc.
why would they show that horrible trowback when lithuania lost it was such a low blow... Tho they won this one, but the usa players 2004 were much stronger back then....
They showed it so that American audience would understand how close of a game it was in 2000. And it was a redemption game in 2004 for Jasikevicius and Lithuania.
That is why they have 7 games series in the Nba. For avoiding lucky victories like this. I am sure that in 7 games series USA would beat them 4-1 or 4-2.
you cannot call this lucky victory... you have to play your best always... you sometimes win you somtimes don't. The Dream Team of the '92 learnt a lesson when they lost against a NCAA players team.
it wasnt a lucky win, as you could see what happend with almost the same team the last time they met before this game. usa won only by two points as jasikevicius couldnt drain the game winning 3pt
@@Эстет-щ3д nah russians can't play ball you wouldn't win a single game out of 100... all the ussr medals were won by Lithuanian players, go back to vodka

🏀 Помню этот фантастичный матч и феерию от Шараса, 12 очков подряд❗👍🇱🇹❤️
played legendary
Jasikevicius was a beast back then.
if I manage to get hands on time machine - 2004 - enter - GO GO GO !!
Yep, amazing feeling :)
Goosebumps every 3point he got 🤣
Молодцы литовцы
Jasikevicius is the reason why shaq and kobe were scared to join team USA in 2002 and 2004
After this we set up USA Olympics committee with Colangelo and coach K! And got the best nba guys. Lebron was 18 and the 12th man on this team
The history repeats 03.09.23
Štai jums amerikos pasipūteliai
USA beat Lithuania. They lost to Greece
if lebron has the same mentality he would have been the GOAT by now.
He could have been like Luka in nba today

this was the worst USA BASKETBALL TEAM and the 2019 USA team
no
Wrong, the one John Thompson selected and coached was!
College kids vs Men
Or Lithuanians was strong team?

I am sure that in 7 games series USA would beat them 4-1 or 4-2.
and if United States played the Russian team, USA would sweep you 4-0. No "lucky victories" for you :]
@@elvisbrows27 maybe 4-1.
