Full highlights from USA's game against Nigeria in the Men's Preliminary Round Group A from the Basketball Arena during the London 2012 Olympic Games on 3 August 2012. The game saw the USA team set a new Olympic record for most points scored in a game, as well as setting a new American record by making 29 three-point shots.
Basketball made its appearance at the Olympic Games in 1904 in St Louis as a demonstration sport, as the competition was held between only American teams and counted as an event of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU of the USA) Championships.
At the Games in 1936 in Berlin, basketball joined the Olympic programme, where it has remained to this day. Women's basketball debuted at the 1976 Games in Montreal. =========================================

I think Nigeria doesn't know that the USA bench is another starting 5 lol
They know. They're probably enjoying the learning experience. Anyone who loves to play basketball would be honored to play these legends.

Of course this is gonna be recommended at a time like this😂

You will be missed.
+Joe Lackey You mean James Har_en
+Joe Lackey it was then he decided that playing defense isn't worth it
+Joe Lackey That move though o_O
+Joe Lackey lol after that he learned how to split easy
I think nigeria kept his ankels
This happened when I was in high school and I remember watching this game over and over. Even now, every now and then I come back to watch it. Super nostalgic. Every one of these players is in a different place now; some won multiple championships, some haven't won championships, some are hated, some are retired, and Kobe has passed away. Yet I'll never forget how proud I was to say that this was our team. These guys gave me a lot of great memories and I'll never forget it.
W comment
I feel you 🙌🏻☺️
cute
when black ppl from Level 3 meet their ancestors at Level 1
This is an inside joke or something? There's no way beating Nigeria is an accomplishment for Americans. No way this result wasn't expected.
47:04 *DAYUMM*
😭😭😭y he do our boy Harden like that
And then it literally became Harden’s signature move lmao
They should’ve gave Nigeria an extra 3 points just for that.
@@MyThoughtzAndOpinionz true 😂
That's why Harden doesn't try as hard on defense anymore
I feel so bad for the Nigerian coach. In the lockerroom at half-time, "I'm sorry guys, I got nothin."
Well, the heavily favored Greek team, whom the Nigerians dumped on to advance against the US, would definitely disagree. At least the Nigerians had that triumph to enjoy, and they had every reason to be proud!
they must be honored to play with basketball legends. anyone would be if they're into basketball
hahahahahaha
Matt Harness I wish Raimo Summanen would’ve coached that team, lol
MUFC as long as American football and basketball exist in the states, there is little hope for soccer becoming the dominant sport in the nation
Nigeria Coach - "Cmon guys, keep the formation going, we worked on this yesterday! Stay in the game and keep pushing!"
USA Coach - "Aight where we eatin' after?"
us coach: bruh im starving i heard theres a food place nearby, we should try it
vick hj a food place? You mean a restaurant smh
@@UrBaNlLeGeNdZ bro ngl i mustve been high writing that

Napoleons burrito palace next door it’s got a five star review coach
And what's amazing is that this Nigerian team isn't exactly made up of scrubs either. Two of their starting five are NBA-caliber players and the majority of them play professionally in Europe. These guys would probably dominate a top-tier American college team, so that just puts into context just how ridiculously good Team USA is.
that usa team is literally a hall of fame lineup. KD, lebron, kobe, Westbrook, harden, etc all in the same team is just unfair haha
@@dude99844 yeah but olympics are a showcase of the best of the best
To be specific, two were first-round NBA draft picks, and two on the bench were second-round (only one got to play in the NBA). They're not just NBA-calibre - they were NBA players.
rather idiots, coach mostly!
@@dude99844 ITS THE OLYMPICS. we all have the same amount of hours in a day. Only the best of the best play in the Olympics. USA just so happens to be the best at basketball. Go cry about it
Respect for Nigeria 🇳🇬 never giving up even though they were out scored by twice the points against a record setting team!
Or maybe real sports need to start implementing a gg call option kek
Didn't they beat yall recently?

During timeouts, Mike Krzyewski is like "I called this timeout to talk about where we want to go for dinner... And just keeping shooting."
hahahahhahahahahhahahah
He is more of a baby sitter then a coach on this team
Coach K, 'Guys this is a serious issue we must discuss, why can't you guys make up ur mind on simple things like this in the game... is it going to be macs or taco bell'
Hahaha yea rite...

The girk is just a Crybaby
I keep seeing comments about how this is unfair and that the USA should use college kids instead. But this goes against the whole point of the olympics. Both teams dedicated their life and put in hundreds and hundreds of hours to get reach that skill level. In the end, USA is just the best at basketball...simple as that.
Most other teams don't even put half the amount of time in as the US
+Jared A bro the US doesn't put in as much time as most teams. theyre just that much better. regardless some of the games have been close and in 04 we lost
+Jared A doesn't matter. USA can get demolished in certain sports that Americans typically don't play or they usually lose in certain sports because it's not a typical American sport

The USA and basketball is like Jamaica and sprinting
Keith C. it's nothing like that. It's because of wealth and population. Jamaica is good at sprinting because of genetics.
Keith C. except usa can def hang right with jamaica in sprinting
dacosta smith we can compete with a lot of people in a lot of sports because of our immense population/wealth. international sports is more about economics than skill per capita.
***** You're an idiot. It's ALL about skill.. Money is just a HUGE part of sports. As far as them winning by a landslide, these are the best talents in the USA. Of course it's skill, you idiot.
lash beazer for one thing you read what i said wrong. i said it's more about economics than SKILL PER CAPITA. of course it is skill, duh. but having large wealth and population allows more potential for the collection of skill over a great area... which means these games are pointless for comparing skill per capita.
If you multiply Nigeria's score by 2, the score was 146-156 so it was only a 10 point victory. Closer than you might think
to bad that's not reality
or 312 to 146 if you multiply both by two....
USA still win by more points than Nigeria scored that's pretty bad

I lived in Africa for about nine years, and I honestly don't remember hearing about Basketball. Basketball is just not a significant sport in Nigeria, or anywhere else in Africa.
Football (or "Soccer", as you may know it"), on the other hand, now that is a sport.

+NoLimits I'm pretty sure American football is bigger than basketball here.
Being able to score 62 points on the best basketball team in the world isn’t anything to scoff at.
I love the fact that LeBron kept yelling: "By yourself...By yourself...Back screen!". It doesn't matter if you are a team of superstars or amateurs. Language is the same.

Unpopular opinion: The reason why the current USA team is struggling is because other countries have stepped up their games collectively in recent years.
This. Exactly.
And the best basketball players in US didn’t sign up
The main reason comes from the NBA getting more and more athletes from over seas so they won't compete on the American team.
Giannis could play for Nigeria
