Great analysis! Spanish was a huge team in this competition. All the players was important for this big achievement. And Scariolo and their assistants was the brain of this magic victory. Intensity, concentration, confidende, generosity, ambition, humility... This guys was a big example for basketball, other sports and life in general. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Escariolo is the key master only because his players let him so. Escariolo explained after winning the gold that it was extremely easy for him and the technical staff to direct the team this time, they managed to turn the absence of big names, big popular players, into strength, by having instead players that completely lack ego or arrogance. The players were all too willing to just follow whatever instructions the technical team was telling to do, no matter if their role was going to just to defend to exhaustion for a few minutes, or just make blocs and screens... they took whatever role was handed to them to heart, because they took for granted they were no stars... all of them, even Rudy Fernandez has that winning attitude. And it work, of course it did. When players have no ego and dont feel entitled to show their stardom... their energy is transfered to the group and whole team becomes the star.
I agree. In theory, it's easier to coach an underdog team and I believe it helped hugely this year. You could feel the desire of the players to prove others wrong was winning over. So they gave that extra inch every time, they worked a bit harder. Stories likes this motivate you more. Obviously not always they end with the titles, but once you start winning, it becomes extremely hard to stop teams like this.
Unexpected gold medal, right the tournament with less spanish NBA players in many years... We spaniards reeeeeeeeeeeally loved it! Astonishing team effort!
Spain is different, there is no doubt! All their women's and men's basketball teams of any age have been on the podium this summer in the championships they have participated in. They have young talents whom they pamper, care for and let mature to gradually incorporate them when they are ready. This is not a coincidence, they are hard workers, they fight for the team even though they are stars of this sport, a star does not win championships, a team does win them. Spain was very short of players due to injuries or other circumstances, but they put on that shirt and give it their all. If I were their rival I would always fear them, they never give up, in the next World Cup there will be recovered players and young talents ready to play, they may or may not win, but the team that wants to beat them will have to suffer a lot.
Spain has build something else in the past 20 years. It's way more than a golden generation of players with the Gasol Brothers, Navarro, Ricky Rubio, Rudy Fernández etc etc...it's a whole culture. We all thought Spain was in a transition period, but these player are here to stay for 5 to 7 years and they have lots more coming, since the under 16 Eurobasket and under 17 world cup teams won silver medals, and under 18 and under 20 teams won both gold Eurobasket medals....and all four tournaments had spanish MVPs: Mario Saint-Supery, Izan Almansa and Izan Almansa in both tournaments, and Juan Núñez in under 20 Eurobasket who trained with the national team. Besides that Spain has a 7' 3" 17 years old center that can shoot and pass at elite level called Aday Mara. The future...oooof
we are so lucky to have great managers and directors behind the scenes, they wer so clever to invest all the huge publicity money that came rushing during the Pau Gasol era into building the best structures and systems to form new players, and now is giving its fruits. Very lucky indeed.
I'm not sure something similar like this has ever been done. To have all the youth teams in the finals is remarkable and tells that your system is working better than anyone's right now. Even if the biggest talents might be on the other teams, this means that your players and coaches have installed a playing style that is unmatched for others and everyone has bought in. Future is bright. Well, even the present haha
Spain is a great power in basketball. Many people think that the sport in which Spain is best is football. I think that in basketball and handball Spain is one of the greats in the world. Many years winning medals in Olympic, world, European games. Great players like the Gasol brothers, Ricky Rubio, Calderón, Ibaka, Hernan Gómez brothers, without a doubt more than 15 years in the top elite. With 2 Olympic finals against the United States in Beijing 2008 and London 2012 with epic matches
Great analysis ..... for sure Spain played like a team and they were, as usual in such an important match, really focused in defense and that is the key point in the spanish game. The amount of turnovers in the French side is a clear sign that they weren't warm enough for this match
Si, pero muchos de esos balones perdidos fueron provocados directa e indirectamente por la defensa del equipo español : la práctica en el campo y la teoría y la práctica con el entrenador
Well, be careful, I think it will be better. there are plenty of players missing who haven't been able to due to injury or because their teams haven't let them. Ricky Rubio, Santi Adalma, Sergio Llull, Claver, etc.
Nice analysis Defence wins games. Teamwork above all. Escariolo is great, but all the coaches team deservs a huge recognize. Lietuva´s fans, the best of all supporters by far. Stay till the end and coloured the pavillion in every game. Love for the game.
Glad to see a team of full of blue collar workers win. No superstars just a hard working team. They got better every game until the final where it was a basketball clinic.
I have zero problems with Lorenzo playing for spain as long as he wants to. People were saying, he doesnt speak spanish, he is american, hardly been in spain bla bla bla. The guy played all tournament with an injured shoulder, had to be injected on a few games, and still gave us 29 on the semis and made the tournament top 5 above Doncic for example. There are a lot of racist and uncultured people, starting by Prigioni, and many racist spaniards that doesnt like black guys playing for spain in general. If they are as professional like him I say bring them on.
I think yall would be fine. I mean it depends on the expectation, I believe that Wolves would be a good regular season team, no one would randomly decide to scheme against Gobert in a regular season matchup, and just Gobert there alone would guarantee a top regular season defense, so I have no doubt that Wolves would be a good regular season team. However, there might be some issues in the playoff and we could very well see Gobert struggle like how he did in the video, but with KAT alongside him, the coaching staff could work something out, I'm not too sure tho. But yall should be fine for the regular season
You guys have a great team, way superior by talent to Spain. Problem is a crappy coach, and lack of chemistry between players. Which is exactly the same problem Slovenia and Serbia had. Germany, Poland and Spain went really far with soso squads because of tactics, teamwork and playing hard.
they shoot better than Spain though.. Specially Heurtel and Fournier... only Rudy is at their level and is almost retired... well and, sometimes, Juancho... but only when he manages to get into his Bo Cruz mode

Its not about the american players. Its about the NBA rules, which don´t allow 3 seconds on the zone, many defenses you can use in FIBA are illegan defense on the nba, and they call faul because of sneezing. Plus the way they pamper their stars with calls. USA has fell on the World cup a few times already. And on the Olympics they have just barely won the last few times. Spain made the second best team in USA history, only surpassed by the original dream team, sweat bullets on 2008 and 2012, spain were up with less than 2 mins left on 2008... Kobe and Wade saved the day with two amazing plays. Whith FIBA Rules, the competition is even and tactics and defense really maters. With NBA rules defending is almost impossible, and they obviouly favour isolation,athleticism and speed, over technique and team play hence they favour american players.

Come on. How come every time a team wins it is because of the players work, stamina, etc., unless they are Spaniards? Then we have to look for another explanation, no matar how weird it can be. This very summer all the men's and women's Spanish basketball teams that have participated in the different European basket championships by age (a total of nine) have reached at least the final (four won the other five got the silver medal). Nine out of nine. Stop diminishing the Spanish basketball players.
creo que eres español por eso te lo escribo en español, el tio no ha dicho que los jugadores sean malos, está alabando a escariolo. Y lo que tienes que reconocer es que a pesar de que no tenemos malos jugadores no tenemos ningun as en el equipo como otros años, muchos jugadores bastante nuevos y jovenes, y el que ha hecho que todo el equipo funcionara es el escariolo de siempre, es mi opinion al menos, sin el no habriamos ganado.
@@pablo-od9wo, no te la dejes colar. En muchos comentarios se hace hincapié en Scariolo para minusvalorar a los jugadores. Si no fuera por un italiano, España, con lo inútiles que son los españoles, no habría ganado es lo que quieren decir. Pues no, oiga. No tengo nada en contra de Scariolo; al revés, me parece un tipo muy competente, pero este año ha habido nueve campeonatos de Europa masculinos y femeninos y España ha alcanzado la final en todos. Scariolo sólo dirige uno de esos nueve equipos. ¿Crees que ese nueve de nueve es una casualidad?
İ don't understand one thing:there are lots of bright spanish coaches. Spain is the number one team in europe almost for a few decades. And they are way better than italy on basketball level. Why is this guy is the spain coach for several years. Spain was still a giant before him and had some bad tournament memories with scariolo. Spain send other spanish coaches in a short time but not scariolo. He is good but what makes him 'so' special? İf i were spanish or a spanish coach, i couldn't accept this easily.
There is a simple reason, rules. In Spain there's a rule that make ACB coaches not avalaible as national team coach and most of spanish good coaches work as ACB coaches. That's the reason why Aíto García left his job in 2008 (he signed for Zaragoza) o why Scariolo left between 2013-2014 (he signed for Baskonia). Anyway, you must acknowledge Scariolo has a deep conection to Spain. His wife is spaniard (she was a former eurobasket winner for Spain), his son and daughter are spaniards, he has developed most of his carreer in Spain (7 ACB seasons and aditional 11 years as national teacm coach) and has been living here for decades. We don't consider him as foreigner anymore. And to the question about what makes him so special: 10 tournaments with national team-8 medals. He has won 4 out of 5 Eurobasket tournaments and made bronze in the other one. His success ratio is just insane. He can win managing egos in a team full of stars and he can win with a group of role players working as a team.
Eso demuestra que las casas de apuestas, y los que fueron de entendidos , dejando a España fuera de las medallas , se equivocaron, esto me recuerda cuando fuimos campeones de Europa, en el 2008 , a fútbol, nadie daba un euro por ellos y mira lo que esta conseguido España a baloncesto algún día nos daremos cuenta , de lo que están haciendo estos héroes, 💪💪💪💪😊
i respect this spain team, their coach etc, but i really dislike when american players gets nationality and can play for random teams.... imo all players should be born and raised in that country
Half of the teams that have participated had nationalized players who in many cases had not even lived or played in those countries and do not know how to speak the language. This is how Slovenia won the previous European championship, hiring the American player from Real Madrid, Randolph. Nobody said anything.
@@pedrofmc0000 you are kidding me? have you watched that eurobasket at all? doncic and dragic were carying whole team, in spain case black player carried all offence, if not him who know how it would have ended even against lithuania
Lol how Spain outclassed everyone when they played only one difficult game...the final... their most difficult game before that was like Lithuania...and Lithuania just lost it.... he all love the fiba tourneys becouse underdogs can win... if u make a normal championship (with less teams)...teams with better players most times will win.... even on the previus Eurobasket format with the double group stage and only one knockout was difficult for underdogs...
I think you didn't watch the Eurobasket. Germany was a hard game they were a great team, so was Finland (they eliminated Croatia), and so was Lithuania (Spain had to come back from a big point deficit). The thing is Spain was better in the 4th quarters when pressure is higher, that's being clutch and a competitive and confident team.
@@MrBolaextra watched all games i didnt say they didnt play hard they just didnt play the favorites except france in the final which is a team that their guards are not the highest quality
@@Talismanos The supposed favorites (Greece, Slovenia) showed they relied too much in their stars, and they lost to good collective teams. Germany was a better team than France btw.
That's such a stupid statement. If the Euroleague showed anything is that the favourites weren't favourites because of their teams, but because of the star players. Doncic lost against Poland, Jokic lost against Italy and Gianni's Greece got outplayed by Germany who was later defeated by Spain. Feel like people forget that basketball is a team sport and tactics are extremely important. I feel like Spain would have definitely won against the other star packed teams because they know how to play better as a team, despite lacking stars.
Turkey was a strong team, germany was the favorite once semifinals reached, lithuania is hell of a hard team, Finland was even with spain, France wasnt the strongest team at all
By buying a player from USA that saved every single game....tho was robbed from mvp title as it would couse too much attention to this rediculous unsportsman practice
Yeah, cause we all know Lorenzo Brown is better than Doncic, Antetokoumpo, Dragic, Schroeder and all the superstars who were unable to take their teams to the finals. /s

Si no fuera por un italiano, España, con lo inútiles que son los españoles, no habría ganado es lo que quieren decir. Pues no, oiga. No tengo nada en contra de Scariolo; al revés, me parece un tipo muy competente, pero este año ha habido nueve campeonatos de Europa masculinos y femeninos y España ha alcanzado la final en todos. Scariolo sólo dirige uno de esos nueve equipos. ¿Crees que ese nueve de nueve es una casualidad?
Why is there so many crybaby’s in the comments?
everyone knew esp would win this year BTW
Box and 1 Steph curry prob came from him tbh
France basketball Fraud
Spanish masterclass?.. or Italian?
İ don't understand one thing:there are lots of bright spanish coaches. Spain is the number one team in europe almost for a few decades. And they are way better than italy on basketball level. Why is this guy is the spain coach for several years. Spain was still a giant before him and had some bad tournament memories with scariolo. Spain send other spanish coaches in a short time but not scariolo. He is good but what makes him 'so' special? İf i were spanish or a spanish coach, i couldn't accept this easily.
There is a simple reason, rules. In Spain there's a rule that make ACB coaches not avalaible as national team coach and most of spanish good coaches work as ACB coaches. That's the reason why Aíto García left his job in 2008 (he signed for Zaragoza) o why Scariolo left between 2013-2014 (he signed for Baskonia). Anyway, you must acknowledge Scariolo has a deep conection to Spain. His wife is spaniard (she was a former eurobasket winner for Spain), his son and daughter are spaniards, he has developed most of his carreer in Spain (7 ACB seasons and aditional 11 years as national teacm coach) and has been living here for decades. We don't consider him as foreigner anymore. And to the question about what makes him so special: 10 tournaments with national team-8 medals. He has won 4 out of 5 Eurobasket tournaments and made bronze in the other one. His success ratio is just insane. He can win managing egos in a team full of stars and he can win with a group of role players working as a team.
Eso demuestra que las casas de apuestas, y los que fueron de entendidos , dejando a España fuera de las medallas , se equivocaron, esto me recuerda cuando fuimos campeones de Europa, en el 2008 , a fútbol, nadie daba un euro por ellos y mira lo que esta conseguido España a baloncesto algún día nos daremos cuenta , de lo que están haciendo estos héroes, 💪💪💪💪😊
i respect this spain team, their coach etc, but i really dislike when american players gets nationality and can play for random teams.... imo all players should be born and raised in that country
Write a letter to FIBA and ask them to change the rule that allows every team to do that.
Half of the teams that have participated had nationalized players who in many cases had not even lived or played in those countries and do not know how to speak the language. This is how Slovenia won the previous European championship, hiring the American player from Real Madrid, Randolph. Nobody said anything.
@@pedrofmc0000 you are kidding me? have you watched that eurobasket at all? doncic and dragic were carying whole team, in spain case black player carried all offence, if not him who know how it would have ended even against lithuania
not Belgium though :)
Everyone else outplayed the favourites. That's how.
Ask Belgium how to defeat Spain :D
And which was Belgium finally position..tranquilo hermano
Lol how Spain outclassed everyone when they played only one difficult game...the final... their most difficult game before that was like Lithuania...and Lithuania just lost it.... he all love the fiba tourneys becouse underdogs can win... if u make a normal championship (with less teams)...teams with better players most times will win.... even on the previus Eurobasket format with the double group stage and only one knockout was difficult for underdogs...
I think you didn't watch the Eurobasket. Germany was a hard game they were a great team, so was Finland (they eliminated Croatia), and so was Lithuania (Spain had to come back from a big point deficit). The thing is Spain was better in the 4th quarters when pressure is higher, that's being clutch and a competitive and confident team.
@@MrBolaextra watched all games i didnt say they didnt play hard they just didnt play the favorites except france in the final which is a team that their guards are not the highest quality
@@Talismanos The supposed favorites (Greece, Slovenia) showed they relied too much in their stars, and they lost to good collective teams. Germany was a better team than France btw.
That's such a stupid statement. If the Euroleague showed anything is that the favourites weren't favourites because of their teams, but because of the star players. Doncic lost against Poland, Jokic lost against Italy and Gianni's Greece got outplayed by Germany who was later defeated by Spain.
Feel like people forget that basketball is a team sport and tactics are extremely important. I feel like Spain would have definitely won against the other star packed teams because they know how to play better as a team, despite lacking stars.
Turkey was a strong team, germany was the favorite once semifinals reached, lithuania is hell of a hard team, Finland was even with spain, France wasnt the strongest team at all
By buying a player from USA that saved every single game....tho was robbed from mvp title as it would couse too much attention to this rediculous unsportsman practice
Yeah, cause we all know Lorenzo Brown is better than Doncic, Antetokoumpo, Dragic, Schroeder and all the superstars who were unable to take their teams to the finals. /s
Cry like a baby
@@javierpardo453 baha only one should cry r u guys not being able to win without cheating....it will stay engraved in stone forever;) not even knowing what nation are you belonging ahahah
@@KrazyGryph still just an American player
@@nrnrnrnrnrnnrnrnrnr We literally cant care less about what u or anyone else thinks, and if Ricky didnt get injured before the tournament we would have obliterated every other team even more
TLDR: Get an american PG. The end.
Hahaha so Spain only won because of that, right?
@@MrBolaextra next year they can try and play without him in the world cup. Oh wait... They won't... They'll propably get another american transfer.
@@Cotsos88 don't worry we have Ricky Rubio 😉
@@Cotsos88 we already won world cup without him, and without injuries he wont even be starting, and also the FIBA only let 1 naturalized player
Tyler Dorsey?? 🤣
Inglés?? No gracias... negativo y a tomar viento..
Todos con niks en español y escribiendo en inglés, ya os vale!!!
