To be honest kobe is a good passer and he pass every game its just his teammates cannot make the shot that's why he cannot get big assist every game. He could give out 10 assidt every game if his teammates scored/shot well
@@Kyrioa yes i think too kobe is good passer its just that he's not good at forcing his teammate to score the damn ball when he pass so that he can get the damn assist
With due respect to Kobe ,he was a legend in basketball, but personally I don't like him when he was playing for the Lakers when Shaq was not in the team .....he never passes the ball and he didn't trust his teammates
Kd and carmelo scoring while lebron and kobe are feeding and creating. I will never forget watching this era of basketball. The 2008 and 2012 olympics were special to watch. Those finals against spain were some of the best basketball games ive ever seen in my life
You have KD KOBE LEBRON start the game and Melo, Harden, AD Westbrook come off the bench. Lebron are passer, Kobe a scorer, man that's greatest.. Let melo make it rain.. Wiyuhhh #unstoppable RIP Kobe
CP3 increased his ball pressure on Calderon and Navaro in the 2nd half. Spain had good players but their primary ball handlers were guards or Gasol bros. They didn't really have any forwards who could do that. So once CP3 increased his pressure on the ball in the second half, it completely threw off their rhythm and it showed.
OMG ❤️ Can we appreciate the Connection @4:50 Kobe & Bron to Melo... Kobe letting bron know to cut around him for the set up and when he found melo in the corner instead of going for the lay up foul and melo made it kobe looked at bron like “ Yessss thats what im talking about “ 💪🏾 Huge Kobe fan we gotta just appreciate Greatness from both players Two 🐐🐐 #FuckaDebate
I love how it shows Kevin Love do the spin baseline on Pau, very next possession, Pau does the spin move baseline on Kevin Love and gets the and1. Spectacular show
Abhishek Murali yup, Spain executed their game plan perfectly really. They would rather foul to let US get on the run. Forced US playing their own game the whole game, and nobody could stop Pau, they would’ve won but the US just armed with more star power
Remembered watching these games live and the only thing I'm so mad about is that those 10 min per quarter is just soooo not enough...with these legends playing altogether, a game should be 20 min per quarter so fans like could enjoy more
They would’ve been unstoppable honestly. All Bron needs are some shooters and someone to close out the 4th at times. Other than that he’s an unstoppable player that doesn’t really need to score to dominate. Would’ve been absolute chaos for the NBA. Def a threepeat or at least a back to back
@@unknowninformant6730 the close the 4th thing is Skip Bayless made up nonsense. LeBron in terms of quantity and efficiency is literally the most clutch playoff performer ever and only MJ has an argument. Agreed otherwise
@@WO2411 lol.. like almost lost to Lithuania and Spain in the 2012 Olympics is a bad argument? USA only win by 4 points Vs Lithuania and 7 points Vs Spain.. I don't remember when did the 92 and 96 teams win by single digits margin per game previously.. they are untouchable during their time. Whereas 2012 team is vulnerable.
@@shaunakkulkarni4679 the bench was not In their prime and the only reason harden and Westbrook were in it was because wade and rose were hurt. Not to mention dwight. Ad was a rookie here too
Seeing the prime lebron, kobe, durant, harden, davis, westbrook, paul, love, anthony. Bro those are all legends now. To play against them is superb. 22 ppts low against those monsters is not something to be dissapointed for
I’m interested in seeing skip and Shannon talk about this game. Especially since all of a sudden the USA team is so relevant. Lol KD and Lebron on the same squad. That debate from them would be hilarious
Crazy they act like Team USA is selfish when all you see is them forcing turnovers with great defense, two-man games, and guys hitting wide open threes.
usa melo is the best version of melo he doesnt need to do other things that hes not really good at but just scoring it is effortless for him to just need to score cuz thats what he does best
What? Ibaka was eating them alive until he got benched... that’s crazy, Charles Barkley would have killed that lazy D. And Jordan would just do what Jordan does.
Yes Spain didn't came out to play this game, they knew they'd meet in the final so they didn't really showed their cards too much, as we saw in the final game which was way closer. Nice video thought
Spain team is nice too. Gasol, Calderon, Fernandez, and Ibaka. All play/played in NBA. But yeah, this USA team is a GameShark cheat code. KD, LeBron, that might be a bit after prime Melo (correct me if I'm wrong), Kobe, Point God CP3 era.
No, this was still prime melo. I guess you could make the case this wasn't his peak but he also had one of his best seasons around this time. His skill was at an all time high during this but his athleticism wasn't
Westbrook Harden Davis off the Bench👀 this is why there great players. They was with the 4 Kings CP3 KB24 LBJ MELO so many great lessons they had 2 learn from those HOFers
Nick Congdon he was 22 lmao and won 6th man of the year in the 2011-2012 season. No way he was starting over Kobe lmao. He was a good player but no where near what he is now
I never realized how good the chemistry was between Bron & Kobe
Racks City lebron is the most unselfish player ever
It makes sense, they were great friends off the court, and both do whatever it takes to win. RIP Mamba :(
One is a pass first, one is score first
they wouldve been great together
but this is not an NBA game tho
Damm it man This team was so good a prime Carmelo had to come off the bench
For real bro 😂
Coulda let Bron run point & put Melo at the 3 🤷🏽♂️😂😂
@@yeathatsGOTTI CP3 at point was a good decision though.

If LBJ would’ve played with Melo, They would’ve been lethal in the NBA
Broo I been saying this for years
If he went to the Knicks instead of the heat back in 2010 they could have been teammates most likely

It could happen now
