Full highlights as the United States beat Lithuania 99-94 in the Men's Preliminary Round Group A match from the Basketball Arena during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
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.

This is the Olympics, you'd expect the audio quality to be top notch
I thought my phone was trippin
i remember this game played night time here in the philippines when i was in highschool. I just woke up, I was shock when i catch my father watching seriously on the screen, and i realize USA was only up by 4.
Kobe、We miss You! You are always our HERO❣️
Respect to both of teams. Especially Lithuania
Latvian here. Always rooting for Lithuania when they play! Well done guys
right back at you
US has greatest talents worldwide, Lithuania has heart&teamwork:)
Isn't it called Russia? also hear u have big economical problems where there in small wages and everything is expensive lol
@@Pekrop7 ? what are you talking about? learn geography dude and history if needed
@@moila9819 He's a russian troll 🙂 He emigrated to the Baltic states during the occupation of Latvia.
my legend, my honor may god be with you always kobe.
Lithuanian small country but we love Basketball so much
better than NBA
@@reala1276 no lol
USA is smaller and we hate it
Lockon Stratos uh YOU HATE IT. WE LOVE IT. WE INVENTED IT!
CanadianAmerican Patriot maybe
I'm from USA. USA vs Lietuva is one of the greatest international rivals. The 2000 match was one of legend this game and the 2010 USA vs Lietuva match are also good. I can't wait for USA to meet Lietuva again in 2014. The clash of two great basketball nations.
Its Lithuania
SOON
LkZjump yes very soon! :)
Bad Wolf Sadly, Kleiza and Kalnietis don't play this year. But we still believe! :D
Evil Anthony Davis Lietuva is Lithuania in Lithuanian.
Lithuania had a really good chance at winning this, USA scored a lot towards the end, great game.
Lithuania fell apart towards the end with turnovers and careless play
This game is so close, you can see how difficult this game for the mighty USA but I love how mamba trusted the king to keeping the ball and win the game
I know we normally don't count moral victories but this is most definitely a win for Lithuania, to even compete with this us team
Props to Lithuania, you guys can ball.
US has greatest talents worldwide, Lithuania has heart&teamwork:)
1:54:19 Durant so unfriendly xD
This was the best match up. The USA had to recruit the older Kobe to boost the youngens defense.. RIP to not the only the best scorer but big time defensive player of the game THE ONE AND ONLY BLACK MAMBA..
man, americans looked really worried in 4th quarter lol.
Great game.
Ghyll But then won the game.
They came and thought they was going to be easy coming off that Nigeria game but then they started to play professional ball against a solid professional team like Lithuania was
for the most teams - yes, however top tier teams are incredibly coached, as you can see at this stage of the playoffs
Dude
The audio is so off
I see/hear anything wrong ,, my audio and video R in the same pace
Ik
Awesome game.. so much respect for Lithuania
Can't really watch this when the sound is ahead of the video
Is it just me or is the court level sound 15 seconds late?
Aidan Mone you are right.
Aidan Mone Synchronizaton sucks
+Aidan Mone I think about 3 seconds earlier.

good game. Lithuania was the only team that actually came close to beating usa
I heard Nigeria came close tho?
Respect to the Lithuanians.
Spain was close
Spain was close, but people don't realize Lithuania has been a dominant force for years.
***** somebody clearly doesnt understand sarcasm
Amazing teamwork for Lithuania! The only reason they lose is turnover, next time, be focus
24:18 Tony G sighting. He probably screaming GET ON YOUR BIKE AMERICANS !!! lol.
lol
What a great match, Lithuania was one of only 2 teams that were close to defeating the USA basketball team.
Argentina defeat it hahaha
Lebron just too damn clutch!
Why are people complaining about why kevin love is on the USA team when he is amazing in the paint and he's a very good 3 point shooter.
David The Boss
Kobe Bryant 🔥🔥😍😢
Kleiza once had 41 points in a game with Melo in Denver a few years ago
Kleiza had 50 points game
...SHAME...!...SHAME...!...SHAME...!
This was a beautiful game to watch, very intertaining👏👏👏👏👏👏
I always come back and watch this Team USA game the most it's the only game where they had to play real Basketball
Basketball is also Lithuania's most popular sport by far. In the USA its all about football.
Thank you Kobe
Nice game. All players are truly competitive. Congrats team usa.
I saw this live, one of the best moments ever.
I watched this game at the olympics actually in the arena but this is a great replay so i can see more details in the game! thanx for this vid!
No one cant stop usa except lithuania
Greece can
Daniel Cruz the point is basketball is not chinas national sport.
Anastasia Kanetouni 9 years ago...
philippines can
greece can cuz lithuanian teach couches :) how to play
I also felt like lebron was a massive team player in the London 2012
l love you lebrown james 💜
this is really exciting game!!! love it
OMG! this was the greatest game i ever seen ,lithuanians did so well...and good job to Lebron james and the USA team ... that was a awesoome game i fought lithuania will win but i forgot what USA can ...
Lithuanians* Lithuania*
***** yeah... so what...?? admit it ... Lithuanians can ball .... and they are like the 3rd best country at basketball
"greatest" i already see you don't know anything about lithuanian baskrtball
Funny thing is our basketball "godfather" (Lithuanian guy) played for US in 1936 olympics where he won gold and then in 1939 European gold with Lithuania. We have strong ties with basketball, there is just not enough of us to produce the talent in the amounts to rival you guys. I watched 92 Dream team live on tv when I was a boy. I still remember where I was when we got beat by 57 or something. No one compares to those players.
Holy Awful Audio Syncing Batman!
...shut...Up..!!
very nice team Lithuania... down by ONLY 5...
I think I know how Brits feel about Americans commenting soccer now
@Estela Lopez whooosh
Big heads off to Lithuania!
It is a true delight to see another country do this well against America. I am an American who grew up playing basketball and this game is a great testament to how well Lithuania is going to do in 2016. This Lithuanian team may win the gold in 2016.
Lebron, without Kobe, may have something to say about it. It will be a great game! I can't wait!
no team USA is too good now, no way in hell will Lithuania win gold next year.
+Dion Lyona Lithuania never had awesome - Blossome squad, what we do have - what is not geting older and serve us well from first EuroBasket till now is HEART!!!
+Olivia Waller Well half of this Lithuanian team is either retired or not playing on that high level.
+Dion Lyona I agree with that, team USA right may not have Westbrook, Curry, Kobe, Lebron, Davis, Kawhi, CP3, etc. Those individual talents were missing, but they have a better season right now. They used to rely on drive, and run n'gun game, but now that they are implying a new game style, and adding the great shooters on the team? it would be tough for any team to beat them.
+Totoy Bitoy right now*
And americans had the audacity to say this is just "team c"???
This is the best team of team usa they struggled against Lithuania lmao
is the audio delayed for anyone else?
Nope.
yes
An awesome match ❤️
I agree it's more than just a decent challenge
You can tell the announcers don't like the USA winning all the games
Right, it's almost like they WANT the other team to win. And we just keep on winning.
become man and play fair next time jewSA your doping
Hyena laughing matter first of I’m Jewish and the name JEWSA is a new one ( a plus for creativity) second of all. We play fair. We just were better.
@@canadianamericanpatriot2601 until you wake up to the true of reality.
wow Lithuania made the US sweats in this game ...
DAYUUMM ! What a good game !
Damn, It's so interesting how a country like Lithuania with only 3 million people would play this good. My Uncle's co worker who is Lithuanian who works as an auto mechanic said that his people there are very laid back. I mean laid back and I watch this game, wow.
We have not 3million , we have 2,5 million :/. But we all love this game and (Mes uz lietuva)
Lapinas Žaidžia 2.94 mln.
Jack Hoff Talent is everywhere bro, just saying.
the best players in USA, if you want to win, the most important key is the strategy
Is it just me or do the whistle sounds come way before the foul in this video? Is the audio messed up?
the sound is all messed up
every game between LTU and USA is a close one
24:17 spot the poker player HAHAHA ON YOUR BIKE
Sensaciona
is it only me or is audio before the video? wtf it's the OLYMPICS and they're screwing up videos!?!?
Haha def not you man. Weird!
Was there another game going on or is the sound not in sync with the video?
you are correct and it is really annoying
Miss you idol kobe
Kobe is great
Was there another game going on? This lineup was crazy.
Kleiza was a better leader for Lithuania than Domantas Sabonis and Valanciunas in 2021
decent challenge?? That is an understatement, ive never seen coach K sweat so much
its lithuanias 1 of the best games i seen them play
Are you still alive ?
background sound is ahead, so confusing specially on the whistle!
Sound is ahead
Who's here after Lithuania beat USA in the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup? Anyone here?🤗
Ayo!!!!!!
great game!
they have stars in their own league
Man I love this game!
Nahzzz, what happened with the sound?
#6 took over in the last 3 minutes, saved USA
Number 6 is lebron james
That "#6" is the best player on the face of the planet lol
Joao Simoes de Carvalho He said #6 like he's just some random guy
Especially since they kept calling out his name after he shot a basket.
If you don't know who #6 is .. u probably never even seen a basketball in your life lol
great game but bruh what's with that background sound, very distracting and annoying. it's even louder than the comentators.
they were very good team.
You should check out the Nigeria USA game. Melo hits 37 points in 15 mins 10/12 from 3???Crazy game
Thanks
well I'm just saying, and many people would agree that American teams rely too much on individual performance and skill, rather than teamwork and cohesiveness
Best team
What's this background noise? Sounds like they recorded two games sounds into one.
No, you are arguing childishly with someone over youtube about whether America is the better team at basketball... which we obviously are, while you should be aware of how we are slipping in the world competition.
Westbrook needs more shooting practice hours!!!!!
This shows that the US is no longer a dream team at +20 points. There were times when even students could go to the cup and win gold medals. Basketball has become very balanced and that's great.
Ahujienos rungtynes :D
Commentator is really dumb sometimes... Lithuania dont have expierience , Kleiza and JV was in NBA, Jasikevicius was in NBA, Songaila just come Back from NBA, and other guys was really good in Europe, I was always wonder why Dukes Marty didnt get his chance in NBA,
Pocius was amazing :) Even for Kobe he was hard to guard.
Sarunas Jasikevicius is a legend, but he nearly ruined the game with this turnovers. And for a deadly sniper as he is, Simas Jasaitis took just one shot and was doing poorly in defence. The rest of the team were just brilliant, especially Linas Kleiza.
1:51:35 Kobe pass to Lebron, not KD.
Nice to see Lithuania play well against the USA, the only team to give them a decent challenge.
Spain that year and now it's france
It would have been awesome to see D Rose in that Olympics if it weren't for his AC
46:49 lol hardens face
GOOD job Kalnietis !!!
Esse áudio está atrasado. Não é possível que seja só comigo
USA is still better. Not trying to devalue team here, but USA is all around far better. USA :can: play isolated because of their extreme talent, but can also pass extremely well if you look at their games. Lithuanians puts a decent amount of focus on basketball, and Lithuanians are generally large, which leads to a decent team. Props to Lithuania and USA.
isnt that a travel by kobe at 40:29 ? he jab with his right foot but before dribble his left foot alr start moving
L I T H U A N I A 🇱🇹
Close game...good game from the Lithuanians
