In this video, BasketNews’ Augustas Suliauskas analyzes why they should be in every fan’s top 3 contenders to win the Olympic gold and the main secret that makes it all click.

errr....they lost....lebron beat them.....
As a German I don’t care if they win or lose because that doesn’t matter if they play great. And this team is so much fun to watch…I am so proud of these guys!
wahre worte. das team kann an dieser stelle nichts mehr verlieren, finde ich. olympia ist die sahne auf der torte.

Why not root for Greece? 😂🤔
@@alexjvee6836 anyone
@@alexjvee6836 to be honest, I hate Lebron
Lithuania would have humbled them coming from an German unfortunately they are not there
@@pahountisgYou’re pathetic, Lebron is your king 👑
"only for Bonga to brick it"
That sent me lol. I really hope he finds his rhythm again.
Brick-Bingo-Bonga will have his come back against France. His weakness during the test-games makes him incalculable for the Olympic Games. He will make it personal, to show of
Looked good vs Japan!
Looked very good vs Brazil
Bonga seems automatic from the corners in the Olympics. To be exact, he's 3/5 from the corners in the first two games and have added 1/1 in the 1st half vs France, too! Looking super sharp in the tourney
USA Fans need to be humbled. As a German, I actually love this USA team, just look at the legends on this roster. The only reason ppl cheer against them are their fans, they are so ridiculously arrogant it’s kinda crazy
I mean....how can you not be "arrogant." We've got the best international scorer of all time (KD), the best shooter of all time (Steph) and arguably the GOAT in Lebron.
At what point is it okay to be arrogant if not now?
@@sfdko3291 after you've won
@@jaspersanders8173 We won three years ago. Those bragging rights carry over until the next olympics.
@@sfdko3291you have no respect for others, that's the reason. And USA will not win the gold metal, because they are still not a team.
You’re not wrong. I’m born and raised in the USA. Many USA basketball fans use the players’ willingness to forgo international competition as an excuse for losing in the FIBA World Cup. It’s disrespectful to the countries that put their best foot forward. Ring culture helped to cause this sort of dismissiveness of international competition. The “avengers” only got together for these Olympics because Dillon Brooks dropped 39 to help Canada strip the USA of a medal in 2023. That sour taste was enough to get these players to care.
Agreed, Germany is a very good team that can go all the way. They didn’t win the World Cup by mistake, even though they will face much tougher competition this time around
They are familiar with Euro teams participating in Olympics since they play them in Eurobasket.
They would not have won it had Serbia played their best team. The competition is too strong this time around.
@@AbcDino843 nobody can tell! they won fair and square.
@@AbcDino843 Nobody knows. I want to see a healthy Serbia performing with jokic and Bogdan playing together. In the last couple of years Serbia was playing it's best basketball when Bogdan was the number 1 guy.
@@ricoros8259 not saying it wasn't fair and square, but if we're talking about their chances of winning the gild in olympics, it's fair to put it in perspective of the competition then and now.
Hartenstein said he'll commit after the Olympics which should give them more rim protection. Golden generation, too bad Dirk missed that
He missed that because he caused that :D
Dirk walked so that these team can run.
And Tristan da Silva will very likely be on the national team starting next year. We will have 2 brother pairs on the team which is extremely rare
Ariel Hukporti and Washington are in radar too, and they'rere very qualitative players
@@mandibiedermann2246 A Washington commitment would be huge for Germany. Cause I think Lo will step down after the Olympics. He is north of 30 and has a pretty big injury history. So I wouldnt be suprised if he is going to prioritise this club career from here on out.
Germany has a plathera of good young quality bigs. So the future is bright in the frontcourt. Hukporti, Grünloh, da Silva... lots of options, even without Hartenstein! So if Theiss/Voigtmann step down too (as I think they will) we should be fine.
Nice that someone actually acknowledges it. The disrespect to them is real right now among many ppl.
They don't have a chance. Same for Spain in football World Cup.
@@miso1995srb spain in the world cup?
right after they beat Italy, Germany, France and England? I need whatever you're smoking
@@njbrx It is not the same. Spain has the most Euros won than any other country, but they have only 1 World Cup. They are good but they won't win next one.
@@njbrx Spain can't bribe their way through international competitions though.
We all know how much uefa refs love Spanish team just look at every Madrid UCL game and the non given penalty in Spain vs germany
@@JB-fd8jy a lotta coping and whining is what i read
I want a Schroder Team Germany jersey. He's must watch tv in international play.
well its about 95 Euros from german Peak-Shop or the official DBB-fanshop and 105 Euros in the world cup champion edition, in my opinion thats a tough price
Just get from turkish basar bro
@@bamiyamoto8187 not a bad call, but i am not sure, if the size will really fit and if the Ö is not an O for example :D
@@CKay1987 dude, turkish people are born with the Ö xD
If I remember correctly, you did a more or less similar video about Germany before the World Cup and we did win the whole thing, hope you are correct again 😁
I love Johannes Voigtmann (not just because I coach at his old club). Such a smart big - who wouldn't want him on your team? He opens up a world of possibilities, defends smart&hard, and will never do anything stupid on the ball or off, all while wowing absolutely nobody with his quickness.
Does a Shit ton of Work behind. A Lot of stuff you wont notice
Nice analysis, some watch alongs would be cool when the games start. Schroder is a great player in some aspects but has a tendency to chuck 3s which was frustrating to watch last night.
Thanks, we will try to have some analysis of the Olympics, too.
I thought the same thing. He did make a few early on. But I thought there were some attempts towards the end of the game that he could have done better. It was a great game. Germany play a great game. DS is a great player
@@freeatlast1810 Yep not only him. Germany sadly shot very poor from 3 during that 4th quarter against team USA, which cost them the game. If they shoot their regular percentage they would have won it.
I actually like that. He’s very confident in himself when playing for Germany, and tbh him chucking up 3s was a big reason on why we won the World Cup
3 / 11 ...
Having a well rounded team won them the world cup. Having that same team available for olympia will be great.
It's also really fun to watch them finishing a play, while they have a perfect shot since 2-3 passes already.
Es ist Obst im Haus🙏🙏
Just look at that beautiful basketball. That's the type of chemistry that you only develop by playing with each other for a long time.
"... only for Bonga to brick it." thats one denied climax right there. The whole build up was so exciting that the ending was just a cherry on top. lol
It's scary now that the germans have evolved their basketball so fast like they are that good in soccer
It's called football
Football*
please dont jinx it, our football team is terrible right now
@@schlachsahne884Our CURRENT national football team is quite good again, but the one from 2016 onwards, yea let’s not talk about it…
@@schlachsahne884uhm wtf we literally almost won the euros considering we barely lost to spain
Other teams might have better individuals but Germany always is the better team playing team
Franz and Schröder are great individuals
Gordon Herbert deserves to be in the basketball hall of fame, said it 2yrs ago, said it last year and will say it in a couple weeks too
This video is aging like fine wine as Germany is headed to the gold medal game!
I feel like there are as many as maybe eight teams that have a legit shot at winning gold, depending on how the ball bounces on the day :)
USA, Canada, Serbia, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, Greece (in no specific order). The pressure is on and I can't wait for the games to start!
For me Germany is one of 5 teams with real Finals chances. USA, Canada, France, Serbia, Germany... some might put Spain in there too, but I just dont think they are good enough at the top. Same is true for Australia. Both teams are deep, but they have clear holes in some parts of the game. But of course those teams can also beat basically everyone on a perfect day.
Overall it will come down to matchups in the knockout rounds. So yes, Germany can reach the finals again if everything works perfectly. But as a german I would be more then happy with winning any medal. Cause it would give the right ending for this era of german basketball. Herbert is leaving after the Olympics, and some players will most likely step down as well (thinking about Theiss, Voigtmann, Lo, Giffey, maybe even Schröder). The team made a commitment in 2019 for 5 years. And they did great things during this timespan. Bronze at Eurobasket 22, Gold at the World Cup 2023, now another medal at the Olympics and this would be the best Era in German Basketball overall.
So siehts aus! Ausserdem macht es doch Spass die grossen USA zu ärgern.
@@lindameermann3760 you won't be annoying the US, quit dreaming
@@mdsouz4our mere existence angers you lol
The ball they play is just so nice to watch. Love the amazing pass sequences and teamplay!
Hartenstein isn't there because he is expecting his first child I think. The only one that could be there but there might be a little beef is Kleber. And I'd take good chemistry over a stretch 5 everyday as I don't think kleber brings more to the table than a thiemann or moe wagner
Great TEAM. Its a pleasure to watch them play
Denis is the biggest factor germanys wins. We have to really focus on denis. He is the key point.
When team USA becomes hot. We (germany) have no chance. But the german team has the advantage of playing together for a long time. In the end it is maybe not only about the numbers
Off course we have a chance. This ain’t nba show basketball, it’s actual basketball and you can see the us team having there problems with not being able to travel across the field and so on.
Germany is a great team, they are well balanced in size, speed and shooters.
Nice to hear Schroeder's name pronounced authentically. Hard sound for us Yanks to make. Your English commentary is knowledgeable, entertaining, and free of the accesses of some of your less professional competitors.
As a German: it was not authentically, but everyone here would appreciate that he at least tried.
France might be the most overhyped team. They have not performed well in exhibition games, losing to Canada even with Gobert and Wembanyama playing. Canada has some very good NBA players, but its not the same number of All-Stars the Americans have. If France can't beat Canada they don't have a chance.
Germany just has a great overall team with great chemisty. They are even still missing Hartenstein and Kleber, who are propably 2 of their 5 Top player on paper. Theis is also very underrated and some NBA Team should finally wake up and pick up Obst.
Great analysis of a great Championship team 🏀🇩🇪
This was such a great video. I enjoyed it a lot.
thanks a lot!
IF GRMANY WINS GOLD, NBA IS finished.
Well.. Germany is current fiba champ and the nba is not finished yet😅
A comment about the statement around 9:46 that they didnt change the squad from the world cup one
Not completly correct (unless my english skills fail me here), they switched two players from the world cup team Justus Hollatz and David Krämer for Nick Weiler-Babb (who played in the 2022 EM) and Oscar da Silva
Altho Justus Hollatz and David Krämer both played very low minutes in the world cup, so the 10-man core is the same
Good Video btw
Nick Weiler-Babb only missed the Wolrdcup due to injury. If healthy, he would have been on the team for sure.
@@michaelm.3686 yup, another good option for defensive lineups. Glad he is back with the team.
Adding to that, Hartenstein himself didn't want to play, because he just became a dad.
I once again notice that FIBA Team Basketball is actually more entertaining than high octane highlight run and shoot in the NBA
But it could also just be a change of pace
There is more room for upset in FIBA play. Shorter game, shorter 3 point line, 1 game matchups (not 7 game series like the NBA). Lose once & likely no gold medal for you. A team can upset you via a hot shooting streak like south sudan in their first half against USA (FG% was over 60% which is insane). You can lose by shooting poorly (USA shot 25% from 3 against south sudan). Players have improved internationally. USA is not playing well together right now. Their team compositions (players that have received more minutes) so far favor popularity rather than efficiency. It's setting themselves up for an upset. Curry for example has been shooting terribly for most games & he is old, but will likely get more minutes due to his fame. Embiid is another liability that teams continue to attack. Maybe things will change in actual tourney but so far it looks like USA is setting themselves up for failure strategy wise.
Great Video! Thank you for making content on German national team :)
Germans play great basketball
We are underestimated like Spain in Football before their second title. We have a golden generation but we are still not a super power in BBall. But this Generation is golden and there is coming more. Maybe we will be become an power like Spain, France or Serbia in the future. I trust them to go the whole way.
France never was powerful in basketball, they're just overrated & overhyped by mainstream media and social media
This aged badly :(
Make Andi Obst great so he can joyn the NBA
he won`t join the nba. He said he will play in euroleague and bbl
@@roadrunner2343 cause he didnt get offers yet
@@monahainz5904 we dont know if he got offers or not but after the worldcup it wouldnt suprise me that he got offers and declined them
he got some. after the first few years in the BBL I think.
@@monahainz5904nba crowd is so boring the only offer nba has is money but if you don’t care about that why go there. Apart from the fact that the USA is like a glamorous 3 rd world countr
Germany are definitely medal contenders, and this could also be the first Olympics where the US don't get a medal.
Even you don't believe that
only time will tell
Come on now. Dont give in to reactionary media getting your hopes up
BABBLE!
@@BIuezy It's not about believing - it's about probabilities. The Olympic format is unforgiving compared to the past: teams again have only 3+3 games, instead of 5+3, and this means that one bad game can ruin everything - for anyone. The US is definitely going to be in the quarter-finals, but they might end up against a tough team that had a bad game in group play and is now ready to bounce back; and if the US is going to have it's off day against this team...it will go down to the wire.
German here, nice video, but most of all, this team is awesome no matter what, so much great talent and basketball finally!
Basketball this coming Olympics is the most exciting. No team is safe!!!
Thank for the really nice breakdown. these guys are the world champions of Basketball! so of course they might have a shot!!
as a few more of the other teams (Sudan, Australia Serbia etc), needed 1-2 more players (especially a top center or playmaker) to win USA, as they brought 12 -their best, to secure a win at last, while all the others have 6-7.
As a lifelong Philly 76ers fan, Shroeder reminds me so much of Iverson in his prime it's not even funny
its not just the germans. every european team plays better basketball than the US because they dont rely on isolations and athleticism. we learn how to cut, block, pass and move from a very young age.
yet the US has won 16/20 olympic golds. Quit talking out of your backside. There's in playing "better" basketball if you can't win.
😂😂😂😂😂 why the us win 16 in the highest competition
@@loiteringrambler1268 Hahaha, how does that silver medal taste Europe?
bald gibts wieder obst!
Bro i find this guy everytime theres an international cup
Great breakdown of Team Germany! I agree 100% - But there' no cure for team USA
Hartenstein is getting a baby, that's why he isn't in the team
d 1 glazer
No basketball knowledge
They have a fantastic team. In terms of play and chemistry
talk about what will happen to team usa if they don't win the gold.
not favorites but second place is a doable
Suddenly my favorite in these Olympic games are Germany. Anything but the US!
Theis is nice! :)
You'll be disappointed
Still betting on ssd lol 😂
Great video and it all cames down to the point that the US and the world can ve grateful to us germans that we are the world Champions and humiliated your team last year! Because that is why we all can see the dream team this year and if they win against us at the olympics so what we are still the world Champions then 😉
Thank you!!!
There are some countries in Europe that can always go all the way in any team sport.
Well Serbia was supposedly one of them but they ate dust.
Germany is literally the 2014-2015 Atlanta Hawks. Schroeder was on the Hawks, Obst is Korver, Franz is Millsap, Theis/ Mo are budget Horfords. Both teams have/had elite ball movement and an overachieving team that knows how to play and at time looked better than Lebron's teams.
That is until Lebron swept them in the playoffs.
It doesn't matter if Lebron is 29, 39, 49, or 59 he's not losing to Schroeder and Theis and he's definitely not losing while surrounded by a team of superstars.
Lebron had 20/6/4 points on 8/11 FGs in 18 minutes against Germany. Germany has no answer for him that doesn't destroy their entire defense. When the games get serious, Lebron is going to play 30+ minutes and the U.S. is going to win.
Then Lebron better hope He doesn't have to play South Sudan again 😅
@@thefriendlyfinger69LeBron is playing against Southsudan at the.Olympics again, since Dream Team USA is in the same group with Southsudan 😅
great vid
Dude, they got like no coverage after the world cup win because football (soccer) of course needed to make it about them once again in Germany.
Still glad it shifted the view of Basketball in Germany at least a bit. I'm not alone on my court anymore 😅 Hopefully the Olympia Coverage about/for Germany will be better & Basketball will grow further.
But tbh also, they struggled during the World Cup alot & Serbia was there with a very young Team.
I don't care who wins, everyone deserves it because no entertainment issues like in the NBA & it will take skill & good team effort (of course some bad calls gonna happen, it is what it is)
The pressure on Team USA is something that shouldn't be underestimated either because as physical as hooping is, it's also a mental game ALOT!
OMG, nobody told the international refs not to call fouls on Bron? That's gonna be fun to watch.
Na. Against a full strength US team we have no chance. Nobody has.
We already played them and it was close
We have. They are arrogant.
As a german, who suffered from the bad teams in the years past dirk, the last two tournaments were heaven for me. And this Olympics will be too, no matter how successful the get.
After this, I think Dennis will retire from national competition and I don't think there is an adaquate replacement right now as point guard. Will be a problem.
Washington is ideal to replace Schröder
@@mandibiedermann2246 Haven't seen much of him. But isn't her more of a shooter than playmaker?
@@dp4925 but when making playmaker would be necessary, he will do that. Cus he is very good in ball playing
Honestly I think team USA did not show their best basketball yet. However same will go for some teams. South Sudan has peaked immensly already wheraes is feel teams like Serbia and Germany can pick it up a notch. Aside from Canada, Serbia and Germany i don't see any team beat them, but those three have a standing chance especially in a play off round afther the group stages.
US will just have to switch everything and put bam or AD at center, small ball and switch everything will fix all this actions
Imagine they could have added Hartenstein on the roster.
Shame Kleber had the falling out with the team as he would be great too. Had the feeling yesterday that swapping those two in for some of the more mediocre players perhaps Bonga and Da Silva (DNP yesterday) would make them scary. Still think they'll challenge though.
Don't think Kleber would help them a lot. And Hartenstein became a father so he chose not to play.
TDS too. Lit up summer league
@@jTA597 Kleber 😂 that guy is a joke on the Mavs
@@jumbokevin You sir know nothing about basketball...
Where can you watch all Olympic Games live?
Frankly, team USA is not going to flop again with this stacked roster in the Olympics. Legendary veterans and rising stars will be the backbone of team USA eviscerating the rest of the world.
Bro...they didn't even place.
Damn
Well, the germans... team bonding, organization, communication, personal ego takes a break for teamwork and then BLITZKRIEG!
Just kidding about the last one, but i remember in middle school when we learned to play basketball in school, our sports teachers were trying to teach us that in step 2: space out, break free, hand gestures to communicate in attack. It felt like as a basketball player, you'd need 3 extra pairs of eyes: One to see where you running, one for the ball, one for the team mates and one for the other team.
I put my bet on US, France and Germany sharing medals. I dont know teh sequence though
Im german and they won't
About the integration of Hartenstein or last year Kleber, they committed for a three year span so that they can build automatism and a team spirit ... And avoid cherry picking, that the stars just play the olympics, and the rest either dont qualifiying for it, or watching there succes from the couch.
But about Hartenstein in generell i am not even sure, he wanted to play this year - and Kleber isnt helping that much anymore.
The roles and teamwork are the real key for the team, talent wise we germans aint bad but i believe many nations are better. it is hard to explain, but you will the intensivity of this team - and you have the feeling that they ar e friends even when they argue with each other.
5 year commitment in 2019... and Kleber was part of that 2019 WC team that commited itself. But he was injured in 2022 after a long PO run. Schröder just didnt belive him and wanted him off the team. So Maxi did the right thing by stepping down. And Hartenstein would be on the roster (for DaSilva), but he is expecting his 1st child right when the Olympic tournament is going on. Hence why he withdrew.
Well, it is practically the same team that is ruliing world champions, I am also in wonder why they are so low rated. It stands that many last year contenders comes now stronger than last year, starting with USA, Serbia, Cannada and France, but again, they will for sure pass to elliminaton phase and from quarterfinnals, everything is possible... After all, I didn't believe in them to pass last year USA team in semi-final, not to talk about Serbia, but they did it ...
World champions of what exactly? They're world champions because they beat a bunch of teams missing their best players? Did they have to face a single top 10 player in the world? No? No jokic? No giannis? No Luka? No SGA? No American superstars? Sorry, but calling them 'world champions' is a joke. The winners of the fiba world cup will never be a world champion, thanks to the simple fact that they don't actually play the best.
@@krisxchirbas9503 Oh, but there was Luka Dončić and SGA, you know, this season 2nd and 3rd MVP candidates... And there was no Giannis becasue HE DIDN'T qualify, and God knows he tried giving 40 points to Serbia in qualification game, playing maybe the game of his life, but it still was not enough...
You know what, on FIBA national team rankings, USA is still on 1st place, but that Germans you scorn are 3rd, just couple of hundred points behind, so if they get better placement on this Olympics than USA, they will surpass them on ALL TIME FIBA ranking list. ALL TIME, my friend...
P. S. And the reason is that Germany probably plays 10 time more international games than USA. So again, you don't compette, you pick and choose, and then ask to be recognized as best. Sorry, it doesn't work that way...
If they win again, Dennis Schoreder will become the greatest German player of all time.
Yeah don't know about that
Maybe he will. But Dirk will always be bigger because he was the first.
@@xxklesx1 and better. There is no comparison lol
The disrespect to Dirk is unreal with that comparison....
Germany did change 2 Players for the olympics
Serbia in that finals actually played bad. Germany cant win another one. Either Usa or Serbia wilk stop it. But France was great tonight as well. So we'll see, but honestly, Germans dont have more than the others at all. They are good of course, but others in semis are as well. Its hard to beat usa though this year, first Serbia, than if they come through again. They really brought best players. But after this Serbia win. Man, best game of the tournament. Than France beat Canada in also great game. I like it. 😁 its just great to watch. 😁😁😁
So many examples of Germany not being able to convert regardless if there is good player movement. Can’t win gold if you can’t convert plays to points
i dont care who wins. i just want the US to lose and be humbled. "World champion of what?" BUT wE pLaYeD WiTh ThE B-tEaM - Just admit that the rest of the world is on equal footing and change the NBA Banners.
Wake up wake up. I see you can’t hear me you are stuck in that Genjutsu from the Sharingan. Now Let me know when you wake up from that dream & you are living back in reality
This is just glazing, I can tell the biase as you never mentioned the weakness of the german team while focusing on the in the US video. And no the german offense is not unstoppable as proven in the late game vs the US. After all this time top european teams can barely beat a US team without continuation.
Yup he’s biased, just like y’all are 💀 the only reason ppl hating on the usa team is their fans. Y’all can’t cut us some slack. Before these exhibition games y’all said you’d win every single game by such a large margin, they’re unbeatable and what not, the new dream team.
Now that they look very beatable y’all be changing up saying "actually the only thing that matters is taking the W ☝🏻🤓" Instead of just acknowledging other teams for once, you’d rather die than doing that
@@Mika-me3og My problem is that, every video about the US has no balance. Its always the bad side. Just like the video about the germans is all positive but their issues are not stated. The US is the most successful Men's basketball team of all time, of course they're confident, anyone would be, just look at every successful team and their fans in Futbol. Ya'll just hating for no reason.
@@spicykaraage641 11monhs ago when LTU beat USA you couple times mentioned that by huge talent advantange of USA All stars formed nationial team will beat any European team easily and tactitcs won't help.

I do not have memory problems and youtube history saves comments for 3 years, anyone could easily find everything. You quite often comment in baskenews channel and pretend to understand European basketball and Usa basketball well, but today Serbia showed how poorly you understand it and overestimate USA basketball. Baskenews videos maybe to deep for you, commenting on Stephen A. Smith and a like videos could be more useful.
Serbia is definitely winning gold. They finally have a somewhat healthy roster and they are playing beautiful basketball right now. Team USA is playing awful
why? usa beat serbia badly...
We shouldn’t underestimate ANY team 🤷🏻♂️
Lmao USA just beat them by 30… No chance
@@slefferz8479I am not Serbian nor American the game was super odd. It seems like Serbia let themselves get destroyed on purpose. They were head to head till halftime then all of a sudden they forget to play ball and lose by 30 no chanceee. The Serbians did that on purpose I am super convinced on that.
@@aewisjericho8848I agree. Coach Pesic didn’t even waste a timeout in the second half. USA biggest weakness is their arrogance and underestimating their competition. 12 All Stars / NBA legends do not make a perfect team. Go world basketball 🏀🔥🏀
Maodo is 🔥🔥🔥
Germany and Canada are the two teams who can put problems to usa but I don't think they can beat them
It’s seems like they memorized as a team plays for every situation. That’s very German and to a lesser extent European of them. People like to talk about the superior fundamentals of the Europeans but I think their memorization of team-plays are as noteworthy.
Pahahaaaa what a yoke 😂
And I say that as a German
How is Bronny in the NBA!
Is Germany counting as a Dark Horse on this Olympics? Even as WC, they feel like, Spain in the football euros before the tournament: individual some strong Players, but no really Allstars/HoF-Players and a System, which was envolved over the last years, where everyone got clear roles and also shows/helps to find the strongest side of each squad member. From what i saw, Germany is playing the best Team-Basketball.
Franz soon to be all star
Hey man. USA is coming in with a chip on their shoulder. I hope they come in and play with no mercy but like them the European sides should never underestimate, especially the US squad.
Germany is for sure solid! Side note: Love to see everyone trashing Team USA knowing a few weeks from now those same people will complain how unfair it is because of population size. Which one is it?
High chance for them to get knocked out this year. I would not be so cocky right now... Serbia did not play full speed in the 2nd half, germany missed ton of open shots in the 4th quarter. Both of these teams will be scary for team USA if they meet them in the knockout stage.
@@MrSheduurSerbia was down by double digits before the second half, they will get blown out again. If you think there is a high chance they don't win gold, you are truly delusional
@@MrSheduur You're giving the benefit of the doubt to the teams that lost instead of the team that won when everything you just mentioned can also be said about the US (who will only gain chemistry with each game). Not to mention they haven't even had KD yet who's the best scorer in Team USA history.
Nobody would be saying that 💀 the only reason ppl are trashing the Usa are their fans and their arrogance. Y’all couldn’t cut us some slack even if it would mean dying a horrible death
It is not the population size that influences. It is the attention that each country gives to the sport. The most followed sport in the world is football and basketball is just another sport. Sorry. Most of the kids learn to play football and their dream is to become football starts. Football also moves a lot of money, the media is much more focused on football than basketball. As a result in some countries we have less high level basket players to choose from because all those kids had chosen football instead. The same reason applies to USA with football. If you'd gave the same importance to football than basket you will probably be in the elite but for you it is just another sport.
Germany just won the World Championship one year ago. Their team chemistry and tournament savviness can't be underestimated.
Aged like milk
How is that?
it did not
People saying USA needs to be humbled. Bro we were humbled by South Sudan. Sure we won but we know this isn’t going to be a cake walk and we should win gold. Upsets happen, and if anybody knows that it’s the two best players of team USA and the coach. 2016 was one of the biggest upsets of all time. America got humbled. We just haven’t been beaten down. I think theirs a lot of people just wishing on the downfall of USA because LeBron and because nobody likes when a nation just dominates besides the nation that’s dominating. I think this will be the last Olympics were USA is favored for gold in the Olympics but people just being salty. Just remember almost every country is better then USA in soccer, football, so be happy about that
