We won the gold medal in basketball? What do you think?

Question

All I have to say is USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA! Thank you kobe. BOYAH! Also thank you D-WADE!

Answer 1

Spain was a worthy opponent but we just have too much talent. and we played hard D this time around, i'm proud of those guys! especially kobe, he really filled his role beautifully!

Answer 2

Redcorn you're a true ignorant basketball fan, have you watched the game? This is not the same Spain that team usa beat by 37 points they played like they were posessed give them credit instead of bashing USA for not winning by blowout. The next Olympics don't even expect blowouts.

Answer 3

boy howdy, yer gonna hate me. i was hoping the "redeem team" as is so named, didn't quite get it. actually i think it's c**p. no other athlete in any other sport in any other country in any other olympic session has guaranteed themselves a gold medal; except for men's usa basketball. in 2004, carmello anthony did.............bronze.  oops......... and now lebron james? when american basketball is without question the most corrupt sport in the union? let's reconsider a mild hint of humility before we start making the move to p**s off the rest of the world, ok? just an idea....

Answer 4

USA suck go Australia!!!! Also the Olympics suck!!!

Answer 5

Of course I'm glad they won the gold, but hopefully we can dispense of any talk of this team being anywhere near the original Dream Team.

You should be thanking Kobe as well as Wade though...he totally took over that game down the stretch.  Team USA would not have won the gold without him

As I predicted a week ago  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

After beating Spain by 37, they come back and win by only 11??  That's just embarrassing.  To be only up by 4 with 2 1/2 minutes left?  

The 1992 Team played Croatia in the Gold Medal game... and yeah, Croatia did better the second time around, too.  

When we played them the first time, we beat them by 33.

In the gold medal game, we beat them by 32...and that was the closest anyone got to us.

Long live THE Dream Team:

USA 116 Angola 48

USA 103 Croatia 70

USA 111 Germany 68

USA 127 Brazil 83

USA 122 Spain 81

USA 115 Puerto Rico 77

USA 127 Lithuania 76

USA 117 Croatia 85

There will never be another.

But congratulations to both Team USAs this time around.  Nice to finally have the gold back where it belongs!!

Answer 6

I kinda found it weird when they were given flowers because it seemed girly to me. No offense.

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM USA AND JASON KIDD AND DERON WILLIAMS!!! THOSE ARE MY 2 FAVORITE PGs IN THE NBA!!!

That game was so thrilling and physical. Spain gave it a fight. They were crushed in the other game vs. US but they put it behind them and really gave us an exciting game. Rudy Fernandez was good but he fouled out. Dwight Howard seemed kinda frustrated. I feel pity for Boozer and Redd who only played for 25 seconds.

Answer 7

Yeah, LeBron deserves a lot of credit. He played like a team player rather than being the usual ball hog. It takes a long time to understand that you need to pass the ball, but LeBron took only 2 games.

Wade really pulled through when they needed him. I love you, Wade!

Kobe took over the game when they needed him to.

Answer 8

Spain demonstrate today that the differences between USA and the other are not high.

Answer 9

I thought U.S. did show some guts but they should be a little embarrassed in their D.  Did spain teach the U.S. to be bull fighters and the Spaniard's being the bull because the U.S. was going OLE and letting them into the lane. Well this olympics putting 4 guards and a center worked lets see if it could work for future competitions.

Answer 10

My hat's off to Spain for making Lebron and Kobe REALLY earn their medals.

My hat, shirt and shoes off to KOBE for those 2 assists and that "shut-the-h**l-up" 4 point play.

Answer 11

There will never ever be another DREAM TEAM!

Answer 12

about ******* time they should have never lost!!.

Answer 13

USA is great but I'll give it to SPAIN, they have a VERY good team.

Answer 14

They did not win in a blow out so I do not think it is so impressive.

Answer 15

i think it is great that usa 1 the gold i am  from australia but i am happy for u guys good luck in all the other events!!

Answer 16

i think lebron James deserves more credit than those 2 any way D-WADE did an awesome job 2! & USA's last match did not impress me that much although i'm a big fan!!
