The Redeem Team Wins The Gold Medal By Beating Spain 118-107
USA’s basketball team won the gold medal which ended the 8 year drought at the Olympics. The team consisted of Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Michael Redd, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, and Tayshain Prince. This reassures the world that the best basketball players in the world reside in America.
SMH @ NBC not letting any footage of the games be shown online.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS. I have to complain a little. You have played with your rules, traveling is not allowed in FIBA basketball, only in the NBA, and that was not NBA, I don’t know what the referees were thinking, If you couldn’t see that, then you’re blind, period. What we have seen in these games is that USA has the best basketball league, and most of the best players, but you’re not as far as some of you think, put your feets on the earth, I’ve seen USA players more worried than ever. Congratulations again, I’m so proud of what my team have done today, I’m from Spain as you may have noticed. Peace.
August 24th, 2008 at 4:09 am
i was gonna give spain props but they are sore losers fuck em
Kobe bean Bryant
fuck a Paul Pierce
I dont understand when people say USA barely held off spain , what kinda final do people expect this aint women basketball, people play hard when its crunch time and you expect this kinda close game.
and DT complain wft the referee kept you spanish fucks in the game with all those ridiculous foul calls, Pau Gasol, Dirk are testament that your average players from europe are soft in the NBA, so stop complain
August 24th, 2008 at 4:16 am
straight classic. Rudy Fernandez made Howard his bitch. LMAO

That is NOT allowed on the olympic games, that’s all I said
August 24th, 2008 at 4:58 am
yeah thats the rason we won right by travelling
dude please
August 24th, 2008 at 4:58 am
reason
August 24th, 2008 at 5:02 am
That’s not the reason dude, what I meant is that we all have to play with the same rules, and they let you play woth yours, that’s not fair…
August 24th, 2008 at 5:03 am
with*
August 24th, 2008 at 5:07 am
FIBA vs NBA, 7 games, you lose, period.
August 24th, 2008 at 5:09 am
yeah thats why we beat top FIBA teams by an average of 25 point fuck out here
August 24th, 2008 at 5:15 am
How much money did you give to the referees?
Thanks for showing to all the world that you were helped by them.
Your team played with nba rules in a FIBA competition. This was more like a pressing catch or WWE game, your players eat for breakfast steroids and other similar sustances, they look as if they are donkeys or anything worse. Fuck them all, fuck ytou all.
All the world have seen that Spain is the real winner, easily.
By the way, all them bitch.
Pole position y tal.

Let’s leave a few things clear, ras, the best team in these games has been USA, I recognize that, but you have to recognize Spain has been a great rival today and we have to play with the same rules. Congratulations again.
I guess facilmente talks about FIBA allstar team, not sure about that. Peace
August 24th, 2008 at 5:29 am

August 24th, 2008 at 5:55 am

consoling myself with stats? lmao
I complained about rules, I’m not saying you didn’t deserve it
America should play with the same rules, period.
Congrats for the gold medal, and for the last world championship, oh! my bad, you lost in semifinals.
Damn, even if you recognice you’ve lost, there are people like you
August 24th, 2008 at 8:26 am
WHAT THE FUCKKK!
Kobe Was Good But Nothing Would Have Been Possible Without DWYANE WADE In That Game, 27pts, about 4steals, Wade Had The Best Game And He Didn’t Get Into Foul Trouble Like Kobe And Lebron.
But Congrats To The REDEEM TEAM!
August 24th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Kobe is the MAN first of all lets get that clear. THE GOLD IS coming home exactly where it should be. He picked up a MVP trophy and a gold medal. Hmmm…NBA title. LETS GO LAKERS !
TEAMS THAT WILL STRUGGLE THIS SEASON:
1.SPURS-to damn old.
2.MAVS-no HEART ! (lost to miami in 2006, lost to golden state in 2007, lost to new orleans 2008)
3.SUNS-they dont PLAY defense and shaq and nash are OLD and they have no bench.
4.ROCKETS-T-MAC loves to choke in the big spot light.
August 24th, 2008 at 8:46 am
That team has definitely reached a higher level than 92 dream team! At least during the 1st half…
August 24th, 2008 at 9:16 am
@RealTalkNY
NBC did pay like billions to rights to the video…
really its SMH @ Microsoft because they Silverlight online video shit is the reason why none of the video can be leaked out…
but their network is bullshit anyway for sports, ever since they let go of the NBA broadcasting back in 1996.
ESPN will be taking it over, in like 2016 i think..LOL..
LOL @ them talking about 8 years from now..
August 24th, 2008 at 9:34 am
LMAO @ D.T, Meigallo, FCero and facilmente who obviously is the SAME fucking person. Spain lost get over it and stop using different screen names.
August 24th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Brooklyn Stand Up
What?? Ask the admin if i’m the same person, then talk
August 24th, 2008 at 10:29 am
lol this is hilarious World championships don’t mean as much as the Olympics. this is what the USA has been gearing up for. What happened in the first game when we destroyed your team. ofcourse you will play better in the second game, It’s even more embarrasing to spain that they lost to the USA first then Lost again after they got all the film on them.
People who whine about rules are usually the Losers you ever notice that D.T.?
Get over it stop whining about rules. just say congrats like you have, and leave it at that. you would get alot more respect that way, otherwise you are just a hater
August 24th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Kobe won that shit for USA………without Kobe they would’ve lost this game, everyone but Kobe was scared to shoot in the 4th, Kobe was clutch.
August 24th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Dwayne Wade was overall the best player in Team USA throughout the tournament

who cares its only basketball lmao
August 24th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
The refs kept Spain in the game and gave them confidenece. They took Kobe and Lebron out the game early with some B.S. foul calls. Kobe came up killer at the end. If you keep a game close Kobe will come thru 80% of the time.
August 24th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
This was a sick ass game. Yes I stayed up and watched the whole thing.
I give Spain credit. They put up a good fight. They made some great shots and played a physical game.
At the end of the day you cant stop the US.
We invented basketball remember??
August 24th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
kobe MVP of the game wade MVP of the tournament
August 24th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
USA USA!!
August 24th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
“SMH @ NBC not letting any footage of the games be shown online.”
wtf are u talkin about. they showed every game online
August 24th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Good game, even though it was aired at 2 in tha damn morning.
Refs were too quick on the whistles, they started to chill in tha second half but i still would have liked to see more scrappy play.
Spain complains too much.
Wade won it for US, Kobe fanatics need to relax.
Ricky Rubio is ill, reminds me of a young Steve Nash, dude only 17 and hes been talked about as the basketball basketball player in the world who isnt in tha NBA.
and Young Trump are you slow? Basketball was invented by a Canadian, go cry yourself to sleep now LOL
August 24th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
lol @ RT, shoulda gotcha ass up at 2:30 like the rest of us did and watched the shit then. it was worth it! spain was getting on my damn nerves with all the whining and jumping up from their seats.
August 24th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
SMH@ Europeans talking about us not playing by the rules. The refs gave Spain so many touch fouls it was ridiculous. If Euros had to play real basketball AKA NBA rules Spain would have lost by 50!!!!! USA
August 24th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
MAN THAT GAME WAS TIGHT, I WAS AWAKE ALL DAY JUST TO WATCH THE GAME!!!
I THINK THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST BASKETBALL GAMES EVER!!!!
AND WHEN KOBE HIT THAT 3 POINTER PLUS THE FOUL AND SHHH THE CROWD, NOW THAT WAS SICK !!!!!
August 24th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
That Was Uh Good Ass Game ..I’m Glad Spain Played Their Best, Shid I Didn’t Stay Up All Night Just To See Uh Blow Out. But They Gave USA Everything They Had And Thats What I Expected .It Was For The Gold Medal So Don’t Just Think They Were Going to Come Out And Get Killed Like The First Game..But Anywayz Niggaz Givin Kobe All The Credit,Yeah Kobe Did His Thing .But Dwayne Wade Killed It, When Kobe And Lebron Was In Foul Trouble ..Who Came Off The Bench Gettin Steals .And Making Plays .And Scoring ? ..Dwayne Wade .But Actually The Whole Team Did Their Thing.
August 24th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
co-sign #54, that nigga Wade did his thing, without Wade USA could of been out of the game in the 1st quarter with LeBron and Kobe out.
All i got to say is…
Whos going to be on the 2012 roster?
August 24th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
shit.
i was just happy to watch deron williams and chris paul play point and 2 guard at the same fuckin time.
and kobe/lebron/wade on the court at the same time? vicious.
wasn’t too fond of howard and jason kidd tho.
boozer shoulda played more with bosh!
August 25th, 2008 at 9:58 am
The Redeem Team winning gold was far more impressive than the Dream Team. I dare someone to disagree.
August 25th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
@ Coston, I don’t disagree, but are you saying that the Redeem team is better than the Dream Team? I hope your not saying that.
P.S. Kobe MVP of the Game, D Wade MVP of the Tournament, and Lebron co-MVP of the Tournament because of his great all-around play.
Also: I’m Not so sure Kobe is the best player in the world/NBA anymore. I think Lebron or maybe even Wade is slowly taking that title away from him.
