***OFFICIAL GOLD MEDAL GAME*** Thread: USA vs Spain

[trainTilfailure]

so happy for USA. bron, kobe, cp3, melo, all leaders..

[regGQ]

If Gasol plays like that this season goodnight sweet NBA

[Fahnestock]

Gotta give it up to Pau Gasol & Spain. They played USA as good as they could.
Just missed some easy shots down the stretch.

Seriously, Pau needs to play like that in LA. If he did they'd be impossible to stop.

[darkninja67]

Durant is the GOAT FIBA scorer, but I think LeBron might be MVP of this team.

Had to guard PF and Centers all Olympics. Scored at high % plus rebounds and assists

This

They guy just does it all on both end of the floor.

[DaBest12]

Mad respect to Pau/Spain, pushing us to the edge for sure.

CP3's layup was sick.

[dan213]

communist kobe refuses the american flag.

[regGQ]

Then you think that this team isn't even the best the NBA has to offer...

Ranjo (might be un-blacklisted after Coach K leaves)
Rose
Wade
Howard

[StrongM477]

LeGoat.

Kobe: "I'll be in Rio supporting them"

translation: I'll be in Rio to continue my smash-fest and to continue my smash-fest alone.

[CCAurora]

Why do more players from Spain not get signed to the NBA? Its clear they can hang with all-star-caliber NBA players.

[waias15]

Lol kobe fans always so butthurt

Your negs reek of bitterness

no bosh? he's a better fiba player than love and the brow

[paralyticileus]

craig with the most awkward interview questions ever:

"kevin how were you able to play with the man who took away your chance at an NBA championship"

a lot of them prefer the euroleague srs, and not everyone's game translates well into the nba

Fuking this.

I cringed at him asking that

[RobotDeathSquad]

Why? nba has more $ no?

[gswarrior510]

sager is such a ***got for that question

[PerfectFormForever]

Fu** I just woke up, I guess USA won but can someone give me cliffs on the game? Who played good, who played bad.

[StreetSharks]

Why? nba has more $ no?

depends

rudy got a better contract overseas

[RobotDeathSquad]

KD, Melo and Kobe... fantastic olympic games.

[wifestealer]

Why? nba has more $ no?

not necessarily, if you're a superstar then yes but there is lots of money to be made in europe. i'dalso assume many of them want to stay near friends and family, as well live in their home country.

pau gasol and jcn played like beasts for spain, ibaka was solid. marc gasol had 4 fouls in the 2nd quarter and was a non-factor
kobe, lebron and durant took turns being alphadog. tight game throughout, refs were a bit quick on the whistle which was annoying.

if anyone played bad, melo wasn't his best, iggy was forgettable, chandler didn't do what he was meant to do (defend well) and harden sucked for all of the 37 seconds he was on in garbage time

[RandyJacked]

Could have been closer/more interesting if Marc didn't have 4 fouls in the 1st half...good watch.

10/10.

I like how people are hating on Kobe and Lebron for some mistakes down the stretch, but are dickriding the **** out of Durant just because he has 30 points.. yeah, but Lebron and Kobe were more efficient..Isn't that what you ***gots obsess over? Be consistent then.


and stfu about Lebron's airball, big deal. He hit a huge 3.


all 3 are clearly the best players in the world (with healthy Dwight, Wade and Rose right there)

Weren't you doing the same exact thing with Kobe when he scored 20 against Australia off of 6/14 shooting and 3 turnovers? Strong consistency....
2-6 against France
2-5 against Tunisia
6-8 against Nigeria
3-10 against Argentina
6-14 against Australia
5-10 against Argentina
5-10 against Spain

Faaaaar from the model of consistency this tournament, yet you fanboys still can't take Kobe's dick out of your mouths

[feardafronfz3]

not to mention he probably lead Team USA in turnovers as well
