How Puerto Rico Upset Team USA in 2004 Olympics | Point Gods of Puerto Rico

[@lazywallstreetnews7234]

I’m born and raised in Puerto Rico. This game happened in August 2004 and we were in school at the time, I’d just turned 15. We watched the game on the big screen TV in the library in our school in Mayagüez, on the west coast and the town JJ Barea grew up in. (Fun fact, we’re from the same neighborhood, he grew up 6 houses down from me)… Anyway, the game started out pretty even and then we broke away. The second half was a beat down and by the time it was over, me and my friends were jumping up and down in the library, tears in our eyes at we just witnessed and it was amazing! To this day I still flex my shirts the way Carlos Arroyo did at the end of the game when they took him out. That has become an ICONIC image in Puerto Rican basketball history. Good times.

This is Great Puerto Rico got a lot of Basketball History I think is needed to do more things like this we love the Game and we are Huge fans of the NBA we got a lot of knowledge of the league I hope the league continue doing stuff like this for PR they deserved, they should make a Jose Piculin Ortiz Documentary that’s gonna be Lit 🔥 Thank You Bobito great Job And let’s don’t forget this 3 points God Angelo Cruz Fico Lopez Toñito Colon 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro Lebron didn’t even play that year. He was a young 19 yr old rookie. You didn’t beat the true Lebron 😂

Great pic of history right here for the game of basketball❤

[@edwardcerrano4893]

Carmelo should off played with Puerto Rico he's half Puerto Rican and he would off never loss 2004 Olympics beating USA is like beating a cheat team

[@raulinazario9462]

He had that chance because Tempo talk to him but he did not want it

[@skirunners]

Arroyo came out no where and shook the world~ Still remember that game

[@alexcolon1422]

Los "tres" reyes... "3" point gods... no no no no no no no. Alvarado just played one of his first games with the national team... he can't be put in the same category to Arroyo and Barea, you crazy? You wanted a 3rd player, Piculin, or a 3rd guard, Ayuso; or you could have talked about old school players like Neftali, Monchito, Quijote, Dalmau...

[@koolboblove]

This is not the full version, hold tight for that! We mention Butch Lee, Georgie Torres, and James "True" Carter in that one :)

[@koolboblove]

Piculín is in a category by himself for all he's done, Dalmau, Ruben Rodriguez, Quixote, on and on, but the focus here is only point guards, not any other positions

[@koolboblove]

@@ACBHR Juan Vicens gets mentioned in the full version as well that will air on NBATV soon, least I hope they kept that part cuz I certainly included him as a Point God from the ‘50s-60s :)

[@freshpr796]

When Carmelo decide to represent USA that was a super boost for the puertoricans team . You betrayed a puertoricans you will pay . 😂

[@shodannadohs4045]

Then he would have betrayed the US and Americans would have made him pay and pay.

I live PR but idk about I love my PR but Alvarado isn’t a point god or not yet atleast….can’t put him with Arollo and Barea yet it’s too early! My boys Mike Rosario and Gaston been playing for PR for a few years now

[@BryceZehn]

I think Team USA would of won the 2004 gold medal if Lebron and Carmelo got more minutes

[@Bruce15TT]

Didn’t have Larry brown*

[@ConversationsOfConsequence]

Orrr… Let’s put some respect on PuertoRico? Even with Bron and Melo they still lost in 06’. Team USA was relatively new to the euro game. Coach K admits that they had to study euro ball and PLAY euro ball if they wanted to succeed over there.

[@IcarusFallz]

No. LeBron is a quitter and the bright lights ESPECIALLY back then shook that MF to his core

[@anelisasonera9162]

@@ConversationsOfConsequence in 2006 the older players didn't play but i get your point

[@ConversationsOfConsequence]

@@anelisasonera9162 All that matters is you understand, some of the old players would have to be OFF the court for bron and melo to play more anyway
