[@bigbuffguy9589]

The 2004 USA men's basketball team is viewed as a failure due to poor roster construction and coaching, and rightfully so. But you know what? I actually respect these players. They easily could have just gone into the tank, but they still managed to win the bronze and bring something back for themselves and their country. Team USA has never failed to medal in any Olympics they entered, and this flawed team did just enough to keep that streak intact.

[@gabepizza]

Yes that humiliating first game 19 point loss to Puerto Rico was team USA's worst game ever but after that they went 5-2 including wins over the 2006 WC gold and silver medalists Spain and Greece and this revenge game against Lithuania who beat them in pool play.

[@michaelgriffin6442]

Watching these games of the 2004 USA team, whenever Lebron is on the floor they start to dominate. It's so dumb that Coach Brown barely played him.

[@JZ2001JC]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@mike.cdn7212]

Larry Brown should of played more LeBron and Wade. But he wanted to stick to the veterans.

[@Larryrich01]

you saw 1 alley oop to James and he's dominating? are you clown or what? :DDD you have no clue about basketball. If james was on the floor instead of RJ15 then Lithuania would have bronze.

[@davidbelanger9952]

In terms of pure basketball skills and basketball IQ Lithuania's so much better. Basketball really is a spot in which athleticism compensates for teammwork and systems. Too bad the best athletes in the world turn out to be "better" basketball players even though skillwise they're much inferior to players that are considered not as good as them.

[@creates100]

duncan was completely useless in international play. his style was ill suited for that type of basketball.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

I mean, only because the international refs of this era were absolutely horrible. Duncan is one of the best defensive players in the history of basketball. But because of incompetent refs, he was in foul trouble early in seemingly every game. There's a reason he never came back.

[@gabepizza]

@@bigbuffguy9589 yes he fouled out of the semi-final game against Argentina. It is also because Marbury and Iverson never passed him the ball. Look how dominant Shaq was in international play but mind you that was 10 years before this game
