I'm from USA. USA vs Lietuva is one of the greatest international rivals. The 2000 match was one of legend this game and the 2010 USA vs Lietuva match are also good. I can't wait for USA to meet Lietuva again in 2014. The clash of two great basketball nations.

[@oliviawaller3236]

It is a true delight to see another country do this well against America. I am an American who grew up playing basketball and this game is a great testament to how well Lithuania is going to do in 2016. This Lithuanian team may win the gold in 2016. Lebron, without Kobe, may have something to say about it. It will be a great game! I can't wait!

[@DionSpleon]

no team USA is too good now, no way in hell will Lithuania win gold next year.

[@tombstonegames733]

+Dion Lyona Lithuania never had awesome - Blossome squad, what we do have - what is not geting older and serve us well from first EuroBasket till now is HEART!!!

[@aleksandarspasic6067]

+Olivia Waller Well half of this Lithuanian team is either retired or not playing on that high level.

[@edmichaelalobog8886]

+Dion Lyona I agree with that, team USA right may not have Westbrook, Curry, Kobe, Lebron, Davis, Kawhi, CP3, etc. Those individual talents were missing, but they have a better season right now. They used to rely on drive, and run n'gun game, but now that they are implying a new game style, and adding the great shooters on the team? it would be tough for any team to beat them.

[@edmichaelalobog8886]

+Totoy Bitoy right now*

[@MK0437]

Lebron just too damn clutch!

[@mangrovewarrior7735]

This was the best match up. The USA had to recruit the older Kobe to boost the youngens defense.. RIP to not the only the best scorer but big time defensive player of the game THE ONE AND ONLY BLACK MAMBA..

I always come back and watch this Team USA game the most it's the only game where they had to play real Basketball

[@1PunchKO100]

Funny thing is our basketball "godfather" (Lithuanian guy) played for US in 1936 olympics where he won gold and then in 1939 European gold with Lithuania. We have strong ties with basketball, there is just not enough of us to produce the talent in the amounts to rival you guys. I watched 92 Dream team live on tv when I was a boy. I still remember where I was when we got beat by 57 or something. No one compares to those players.

USA is still better. Not trying to devalue team here, but USA is all around far better. USA :can: play isolated because of their extreme talent, but can also pass extremely well if you look at their games. Lithuanians puts a decent amount of focus on basketball, and Lithuanians are generally large, which leads to a decent team. Props to Lithuania and USA.

[@abnormalkid4025]

This shows that the US is no longer a dream team at +20 points. There were times when even students could go to the cup and win gold medals. Basketball has become very balanced and that's great.

[@TwinkCookies]

great game but bruh what's with that background sound, very distracting and annoying. it's even louder than the comentators.

[@CraZzy3n3rGy]

Can't wait for the 2016 basketball team. Curry harden Lebron durant and Davis r gonna start and sure locks for the teams. Gonna be excited to see who makes the cut

[@KiingToxiicGaming]

It's most likely gonna be the rookies, every since Paul George got injured not that many "Big Time stars" played in the Olympics

[@MrGoingon9lives]

Well we are obviously the best at basketball. We've been the best at basketball since 1936.... that's kinda a given. But lately we have been sacrificing teamwork for individual performance and it shows. We have also sacrificed big men in the NBA. This you need to be aware of. Cause honestly beating spain by like 7 points is shameful considering we have a team of Lebron, Kobe, Carmelo and Durant. It shouldn't even be close

[@krillin876]

decent challenge?? That is an understatement, ive never seen coach K sweat so much

isnt that a travel by kobe at 40:29 ? he jab with his right foot but before dribble his left foot alr start moving

What's this background noise? Sounds like they recorded two games sounds into one.

[@vasjaforutube1]

Sarunas Jasikevicius is a legend, but he nearly ruined the game with this turnovers. And for a deadly sniper as he is, Simas Jasaitis took just one shot and was doing poorly in defence. The rest of the team were just brilliant, especially Linas Kleiza.
