As an American, I have always been very impressed with how good Lithuania is at basketball. For such a small country they sure put together some tough teams. I certainly respect the way they play, its fun to watch. Much respect from the USA

USA has the best fans and love for the game. Just because we don't light flares and scream like retards (that's not cheering, you Europeans literally act like morons) doesn't mean we're bad fans. It means we're civil and have brains, something you Europeans lack.

@NTMIB What's more satisfying? The critics who said we can't play as a team, can't defend the pick and roll, back door cuts and can't shoot the ball. Well, the 2008 Olympics and the 2010 FIBA World Championship showed that we adjusted to their game to go along with our speed, athleticism and fast break explosiveness.

@Nameofoglon I wouldn't say much better. 2010 only beat Spain by 1 point in a friendly and Brazil by 2 points in pool play while the 2008 team one all games by double digits. Plus 2008 was a harder tournament. Just look at the NBA 2011 all-star game, 11 players were in the 2008 tournament while only 4 were in the 2010 one.

Yes we don't have such talents as KD but we play as a team. Before championship everyone expected that such countries as USA, Spain, Greece, Argentina, Serbia will fight for medals but not us. Everytime our team is thought as not among leaders and everytime we have to prove that even small countries can fight vs giants. I was dissapointed after this loss but this just shows that we believe that we can beat everyone and it keeps us alive.

No matter we lost I think we showed that we can fight with everybody and don't give up till the end. USA team played well and deserved gold but I always believe in my country and basketball is our religion not americans. We can loose we can win but we live in it for Americans its just number 2-4 sport, for ourselves it's more than sport. We lost but we achieved a lot and remember our team also renewed so players practised together only before tournament and also it was even younger than yours.

This American basketball team would win vs theoretical European, African, Asian and Australian national teams. Additionally, if you divided American teams up into regional teams, much like the NBA in terms of how MANY teams there would be, USA would still win with stride. The level of competition in the United States is unrivaled.

@tiktok51 Honestly America did fine prior to using professional basketball players on the olympic team, so i'm sure we'd do fine... Alot of you guys are making it sound like the Lithuanian team are just a random group of guys from off the street, yet each of those players have been playing basketball their entire lifves. There are quite a few NBA calibre players on the team and Kleiza has legitimate potential, so it's hardly the "David vs. Goliath" matchup everyone seems to be portraying it as.

3) In short, I'm really saddened that practically everyone here, Lithuanian and American alike, has absolutely no concept of sportsmanship. It's about playing the game and playing the best you can. Winning is the icing on the cake for hard work (and of course, talent). Lithuania played admirably, but the U.S. played better. That’s it. Good game. End of story.
@Nameofoglon14 жыл бұрын
Still great respect to lithuanians as they were fighting till their last breath... Sure americans were too good, and this team looked MUCH better than that of 2008 (with Kobe and all other "stars", really wonder why do those "professionals" play so badly in last 14 yrs). But take in consideration the moment 9:47 (2 pts by Gecevicius, that were not considered) and 11:19 (as Odom was at least 6 SECONDS IN THE 3 SEC ZONE!) so the difference would've been 8 pts, and who knows, how it all could end.

@FearlessLT So sad? Barely won? 15 points is barely won? This isn't 1992 where the USA is going to beat everyone by 30 points anymore. And how is it sad? It was the semifinals of a competition the US had't made the finals in in 16 years and they won by 15 points. I think it is very impressive with the world catching up in basketball that the USA went defeated in the Olympics and the World Championship. Not sad!

And you guys need to learn basketball, US plays the most entertaining basketball, the fastest, hardest, most technical basket in the world. That is why only Linas from your Country can fit in the NBA. The rest of them can't think fast enough. Lithuania is a great basketball nation with great shots and great team work. But individually they have no chance at all, and USA has the best defense that's why they can run up free and slam dunk. Defense is just as important as Offense watch nba and learn
