Spanoulis, Papaloukas, Diamantidis

Three legendary guards in one team. The result shouldn't be surprising to those who know these guys. Congrats to Greece from a Kurdish guy!

Basketball purists would love this game. The control of pace, unbelievable defense, effective pick and roll. This video (with the Greek commentary) is saved in my basketball archive in my computer.

Greatest basketball victory ever : Team work and high IQ against muscle power.

[ΙάκωβοςΚερασόπουλος]

Όπως έλεγε και ο μεγάλος Νίκος Γκάλης, αυτή ήταν η μεγαλύτερη νίκη μέχρι την επόμενη! 👏🇬🇷👏

[aleksandarkuznetsov]

Show the beauty of the team sport Greece! Bravo from Bulgaria!

[pipikaka]

Papaloukas, Diamantidis, Spanoulis, OH MY! If you take a trip out of your small NBA bubble, you will understand that those players were the hottest thing the European basketball had to show at that time. Precision, smart defense and game awareness were their strong attributes. They didn't have the tough physical play most NBA players have, but if you let them roll their game, they will wipe the floor with you. Don't believe me? Well, push the play button and find out for yourselves.

Much love to our Greek brothers from Serbia ❤

I remember skipping school to watch this game because of the time difference. I was shocked and depressed when USA lost to Greece, but Greece was Ballin

[vincentsalvadorlatosa]

Grece destroyed team USA defense through good passing, shooting well, off ball movement and not dribbling too much.

[MushroomTherapy]

Congrats to Greece from Turkey! Great upset!

The Greeks have proven once more what they have been doing for thousands of years now; winning and prevailing against all odds. Besides the Greek excellent and well studied game, interesting were the faces of the USA players; arrogant and disrespectful at the beginning but worried and bewildered when they had realised that they might have lost the game. Respect however to the very talented USA players. As regards the commentator, he knew nothing about the Greek players besides their names and he did not give them the respect they truly deserved.

[Meraklı_çocuk]

I rewatch the game and even though l am a turk l am proud of Greece ! They did great job !

[wednotcare]

the two highlights that unfroze and "woke up" greece
29:59 missed dunk from soft and block from diamantidis
34:09 assist from papaloukas, dunk from sofo

after that onwards, the game was a joy to watch

48:26 THAT stepback, omg...

[TheZlantan]

usa players didn't even congratulate the greek players, terrible attitude
