As a Greek I celebrated like crazy our victory over USA.The US national team back then had huge potential hall of famers like Lebron, Wade, Melo, Paul etc...I mean it takes a lot to beat any team that USA is assembling.I really believe that the only team that could beat USA back then was us.Not Spain, not Argentina but us.The Greek team back then was full of talent.Sadly we lost to Spain but we never cared. It felt liket the match against USA was the final for us.

Wade and LBJ have said it to the media a million times. In those Olympics Kobe taught them truly how to compete/play defense. Kobe’s work ethic took over the entire culture of the team and he closed for them when they needed it most.

[lancernightful]

What happened was they gave the ball to the greatest closer which was Kobe Bryant . Kobe showed the team how to stop the bleeding and how to close the game out. Kobe was the person that the team leaned on.

[sambo]

Kobe showed usa how to be great again and win gold.

[Patchez]

Shame that Gilbert got snubbed by a few USA teams just like dame time.

[MrDvfdsv]

he still has the crazy eyes, that inextinguishable fire.

Quiet as it's kept, these Basketball Tech Talks of Gilbert are really heating up - hibachi!

[harveybrenord]

Funny how coaches, who control game plans rotation lineups and minutes, carry none of the blame but the rookies at the time have to shoulder it 😂 if you can’t win with tim duncan ai and the matrix you’re just an overrated coach

[ballaboveall]

No credit given to Greece playing amazing basketball with hall of famers who Chose not to play in the nba...Kobe Bryant said he didnt understand why some of those players dont play in the nba and he wants Diamantidis as his teammate..but you out here giving no credit what so ever

[conanbdetective]

The Greek Shaq/Baby Shaq killed the '06 USA Team. He couldn't be contained. The coaching is one thing but Sofo was just a man possessed that game.

[victorgarcia]

gil finally getting the attention and respect he deserves 💪🏽💪🏽

[jordanflores]

Yeah yeah yeah Gilbert we know you knew everything every damn thing you knew how it was all gunna go down

[kingbernard_]

Kobe was like "Fine, I'll do it myself." in Thanos' voice.

[plostyle]

Gilbert stayed up until 6am to sign 1500 jerseys and donate them to people that donated to a charity. I have one of those jerseys. My favorite player

[jayburnham]

Flash forward to today stories like this all the media people would die for... they don't like talking about the sport itself

[mariobasic]

If kobe wasnt playing in 2008 they will lose to spain too

[matthewn]

Yo Gilbert was on some fuck shit for the shoe shitting part 😂🤣

[dannyweeboy]

Dwayne Wade was the MVP of that Olympics Tho
That was a good team

[keithmckeever]

I know this may hurt some of y’all feelings but the truth is the truth Melo was leading the team lebron even said it out his mouth “we look at him as our leader right snow” wether you wanna argue Kobe or melo better scorer at the time all I know is he lead em in scoring so it’s clear it had to be coaching. J kid wade Kobe bron melo should have been on court at some point those were like the best players.

[Kermit_T_Frog]

I'm guessing that this was the World Cup, not the Olympics.
