Full highlights as the United States beat Lithuania 99-94 in the Men's Preliminary Round Group A match from the Basketball Arena during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Basketball made its appearance at the Olympic Games in 1904 in St Louis as a demonstration sport, as the competition was held between only American teams and counted as an event of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU of the USA) Championships.
At the Games in 1936 in Berlin, basketball joined the Olympic programme, where it has remained to this day. Women's basketball debuted at the 1976 Games in Montreal.

This is the Olympics, you'd expect the audio quality to be top notch
I thought my phone was trippin
Latvian here. Always rooting for Lithuania when they play! Well done guys
right back at you
US has greatest talents worldwide, Lithuania has heart&teamwork:)
Isn't it called Russia? also hear u have big economical problems where there in small wages and everything is expensive lol
@@Pekrop7 ? what are you talking about? learn geography dude and history if needed
@@moila9819 He's a russian troll 🙂 He emigrated to the Baltic states during the occupation of Latvia.
Respect to both of teams. Especially Lithuania
Lithuanian small country but we love Basketball so much
better than NBA
@@reala1276 no lol
USA is smaller and we hate it
Lockon Stratos uh YOU HATE IT. WE LOVE IT. WE INVENTED IT!
CanadianAmerican Patriot maybe
i remember this game played night time here in the philippines when i was in highschool. I just woke up, I was shock when i catch my father watching seriously on the screen, and i realize USA was only up by 4.
Kobe、We miss You! You are always our HERO❣️
my legend, my honor may god be with you always kobe.
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.
Its Lithuania
SOON
LkZjump yes very soon! :)
Bad Wolf Sadly, Kleiza and Kalnietis don't play this year. But we still believe! :D
Evil Anthony Davis Lietuva is Lithuania in Lithuanian.
Lithuania had a really good chance at winning this, USA scored a lot towards the end, great game.
Lithuania fell apart towards the end with turnovers and careless play
This game is so close, you can see how difficult this game for the mighty USA but I love how mamba trusted the king to keeping the ball and win the game
I know we normally don't count moral victories but this is most definitely a win for Lithuania, to even compete with this us team
Props to Lithuania, you guys can ball.
man, americans looked really worried in 4th quarter lol. Great game.
Ghyll But then won the game.
They came and thought they was going to be easy coming off that Nigeria game but then they started to play professional ball against a solid professional team like Lithuania was
Is it just me or is the court level sound 15 seconds late?
Aidan Mone you are right.
Aidan Mone Synchronizaton sucks
+Aidan Mone I think about 3 seconds earlier.
JM Zunega .0 }. }.
for the most teams - yes, however top tier teams are incredibly coached, as you can see at this stage of the playoffs
Can't really watch this when the sound is ahead of the video
Dude The audio is so off
I see/hear anything wrong ,, my audio and video R in the same pace
Ik
US has greatest talents worldwide, Lithuania has heart&teamwork:)
1:54:19 Durant so unfriendly xD
Awesome game.. so much respect for Lithuania
24:18 Tony G sighting. He probably screaming GET ON YOUR BIKE AMERICANS !!! lol.
lol
good game. Lithuania was the only team that actually came close to beating usa
I heard Nigeria came close tho?
Respect to the Lithuanians.
Spain was close
Spain was close, but people don't realize Lithuania has been a dominant force for years.
***** somebody clearly doesnt understand sarcasm
What a great match, Lithuania was one of only 2 teams that were close to defeating the USA basketball team.
Argentina defeat it hahaha
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..
Amazing teamwork for Lithuania! The only reason they lose is turnover, next time, be focus
Lebron just too damn clutch!
I always come back and watch this Team USA game the most it's the only game where they had to play real Basketball
Why are people complaining about why kevin love is on the USA team when he is amazing in the paint and he's a very good 3 point shooter.
David The Boss
I watched this game at the olympics actually in the arena but this is a great replay so i can see more details in the game! thanx for this vid!
I saw this live, one of the best moments ever.
Kleiza once had 41 points in a game with Melo in Denver a few years ago
Kleiza had 50 points game
...SHAME...!...SHAME...!...SHAME...!
No one cant stop usa except lithuania
Greece can
Daniel Cruz the point is basketball is not chinas national sport.
Anastasia Kanetouni 9 years ago...
philippines can
greece can cuz lithuanian teach couches :) how to play
Kobe Bryant 🔥🔥😍😢
Thank you Kobe
This was a beautiful game to watch, very intertaining👏👏👏👏👏👏
l love you lebrown james 💜
Basketball is also Lithuania's most popular sport by far. In the USA its all about football.
this is really exciting game!!! love it
Nice game. All players are truly competitive. Congrats team usa.
I think I know how Brits feel about Americans commenting soccer now
@Estela Lopez whooosh
I also felt like lebron was a massive team player in the London 2012
Holy Awful Audio Syncing Batman!
...shut...Up..!!
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.
is the audio delayed for anyone else?
Nope.
yes
Big heads off to Lithuania!
Damn, It's so interesting how a country like Lithuania with only 3 million people would play this good. My Uncle's co worker who is Lithuanian who works as an auto mechanic said that his people there are very laid back. I mean laid back and I watch this game, wow.
We have not 3million , we have 2,5 million :/. But we all love this game and (Mes uz lietuva)
Lapinas Žaidžia 2.94 mln.
Jack Hoff Talent is everywhere bro, just saying.
An awesome match ❤️
DAYUUMM ! What a good game !
very nice team Lithuania... down by ONLY 5...
is it only me or is audio before the video? wtf it's the OLYMPICS and they're screwing up videos!?!?
Haha def not you man. Weird!
23 Texas Tech Leads 21 Villanova Wildcats 38-10 with 13:26 in the 1st 30:42
You can tell the announcers don't like the USA winning all the games
Right, it's almost like they WANT the other team to win. And we just keep on winning.
become man and play fair next time jewSA your doping
Hyena laughing matter first of I’m Jewish and the name JEWSA is a new one ( a plus for creativity) second of all. We play fair. We just were better.
@@canadianamericanpatriot2601 until you wake up to the true of reality.
OMG! this was the greatest game i ever seen ,lithuanians did so well...and good job to Lebron james and the USA team ... that was a awesoome game i fought lithuania will win but i forgot what USA can ...
Lithuanians* Lithuania*
***** yeah... so what...?? admit it ... Lithuanians can ball .... and they are like the 3rd best country at basketball
"greatest" i already see you don't know anything about lithuanian baskrtball
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!
no team USA is too good now, no way in hell will Lithuania win gold next year.
+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!!!
+Olivia Waller Well half of this Lithuanian team is either retired or not playing on that high level.
+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.
+Totoy Bitoy right now*
Was there another game going on or is the sound not in sync with the video?
you are correct and it is really annoying
Was there another game going on? This lineup was crazy.
wow Lithuania made the US sweats in this game ...
Who's here after Lithuania beat USA in the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup? Anyone here?🤗
Ayo!!!!!!
the sound is all messed up
Is it just me or do the whistle sounds come way before the foul in this video? Is the audio messed up?
I agree it's more than just a decent challenge
its lithuanias 1 of the best games i seen them play
Are you still alive ?
Man I love this game!
24:17 spot the poker player HAHAHA ON YOUR BIKE
decent challenge?? That is an understatement, ive never seen coach K sweat so much
Thanks
the best players in USA, if you want to win, the most important key is the strategy
great game!
And americans had the audacity to say this is just "team c"??? This is the best team of team usa they struggled against Lithuania lmao
background sound is ahead, so confusing specially on the whistle!
Nahzzz, what happened with the sound?
every game between LTU and USA is a close one
What's this background noise? Sounds like they recorded two games sounds into one.
Sound is ahead
they were very good team.
You should check out the Nigeria USA game. Melo hits 37 points in 15 mins 10/12 from 3???Crazy game
Miss you idol kobe
The sound is ahead of the video
Nice to see Lithuania play well against the USA, the only team to give them a decent challenge.
Spain that year and now it's france
they have stars in their own league
GOOD job Kalnietis !!!
how is the audio off on all of these games. do they even put a second of care into editing these videos. would take like 10 seconds to fix this
great game but bruh what's with that background sound, very distracting and annoying. it's even louder than the comentators.
アンソニーデイビスかっこよすぎる！！
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.
It would have been awesome to see D Rose in that Olympics if it weren't for his AC
isnt that a travel by kobe at 40:29 ? he jab with his right foot but before dribble his left foot alr start moving
Kobe is great
damn it audio again? Same as in the arg game
#6 took over in the last 3 minutes, saved USA
Number 6 is lebron james
That "#6" is the best player on the face of the planet lol
Joao Simoes de Carvalho He said #6 like he's just some random guy
Especially since they kept calling out his name after he shot a basket.
If you don't know who #6 is .. u probably never even seen a basketball in your life lol
No, you are arguing childishly with someone over youtube about whether America is the better team at basketball... which we obviously are, while you should be aware of how we are slipping in the world competition.
Westbrook needs more shooting practice hours!!!!!
why are all the olympic games sounds are late?
almost videos of olympic channel are off by some second... they dont care about video quality...
Kleiza was a better leader for Lithuania than Domantas Sabonis and Valanciunas in 2021
Is there two games at once?
well I'm just saying, and many people would agree that American teams rely too much on individual performance and skill, rather than teamwork and cohesiveness
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.
Honestly Chris paul did pretty good job with the stealing and rebounding.
1:51:35 Kobe pass to Lebron, not KD.
