[low crowd noise]
[commentator] Fans rise to their feet in appreciation for what they just saw.
An absolute clinic from the United States.
They win it 110 to 84 over Serbia.
[crowd noise fades]
- [chattering] - [somber music playing]
[in Serbian] Bro, if you have Adebayo at the corner, and Durant is at 45…
don't fucking stay on Adebayo if Durant is there.
He sometimes runs in or cuts, sometimes sets a screen…
[speaking in Serbian]
[Pešić] Let's see if Durant,
the best man on the court, who shoots 5-for-5, three-pointers…
he comes and puts a ball through your hoop.
Whom are you guarding?
You're guarding him!
You're not guarding anyone else!
No other player is of your concern!
He is your only concern!
It was my bad.
I should have assigned a different player to guard Durant.
If we ourselves can't see it… and do it…
He is the one who will do the shooting. Who else?
And he gets the ball as if…
he is alone as a ghost!
[music fades out]
[indistinct chatter]
[100m commentator in English] So now comes an occasion we wait four years to savor.
Now comes a night one of these eight brave souls will remember forever.
- Four. One, two, three, four. - Oh yes.
Thank you.
100-meter men's final, literally watching the fastest human beings on the planet.
[100m commentator] The atmosphere here in the Stade de France
is absolutely incredible.
[Shai] My mom ran in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
[Barcelona '92 commentator] Gilgeous of Antigua, personal best of 53.8
in the women's 400-meters.
[Shai] Growing up, my mom honestly didn't really talk about the Olympics as much.
More about the work she had to put in to get there,
and the work it was gonna take for us to be successful in sports.
[100m commentator] They stand like giants among men.
Which one is about to rise and conquer all
with the eyes of the entire planet upon them?
[Shai] It's crazy, like, you do four years of work for… in their case, ten seconds.
In her case, however long it was. Um…
And you just try your hardest to make it your best ten seconds you can possibly do.
And it's kind of like an appreciation for it
because I have so many opportunities to get a game right or win the final game.
With them, it's all on the line for a short period of time.
And it's an appreciation for me, for sure.
[100m commentator] It's time for the men's 100-meter Olympic final.
Are they getting on the blocks? Ooh!
[100m commentator] The entire world prepares to hold its breath.
[scattered shouts in stadium]
[stadium chatter dies down]
[whispering] Yo, it's fucking quiet.
[100m commentator] The tension in the stadium is incredible.
[quietly] I'm nervous and I'm just watching.
[100m commentator] An extraordinary atmosphere
for an extraordinary lineup of men.
It's pretty even at the moment.
Kishane trying to find a way through.
Oh, it's so, so close!
Yo, was that Thompson?
- [100m commentator] Kishane Thompson… - Come on, man!
…thinks he has done it by a whisker.
Man, nobody knows!
- What the fuck? - Nobody in the fucking world knows.
[chuckling]
[100m commentator] 9.79 for both of them!
Lyles, by thousandths of a second.
The guy won by five thousandths of a second, it’s crazy.
[light uplifting music builds slowly]
[Shai] To accomplish something great…
It's great for a reason,
and it's great because a majority of people don't accomplish it.
And to get there, you have to do something
that a majority of people aren't willing to do, or don't do.
I think that's where the outlier comes in.
[exclaims]
[Malika] When you're talking about the biggest young stars in the game,
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has to be at the top…
top-five of everybody's lists.
[commentator 1] Shai puts it in!
And walks it off at OKC!
In a second, the guy can explode.
He is a bucket-getter.
[commentator 2] And SGA, once again, adds another to the highlight reel.
When you get successful at it, you get addicted to the feeling of it.
The feeling of getting better, I love the feeling of improvement.
[commentator 1] And Shai knocks it down for the lead!
[Shai] Basketball for me was always a bit of a getaway from circumstances.
[commentator 3] Oh, he hits!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander!
[Shai] My goal at basketball is just to maximize my full potential,
get as much of this game as I can, and give it my all,
and see where I end up when it's said and done.
[music fades out]
[commentator] 2-0 Canada taking on 1-1 Spain.
A game with massive implications for the knockout rounds.
[fans shouting]
España!
[subtle music playing]
[Shai] I think we all want to accomplish really high goals, and we work at them.
And I think those intangibles, and what we put in every day will take care of itself.
Ultimately, I think we'll get what we deserve if we earn it.
So I don't really think or focus on the pressure.
Alright, real quick. This is a very good test for us.
Um, that's why we gotta be prepared, we gotta be focused.
We talked about the X-factor.
Nothing wrong with you wanting to be the X-factor for the game.
We can have more than one. Do what's best for the team.
Fight for 40 minutes.
- Canada on three! One, two, three! - Canada!
[reporter] I know it's in the headlines a lot now because of who we're playing.
How are you feeling playing your home country?
I feel great. I'm all for Canada right now.
And I'm focused and ready about our team and what we're supposed to do.
- Alright. Good luck. Thank you. - Thank you.
[light cheering and whistling]
My hometown is right outside Barcelona.
My hometown is Badalona.
Everybody plays basketball.
So basically, I was born into it.
You know, I played it, but I was not that good.
So I found my way into coaching at a high, high level.
I was fortunate to have worked with Spain,
be part of the program and learn from them.
From the coach, from the organization, so on and so forth.
But, playing Spain, with a lot of respect, always want to beat them.
I've always been a person that will support my club, no matter what.
And now that we're with national teams,
I feel like I'm more Canadian than anybody else.
- Canada on three! One, two, three! - Canada!
[commentator 1] This Canadian team's got so much talent.
Let's see if Canada can run through the tape and go 3-0 in group play.
[tense music builds slowly]
Up! Up!
[commentator 1] Willy Hernangómez, diving to the bucket.
That is big time for Spain.
[commentator 2] This team has so much experience playing together,
they will not get rattled.
[Jordi whistling]
Shai! Shai, you got him! You got him!
[Jordi] I'm so lucky to be able to coach somebody like Shai.
Sometimes the best thing that I can do is sit back and watch him and enjoy the show.
- [commentator 2] Ooh! - [commentator 1] Pocket picked!
SGA, the swipe and slam!
He's the kind of player that can be, and he's on his way to being,
a generational type of player.
Together with that, he's just one of the most likable,
personable, amiable cats that we have on our team.
He's a guy that everybody responds to.
[commentator 1] Gilgeous-Alexander, drive and kick.
- Barrett, corner three. It's there! - [commentator 2] Big shot… Yeah!
[commentator 1] Big three to extend it to a two-possession game.
[RJ] Shai's one of the best players in the world.
Having that guy as point guard on our team… I mean, it's great.
We go in with just confidence,
every single night.
[commentator] Canada remains perfect
here in the 2024 Games.
And Spain… a heartbreaking finish,
is eliminated.
They have booked their ticket for the quarterfinals.
Six points and a 3-0 record,
in what was the toughest group in these entire Games.
We could have been better at closing the game, but at the end of the day,
we got the win, and that was the most important.
I think we're well-tested for the next round.
Obviously, good teams await in the next round.
We think we're just as good, ready to go against whoever.
[Jordi] I don't know if you guys…
if you guys have thought about this,
but I don't know how much you follow the Olympics, uh…
Olympics 1992… I don't know if a lot of you guys were born, but…
that was probably the best Olympics that I remember.
That was the Dream Team.
I think these Olympics, by far, has the most talent ever in the world.
Not just Team USA, but everybody else.
Being 3-0 in the toughest group in the Olympics means something.
We fucking beat the number-two program in the world.
We found the way to win.
Now we move to the quarterfinals, and it's gonna be unbelievable.
It's gonna be three Game Sevens.
And now is the time that we have to fight like we've never… fought before.
Alright, you guys got the two guys here with the pieces.
Here you go. Shai.
The puzzle idea, with the 15 pieces,
we all have the opportunity to put one piece of the puzzle
and tell everybody who we're playing for.
And if we accomplish our dream, which is the medal,
it's going to be the maple leaf.
Obviously, we share family.
Um…
But specifically, I'm doing this for my mom.
She obviously sacrificed a lot for me to get here, growing up.
Um…
She was an Olympian. And for me to carry the torch is an amazing feeling.
So I'm doing it for Charmaine.
[locker room clapping]
["Little Children Runnin' Wild" by Curtis Mayfield playing]
[crowd shouting indistinctly]
[Snoop] Hey, what's happenin'?
Get y'all spirit right.
Wake y'all up around here.
Some of that player shit.
Who let Snoop on the bus, man?
♪ Little child ♪
♪ Runnin' wild ♪
♪ Watch a while ♪
[pundit 1] There's a lot of pressure right now for Team USA.
[pundit 2] This is about winning the gold, and everything else goes to the side.
[pundit 3] Why do we construct a roster with all of these big names?
When, realistically, you can't even play them all.
[pundit 4] The reason why this team is better than the '92 team
is not because of the embarrassment of riches of players that they had.
It's because the competition's far better.
[song fades out]
[reporter] Is there a level of respect for South Sudan,
that you think can help for the game?
We have appropriate fear of everybody.
[Kerr] Alight, here we go, five-ball shooting.
We need three down there.
Five-ball shooting.
20-10-5.
One more down here.
Book.
[Hill] We were unsure of what this team would look like.
I don't think any of us thought we would have this caliber,
or stature of players for this Olympic team.
[Kerr] Shoot it, 'Bron. Yes, sir!
[Hill] Steve Kerr… he's the perfect kind of leader
to guide this team through this journey.
[Kerr] Beautiful. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good job, Blue!
The last two handles, I went with Derrick
just for defensive purposes on the switching and stuff.
But just stay ready. Every game is gonna be different.
Like the Serbia game, we decided to drop,
you know, on everything, against Jokić.
And that was way better than the switching.
So we're going to go back and forth between the drop and the switch.
But my experience with this stuff,
you know, every game's gonna be a little different.
Just keep doing what you're doing, stay ready, and your time's going to come.
So, yeah.
I think the hardest part of the job for me is playing time.
Even picking the rotations, you know.
How do you put seven Hall of Famers on the bench?
You know, I've told the team.
This is hard for us too, you know. It's hard for you to not play.
It's hard for us to not play you.
But let's understand what this is about.
Basketball is just basketball.
There are so many more important things going on in the world.
And yet, when we're on the court,
it is the most important thing.
There it is.
It matters to be your best self.
It matters to be part of something special.
It matters to put something on the floor
that can make people happy.
Every pass is a good one. Right?
And if we don't make a good pass, we fumble it away,
we come back and we start over, alright. Here we go.
Good.
Nice.
Growing up, my dad was a professor at UCLA.
And we spent a lot of time overseas.
We lived in Beirut, Lebanon,
in France… Cairo, Egypt…
My experience overseas was one of the most important things
in my becoming a grownup.
Becoming a man.
And I think you learn empathy pretty naturally when you travel
and you understand that people come from all walks of life.
Different cultures, different backgrounds. But at our core, we're all the same.
My mom and dad never actually talked about empathy.
They just displayed it.
I remember barbecues at our house. You know, there'd be Arabs, Israelis…
People from all over the world having these discussions about world events.
And there was such a civil discourse that came
in his intellectual conversations with friends or colleagues.
And I observed that, and admired that.
Competing in the Olympics reminds me of a lot of what I've experienced in my life.
We're traveling all over the world
and living in a way that I actually grew up in.
Come on.
Sharpen up. End of game. Focus.
He has a special honesty about him, a special incisive nature
to really figure out who you are,
to find out what makes you tick,
to actually care about what's going on in your head,
off the court as much as on the court.
The intent was good, but now we got to clean it up, right?
So, on this stuff…
LeBron just said it. We got to execute.
I think Steve has probably known me to the core
more than any coach I've played for.
He brings those life lessons into the game
that make us feel like we're just kids playing a game again.
[Kerr] Love it! Love it!
He uses different terminology than most coaches,
like, it's more laid back, like having a conversation than it is coaching.
[Kerr] Nice! Really good. Really good.
Rock solid.
I have found myself in some amazing basketball environments,
organizations, and I do think I have a good feel for what wins.
Push it, Blue! Push it!
I think it's a combination of competitiveness and joy,
and joy in others' success.
That's beautiful.
Just keep thinking, force, cuts, cuts, cuts…
That's the common thread to winning.
That's the level of intensity that we need all 40 minutes.
'Cause if we can push, push for four or five minutes…
bring in the next group in, do the same thing…
We suffocate teams, we take their spirit.
We take their confidence, okay? That's a hell of a practice.
And let's keep it rolling.
- Gold, man. One, two, three… - Gold!
Good work, fellas. Good work.
[gym announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for the gymnasts
in the Women's All-Around Final!
[commentator] So, Biles up on vault first.
Aiming for her sixth Olympic gold medal.
It's packed wall to wall, bro.
It's Simone's last one too?
It's her last one, right?
Gotta be. There's no way she can do it again.
Unless she's 'Bron.
[gym announcer 2] Introducing Simone Biles!
[cheers and applause]
[crowd noise dies down]
[instrumental music playing]
I feel there's a lot of things I might be able to do if I trained from birth…
[Kevin] Not that. Ha!
I wouldn't ever even try that.
[commentator 2] Solid start.
[cheers and applause]
That was good work there, girl.
[commentator 2] And she has the most difficult program in the world.
[Kevin] My goodness!
How's she getting up that high, bro?
She can dunk, I'm telling you.
[chuckling]
[gym announcer] The gold medalist, and Olympic champion,
Simone Biles!
Yeah!
[cheers and applause]
[commentator 2] Well, we've just seen greatness in real time.
[Kevin] Goat!
No doubt about it.
[reporter] KD, what did you think?
[Kevin] It's insane, man. Incredible show of athleticism.
I loved it.
[gym music ends]
[in Serbian] Just stretch it a bit.
Just a little bit.
[exhales]
This leg is less fit.
[physio] This hamstring is under more stress.
You're using this one more.
[Pešić] Push it more, please.
[energetic music playing]
[Pešić] What I would say is that, without great love and passion…
and commitment, one can't succeed in anything,
including basketball.
Learn, Vlado.
Watch.
[physio] I am learning.
[Pešić] The most important thing is personal motivation,
but if you don't have that within you,
it's hard to motivate yourself and others.
[Bogdan in English] Coach Pešić is, for sure, a legend in Serbian coaching.
One of the best coaches we have in history of Serbian basketball.
He doesn't like when everything is good.
He always put a little bit of pressure
to keep everyone engaged and keep everyone focused.
[in Serbian] Oh, sh*t. You gave me the heaviest.
[Aleksa in English] What impressed me most is that he is 75 years old
and coming to the practice every day.
Just looking for the future, and looking to make something bigger,
it's really impressive.
[Pešić in Serbian] Most coaches,
we think we can control everything.
It's not like that.
Today, players also watch you,
analyze you,
to see…
when they can slip away
or gain something.
[Jović in English] I'd say what piss him off the most
would be us young guys.
He's always on our ass.
But if someone knows how to adjust and how to prepare for something,
that's for sure him.
[Pešić in Serbian] Nowadays the job of the coach is much more complicated
than it was back in my days.
That's enough.
[exclaims]
[sighs]
- [chattering] - [shoes squeaking]
And then you won't be missing!
It goes to the front.
[in English] I think this is one of the most talented rosters
we have in the past ten years.
There's just something when you wear
the national team flag on your chest.
That energy and the feeling, it's just unbelievable.
["Vajb" by ORBOV playing]
That's it. More, more!
[speaking in Serbian]
Let's go now.
[in English] Being captain for national team of Serbia,
it's, uh, another level of pressure.
I just try to lead by example.
You know how much team matters,
and team style and team confidence is important.
He's the guy who's like, 10, 15 years in national team.
And he went through everything.
[commentator 1] Bogdanović wants it.
- Takes it… makes it! - [commentator 2] Makes it!
Crazy hard worker, and well-deserved captain of National Team of Serbia.
[in Serbian] Play, play!
Our best players are some of the leaders…
Leaders of major European clubs.
We have players in the NBA, like Jokić and Bogdanović,
who are changing the game even in the NBA.
["Vajb" continues playing]
[commentator in English] Look at the pass. Look at the finish. What a play!
Jokić, he is a conductor.
He conducts every possession offensively in a way that I've never seen.
Like, not Magic.
Not Nash.
Like, this is genius-level shit that we see from Jokić.
He does it all while looking like the guy that would be the last pick at a park.
- [buzzer sounds] - [commentator] Jokić for the win! Oh!
It's good!
Nikola Jokić is the best player playing basketball right now.
He is a three-time League MVP,
which puts him in incredibly rare air.
["Vajb" fades out]
[in Serbian] Position yourself here…
He comes to me,
I receive it, he comes so I could give the ball back to him.
- And then you don't give it to him? - No, I do give him the ball.
That's right, you're here.
You give him the ball, he catches it here at this end.
[Pešic] Nikola is a great player for any coach.
Great in every sense of the word.
Sometimes it bothers me that he'll do his best to show,
not only to me, but to all players, that he's there for them.
I'd like him to be selfish sometimes.
To think more of himself, but… Jokić is a team player.
Run full force to the corner.
[in English] People think that Nikola is like strange guy or stuff like that.
No, Nikolai is a very normal person.
Very humble guy.
With him and Bogdan, I think our team can do a lot.
[Malika] Serbia got the silver medal at the World Cup.
And Nikola Jokić didn't even play for the team.
Whenever you're winning
and you get to add the best player in the world,
you're feeling pretty good about yourself going into the Olympics.
Now, we have Nikola Jokić.
What can you expect? You can expect the gold medal.
[Vlade Divac] We are all proud of Nikola, what he accomplished.
And still a lot of years in front of him, to do it again, again, all over again.
So it creates a lot of pressure for him and for the team during the Olympic Games.
But that's what we like, we like pressure.
We like challenges.
[shouting in Serbian]
[in English] We know, all of us, how much Serbian people really want us to win.
They really want for us to have success.
Whole country is watching.
Basketball, in Serbia, bleeds deep in our blood.
It's more than basketball to us. It's basically everything to us.
The basketball in Serbia gave happiness to people.
when the time wasn't good in our country.
That's why basketball is a national sport.
[Divac] Before Serbia became an independent country,
we were one part of Yugoslavia,
which is a country with six different Republics.
[announcer] Defending Olympic champions from Yugoslavia take the bronze medal.
[Divac] Yugoslavia as a basketball country,
I would say, with the United States, was a superpower, you know.
[Śarenac] Yugoslavia, in the late '80s, beginning of the '90s,
was the top team in Europe.
[Pešić in Serbian] We were five-time world champions.
We won the European championship who knows how many times.
[Jović in English] The team they had in those years, you know,
those wave of players or however you want to say, they are Dream Team.
[Divac] My generation, we were number one internationally,
and we continue to have success.
[commentator 1] There couldn't be a better team, certainly not in Europe,
than Yugoslavia.
Champions now for the fifth time.
[Divac] '91 was the last time we played together.
That was a bad period for people of Yugoslavia.
The Civil War was the worst thing can happen.
[news fanfare playing]
[man] From ABC, this is World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
Good evening. We begin again tonight in Yugoslavia,
which the US believes may be on the verge of coming apart at the seams.
With six Republics, 24 ethnic groups, many have believed
that an explosion of ethnic differences in Yugoslavia was inevitable.
[gunfire and explosions]
[somber music playing]
[Danilović in Serbian] The disintegration of Yugoslavia affected everything.
First and foremost, it affected human lives.
[exclaims solemnly]
And not even to mention the basketball.
[reporter in English] A column of Yugoslav army tanks broke out of their base
and advanced toward the capital, firing as they went.
In Yugoslavia in that moment, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
Not on the basketball court, but with our lives.
In '92, right before the Olympics in Barcelona,
UN put sanctions on one part of Yugoslavia which is Serbia and Montenegro.
The UN sanctions included sports activities.
So, basically, from '92 to '95, we didn't have an opportunity to play.
That moment, we have, I think, the best basketball team ever
who cannot compete anywhere.
It's a pity because we would have a really good team in Barcelona.
And everybody was expecting,
what will it be if that team play against the Dream Team?
Play with Jordan, and Magic, and everybody else.
It will be Clash of the Titans, I think.
Had Yugoslavia remained intact,
it might have provided some reasonable competition
for the United States in basketball.
Vlade Divac was a star on the Yugoslavian team, but he's Serbian,
so his team isn't allowed to play in Barcelona.
The moment when they told us that we cannot participate in the Olympics,
it was one of the toughest days of my sports life.
[commentator] The US, as expected,
won the gold here in Barcelona.
In 1995, Yugoslavia, it was just two Republics instead of six.
Yugoslavia with Serbia and Montenegro.
[commentator] And once again, ladies and gentlemen,
Yugoslavia back on the scene.
We couldn't wait to participate again,
and make our country happy again.
[commentator] Yugoslavia, back from sanctions,
are the 1995 European Men's Basketball Champions!
When they got the gold, we forgot, in that moment,
all of our past, all of our days in the war,
all of sadness.
[commentator] Waving to their fans, waving flags back at them.
They have reason to celebrate!
Basketball gave us that feeling,
that you can say, "Ha, we are the best. We are better than you."
[Divac] When we came back, it was a couple hundred thousand people waiting for us,
and on the streets, it was a great celebration, you know?
And that… that was a moment that I will never forget.
[Bogdan] It was a pivotal moment for our basketball.
That gives a lot of confidence to all future generations.
They set a standard that… you can win.
2006, Serbia got their own independence.
To build a program from scratch is very hard,
but Serbia was always a country of sports,
so they just continued keeping, you know, the tradition that we had before
on a high level.
[in Serbian] Come on.
Come on. Well done. Well done.
- Who's the best? - [all] Serbia!
There's one thing I want to tell you.
If you are not ready to admit
that there is someone who is better than you at some things,
and not only at sports…
It's difficult to admit that sometimes.
However, it is the only way you can become better.
We all, in Serbia, really think,
that we are the best, that there is no need to learn anything
because we are God-given.
Fuck it.
That's just…
That's just the way it is.
Basketball has never been more popular in Serbia than it is now.
But our potentials are getting lower. We're not Yugoslavia anymore,
with 22 million inhabitants.
We're a much smaller country now,
with about 7-8 million people.
That means less potential.
Coach, have you maybe thought about
going out tonight… somewhere outside the village, for dinner?
- [Pešić] Who? - Staff or the players.
[Pešić] It's late.
[man in English] They'll be around us.
[in Serbian] I thought if we could break this monotony a bit… now is the chance.
Let them go run laps.
Let them run laps here.
There are two stadiums here.
Of course, the game against South Sudan
is a very dangerous game for us.
[fans shouting]
[commentator in English] These are the games as a player
that you grow up dreaming that you get to play in.
You win this game and you're gonna give yourself a chance to win an Olympic medal.
Both these teams know, we can be a quarterfinalist with a win today.
For Serbia, they have a great chance to make noise
if they can make it here to the medal round.
[Pešić in Serbian] Victory against Sudan
would mean a lot to us, of course, in terms of staying in the tournament,
but, at the same time, it would boost our self-confidence.
[in English] Going into the game, Bogdan was chasing the record
to be the best scorer in the history of the National Team of Serbia.
If you look at the players who played for that national team,
in the last 50 years, you will see a lot of big names.
So accomplishing it creates a lot of pressure
for him and for the team.
- [in Serbian] Who's the best? - [all] Serbia!
- [crowd chanting] - [tense music builds slowly]
[commentator in English] Kick it back out to Jokić. He's made one three so far.
Make it two in the Olympics.
Jokić, behind the back! What a feed!
A Magic Johnson-like look.
[in Serbian] Remember, be aggressive!
Okay?
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
[commentator in English] Tough step-back three. Perfect.
Bogdan Bogdanović, coming off his best NBA season…
[Bogdan] We are such a small country, and when you're young,
everybody teaches you that, you know, we are the best in basketball.
[chuckles] Like, it's simple as that.
And with the success that we have, you start believing.
[Pešić in Serbian] Expectations are huge.
But we also know that nothing comes automatically in sports.
Let's pressure and use a side pass.
A side pass… to Bogdan,
and then a chest pass. Okay?
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- [clapping] - [players speaking in Serbian]
[tense music continues]
[commentator in English] Bogdanović through the whole roster,
kick it out to Jović,
and he bottoms a three.
Nikola Jović, one consonant off of being an MVP.
Shayok came to bat that away from Jokić.
Good weak-side help.
Catch-and-shoot for Kuol in the corner.
The three-point shooting for the Bright Stars.
[in Serbian] Bogdan! Bogdan, we're weak!
[commentator in English] Bogdanović is saying, "Give me the ball more often."
- [commentator 2 laughs] - Like every good scorer says, right?
[in Serbian] Bogdan is, what I constantly repeat,
the continuity of this national team.
Enormous quality and enormous experience.
[commentator in English] Kick out to Micić, he'd made one three.
Bogdanović has had the hot hand. He drops it in.
Bogdan Bogdanović, he's got 20!
[Wade] Bogdan has been playing with this team for a very long time.
You get guys that are… maybe third-tier type talents in the NBA
become one-tier type talents in the Olympics.
[commentator] Now Bogdanović from deep, he got it!
What a game for Bogdan Bogdanović with 28!
They're playing for their country. It's a different pride that they have
when they put that jersey on, you can see it.
You can see it on the look on their faces.
[commentator] What a game for Bogdanović, dropping in a 30-point game.
[Bogdan] Becoming all-time national leading scorer of Serbia
was one of the biggest accomplishments of my career.
But when you play for national teams, what matters is the end of the story.
How did you finish your championship?
[commentator] Serbia comes up with the win,
on to Paris for the quarterfinals in men's basketball.
[all shouting excitedly]
[overlapping shouts in Serbian]
- [laughter] - [clapping]
[excited shouts]
[in Serbian] What… you don't hug your coaches?
[clapping]
First the players.
[noise dies down]
- Who is the best? - [all] Serbia!
[upbeat music playing]
[music ends]
