Led by Carmelo Anthony, the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team set a new record into the record books in a 156-73 rout of Nigeria Olympic basketball team.

Us Olympic Basketball team : Answer to American media came in a shower of 3 points and great team-work

Us Olympics Basketball team was pounded in the US Media after they started the London Olympics tournament with two wins, but it provoked criticism of their slow starts and miserable outside shooting. Not this time though. They are rewrting the history with this 156 points they sent to Nigerian basket.

Us Olympic Basketball team already led by 26 in the first quarter, set an all-time Olympic-record 78 points in the first half and New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony scored 37 points, including an astonishing 10 of 12 3-pointers, to break the U.S. single-game scoring record in less than three quarters.

“Our guys just couldn’t miss,” said US Olympics Basketball team coach Mike Krzyzewski. Still, as far as Krzyzewski is concerned, it would be nice to have some of those 3s at his disposal for later.

“You’re going to score a lot of points doing that,” Krzyzewski said, smiling. “I hope we saved some for other games.”

Incredibly, they eclipsed the 100-point mark with 5 minutes still left in the third period of the US Basketball vs Nigerian Olympic Team Basketball game at London Olympics.

US Olympic Team breaks record at London Olympics, statement made: Gold medal is ours

Star player Kobe Bryant said on US Olympic Team s record breaking game : ” When we get hot, it’s a big problem,” . “So you have all these guys on one team and then all get hot on the same night, it’s tough.” Kobe Bryant scored 16 points, 14 points in the first quarter of USA Nigeria Olympics Basketball game — for the Americans, who scored 49 points in the opening period, left the floor leading 78-45 at the half and then doubled their total exactly in the second half. A clear show of power, accuracy and determination from US Olympics Basketball team.

US Basketball players broke the Olympic record for most points in a game with 4:37 still to play vs Nigeria, and set U.S. records for 3-pointers (26), field goals (59) and field-goal percentage (71). The last stat is incredibly amazing. 71 % shooting from the floor is exceptional.

“It’s a great accomplishment to get that record,” stated a happy Carmelo Anthony, who broke Stephon Marbury’s scoring record at international level, of 31 against Spain at 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

When Andre Iguodala hit a 3-pointer with 4:37 left, the Americans had surpassed the previous Olympic record of 138 points set by Brazil against Egypt in 1988 Seul Olympics. When the record was announced to the mesmerized crowd, all the players seated on the U.S. bench got up and walked single file past Krzyzewski, slapping hands with their coach and the rest of US Olympics Basketball Team staff.

Who is the real Dream Team? US Olympics Basketball Team for 2012 London or Dream Team of 1992 ?

Ah… then there is the endless debate and comparison with the US Dream Team 1992. The 2012 US Olympics Basketball Team even one-upped the 1992 Dream Team. The 83-point margin of victory was the largest in U.S. national team history, eclipsing the 79-point spread when Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Co. beat US political rival Cuba 136-57 in their first game at 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.

The Americans seemed intent on breaking Nigeria’s spirit, and when that was accomplished with ease, they made a profound statement with their marksmanship.

Nigeria was the unfortunate first team obliged to get the dire message.

“When they shoot like this, I don’t know if there is any team that can beat them,” said Ike Diogu, one of the Nigerians who promised not to be intimidated by the Americans, who has a NBA career. Carmelo Anthony agreed. “It could have been anybody out there on the court playing against us,” he stated. “When we shoot like that, shoot that well, the percentages that we shot out there tonight was just incredible. Everybody contributed, 1 man through 12 men.

On a night like this, Team USA would without a doubt have beaten anyone. Nigeria, obviously. Spain, Argentina, Russia, Lithuania—no one in this tournament could withstand that onslaught. This bunch of US Olympics Basketball team would not only have beaten the ’92 Dream Team, they would have run them off the court. Yes, there i said it.
