Official Video Thread (Post ALL Basketball Videos Here)

It is obvious from reading this forum that 99% of US NBA fans have never seen these foreign players play. The comments around here make this very clear. I think it's a good idea to start posting youtube videos of the players from some of the best Olympic rosters, the ones that US NBA fans clearly have never seen play and know nothing about. This will help US fans to actually know the other Olympic players, which they obviously don't.

I will just post for players that have not played in the NBA or did play in the NBA but never got off the bench and no one got see them play and just for the teams that can compete for one of the 3 medals. And YES this is related to general NBA because it's information for the Olympics where Team USA, all the NBA players will be playing these guys.

(if you have a youtube account you can set your video options to view in high quality this helps a lot)

Incredible hanging one-handed shot by Jordan. The way he hangs and scissors his legs yet maintains enough control to have such a soft release at the last instant is incredible:
