I edited and cut alot in this documentary.
So now it's an action packed 37 minutes special on the best team ever assembled.
The best collection of talent in teamsports history.
I can remember lots of people here in Europe watching their games dispite having zero appriciation for basketball.
I remember all the teenagers in Europe switching from soccer to basketball after the Olympics, now that is something to remember and something we call a legacy.
2012 USA basketball team was a good team, but you can never compare different era's.
The dream team of 1992 opened doors that can't be re-opened.
That being said, I loved and still love this game, but I have only watched one single game of the 2012 USA Basketball team and I'm sorry to say, I didn't even pay attention throughout the whole game, because it just didn't do anything for me.
The 2012 team should be remembered for what they did, period.
But unlike the 1992 team, the 2012 team can't claim they made lots of kids in Europe switch to basketball, they can't claim they made non-basketball lovers tune in to watch their games. I don't know what the 2012 teams legacy will be, honestly, I have already forgotten about them, sorry to say that, but they will probably have some kind of legacy, I'm just saying that I'm not aware of it at all.

I can see how Kucoc was furious in the game against Croatia - but years later, he's just gotta know that it was the ultimate compliment. The Dream Team was steamrolling everyone, but *one man* intimidated them to the point of special plans. What an amazing player he was.

@thesnorman-graffiti3315 Год назад

Not hating on or downing Kucoc but the goal of any team, no matter how good, is to shut down the best player. So of course they locked him up, he was the star. That being said, the man was a great player. He shot the lights out!

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 Год назад

@@thesnorman-graffiti3315 I see what you're getting at and I partially agree with you, but you're leaving one glaring point out. There were not many (if any) "great international players" to be worried about for Team USA in '92. As far as I know, the only one they tried to snuff out was Kukoc. Imagine Jordan *and* Pippen on a mission to destroy *one man.* I think the goal of any team is to shut down the opposing team. They only swarm one guy if he is the biggest threat. He definitely was a great player, I'd even go so far as to say one of the top 50 all time.

@P4PKing Год назад

@@CaliforniaCarpenter7 They shut him down because the Bulls were trying to replace Pippen for Kukoc around that time. They didn't do it as a strategy to win the game. They did it as a way to make Pippen look like the much better player.

When Magic and Bird started in the NBA the attendance was down with many empty seats and the finals were tape delayed and shown at 11pm with little interest and those two guys changed that. The CBS contract paid a high price and players benefitted. It was remarkable what those two players had on the game of BB. Like Arnold Palmer in golf all players should thank these special players for the impact on their respective sports. Absolutely remarkable.

That 1992 Dream Team team overshadowed every other competition and even for people like me who weren't basket-ball fans, they became basket-ball fans. Plus this team had fun playing together and you thought it was the Harlem Globe Trotters on tour. The basket-ball competition wouldn't had been as exciting without them. For those who critisize the score difference they don't know what they're talking about. It's the same in every sport. I'm a soccer fan and if you can win by the highest margin then you do it.

I love Magic , his personality is amazing . Always laughing , smiling , and lighting up a room , or a court . He and Larry are like oil and water , Bird always serious , driven to the point of manic . Id love to be a fly on the wall when they are sitting in a room together with a couple beers /cocktails telling old war stories .

what a world, what a life, to live to see the best basketball played by the best in the world, and may not ever see any guys like this again play the game....just saying...
