The Best of the Dream Team at the Barcelona 92 Olympics | Throwback Thursday 

Michael D yeah then the next day we all know what happened😂 Mike and the team was really mad to have underestimated these kids

@Michael D Didn't the coach purposefully try to get them to lose just so the team would realize it is possible that they could lose.

@@cheesemccheese5780 Yeah, so they lose on purpose.

I remember reading about that practice game, red vs blue, the greatest game nobody saw.

Nothing to brag about during these times america was really the only country that focused on basketball

LOL

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Mul luung Then got blown out.

@Mul luung You cannot call it 'them' when it was minus Jordan

@MUFC what’s ur point? that’s not because it’s the best it’s because it’s the easiest to get into. In poor countries anyone can get a back and kick it but not everyone has a hoop to shoot on or shoulder pads for football. Soccer is simply the only sport possible to play in a lot of poor countries. That being said, there’s no way to constitute what sport is the “best” in the end it’s a matter of oppinion. So any argument about it is inherently misguided

Without question. The teamwork and chemistry was top-notch, and that's even before considering their immense talent. No one was trying to hog the ball and be the star, the rebounds and assists were just as impressive as the scoring. If this team had created a their own franchise in the NBA, they would have been unstoppable.

As a Detroit kid and Pistons fan I'll say that was just Chuck Daly sprinkling that "Daddy Rich" magic in the locker room, this guy was more father figure than coach in Detroit and one of the best dressed NBA coaches in history dude was always extra crispy.

Except Isaiah belonged on this team over Stockton, and CL didnt belong at all.

@@1011skarn should’ve been Shaq and isiah Thomas on this team

The music and video quality makes it seem like it's a scene from Full House where Steve Urkel guest stars and invents some potion to give DJ Tanner super athletic powers.

Kevin Arias you don't have to argue it. This is all facts

Juan Hernandez correct. To argue it would mean you are either deluded or have an agenda or are too young to have witnessed it.

This statement can t be denied at all. It was truely the greatest team ever assembled in the history of mankind.(all sports included)

Aleksandra Chmykhalova Not at all,the best team in sports was the brazilian world cup teams from 1958 to 1962.They made this sport go global :) Maybe second :)

This... yes, but you forget Senna/Prost on McLaren also. Senna is the only other Sportsman in the Same League of MJ. (Yes, I know something about MA, but not as these 2.)

Player comes back to the bench - "Oh man, did you see Jordan just dunk on me? That was awesome!"

They got autographs and took pics with them too! LMAO.

MJ fouled a guy from Japan and he was openly weeping taking the free throws. Not from injury, but because Jorden touched him. No joke

@@yourmomsbox7455 bro that's amazing 😭

@@yourmomsbox7455 There was no Japanese basketball team at the '92 olympics. I still enjoyed the story tho.

" NEVER HEARD OF THESE GUYS" ????? EUROPEAN ??? GET OUT OF HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@felixcoria4583 i doubt it.perhaps he's from another dimension.😂😂😂

really? you never heard of these guys??

Lived in a cave in Europe??? Never heard of Jordan?

Same. Basketball isn’t anywhere near big in Europe.

Michael Harlan This was the main reason I watched these Olympics. I never had watched before.

Wow

Christian Laettner didn't deserve to be part of that team.

No dream without Isiah Thomas.

It is disaster...

Just imagine: Laettner and Mullin out Wilkins and Thomas in

Imagine the Globetrotters actually was the entire U.S. Olympic team oh my gosh

Haha.. so true. They were just warming up and having Fun in "Olympic" !!!!!!!!

I thought the Generals were due

@@jamesgates1074 He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it! Take the ball!

That's the Harlem Globetrotters team!!

I'll always remember him elbowing that player from Angola.

Barkley was the team's leading scorer at the Olympics. The US's opponents had an incredibly tough time finding anyone who could match up to him (or Karl Malone) physically, one on one.

Barney Chan thank you!!!

"And laettner" lol poor guy

@@professortusk He was paid over $60 mill during his time in the NBA. Don't feel too bad for him 😂

Imagine Shaq for Laettner

three of the greatest to ever touch a basketball in your starting five is already insane. with one of the best point guards and one of the best power forwards coming off the bench. crazy

Looks like a Harlem Globetrotters game. 🤣

"Just pass it to Will."

the music is from john devereaux here to stay

Not trying to go against what you said but it sounds kind of 80's to me

David Diehl late 80’s & beginning 90’s

@@davidmartinez4309Yes. The music from the last minute of the video is also from Curtis Schwartz - Rap Attack

They're playing against OLYMPIC basketball teams & making it look like the Harlem Globetrotters *VS* the Washington Generals. 🤣

Why is it underrated?

No greater team have ever been assembled. They taught the world how basketball is really played.

Prob

And LeBron said the 2012 Team could beat them😑😑😑

@@t3productions591 that boi trippin

@Straight Pride LBJ individually as GOAT?

I was in my dads 🏀🏀 at that time 😂. I was born 12 years later after the 92 Olympics. I was missing out 😢😢😢😢

I did hear they did a lot of drinking and late night card playing. Imagine if they actually took it more seriously.

Yup lol

16 JJ And apparently the only time he slept was during film session in the locker room on the floor with a towel as a pillow....And that was a cat nap at best.

That happend the whole 90's bro

David Robinson? Never. Most others - yes - & still the greatest team ever

Μagic and Bird were already retired. The rest were at their prime. Laettner doesn't count.

You forgot Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem.

you know it.

That's why I'm here hahaha

I can't stop

Yep!

thanks for posting this, wow.

My favorite era they were monsters

Teams were taking pictures more that trying to win, except Oscar Schmitt from Brazil

Jon Murdock losbukis

Valeu irmão

poshko41 win or lose they were there playing and spectators like us weren't even on the bench.

Think about this.....by 1992, Bird was maybe 3/4 the player he had been a few years earlier because of his back injuries....and magic wasn't totally his old self of course either... they still played great, but if they were in mid-eighties form....OMG

@@lloyddobbler3512 yes if they were in their 1980s prime..we saw magic Johnson in 1992 was slower than he was in 80s..while Larry Bird was due for retirement..

The warriors>dream team

you can't compare a club when they train every day together and a national team....

Eric Moreno No just no.

@@ericmoreno7219 They can't even beat Chicago Bulls in Jordan Pippen 's era .

@@ericmoreno7219 kawhi says Hi now ahahhahhaa

Wish we still had 90s vibes in 2024 😢

all these guys, on both teams, knew what they were watching

Basketball in their maximun expression?

Jugoslavija didn't play that year becouse of war, they will beat them. Drazen Petrovic, Sasa Djordjevic, Perasovic, Daniilovic, Zdovc, Kukoc, Paspalj, Divac, Savic, Radja, Vrankovic

@@sara_shakira no,no,no..As much as i love the Plavi association [I'm a Panathinaikos fan so I fell in love with players like Bodiroga,Rebraca,Paspalj,Radja,Vrankovic who played for my team (so would Drazen Petrovic but he sadly passed out shortly after signing his contact with Panathinaikos) ], this is the only USA squad that no team on earth(not even this dream team of Yugoslavia or USSR) could beat. We're talking about a team comprised of the best players of all times in their respective positions. Jordan,Pippen,Robinson,Ewing,Larry Bird,Barkley,Malone,Stockton,Magic Johnson etc...This is the best team ever assembled in any sports event

Zeljko Trisic lmao stfu

@@sara_shakira wrf hahahah are u in drugs?

@@sara_shakira They wouldnt come close to beating them u idiot. Facts.

Yes..but Yugoslavia in fact had a much better team than the USSR a year or two before these Olympics....and it was also collapsing. :)) I'm not saying they could ever beat The Dream Team, but maybe it would be a much better game maybe. Croatia which was half of ex-Yu team, fell apart the second half, they just couldn't follow a bit anymore because of not so deep roster of top players like in whole yugoslavian team from 90-91 (World and European champions). Nevertheless for me as a Croatian this finals was of greatest honour and a biggest thing then, I started to really watch and follow nba from that point, at age of tvelwe :))

@@TheFikfreak A Yugoslavia vs Dream Team Olympic Final would've been legendary.

joesakic91 Lebron has most losses for team USA with highest record of 4 losses.... Thanks Mr James

International competition is so much different today. Also, there is nothing the 92 team did that can’t be done even better in today’s game.

Laughable

@@tatumsh9 92 team had zero competition. That team would destroy 2012 team

92 team was full with a bunch of declining players.. y'all act like y'all didn't see this... mj and pippen would guard lebron and Kobe, but after that kd and Westbrook speed would just dominate

Victor Honoret Brazil 2002 Fútbol ?

Imagínate si a este equipo llegan más jóvenes Bird y Magic. Pfffff

Stefie Pohl If the college player they added had been Shaq and not Laettner, it would have been all 12.

the song is from john devereaux here to stay

joesakic91 2012 should be dream team 3, 2004 dishonored American basketball cant believe Lebronze and those guys lost

joesakic91 underestimating that 96 squad. Inside and out dominance.

@@josephjohnroe3678 Yes Hakeem Olajuwon was there

1- 92 2- 96 . . . . the rest

teiko middle school basketball team

Soon thereafter, Spain became the next best basketball country in the world.

Scallywag You lies like pro.

@@jordanccada With white guys

I heard this too lol you guys believe the dream team had something to do with it?

3 legends? You had 11 legends and a college legend

@Michael D Jordan played only 8 minutes in the first game and on the next day Dream Team beated college team with 102 points difference. But yeah, they have lost.

Already happened

@Lem Lovel oh please...

@Lem Lovel lol, bullshit shows your extreme lack of basketball acumen.
