Serious question: is sharing the purpose of learning 'fun facts'?
The fact that some people say most of the international players in 24’ were role players doesn’t make sense because basically every single international player was a role player in 92’. The competition is ten times harder today

The Croatian team in 1992 had 3 NBA hall of famers, and the Dream Team beat them by 32. How many future hall of famers are on any ONE of the international teams today? One on two different teams that I can see, but THREE? Laettner is the ONLY player on the Dream Team that is not in the HOF. How many of this team's players will end up there? My guess - not 11.
So what does that have to do with the greatness of the dream team?

My analogy on this - the 1992 Team USA were like an NBA team playing against middle school teams, 1996 played against high schoolers,, 2008 played against college teams, 2012 played against D-Leaguers, and the 2024 team played against other NBA teams which is their peers. It's been three decades, of course the rest of the world would catch up to US talent.
Lol 😂 not even close, the us got massacred in 04. This team currently is a hype job by the media.
It’s just a hype of the media to engage basketball fans. Your Level of competition from international country take is valid because after 1992 the world was building up.
That is why jmxhighroller focused on the talent category. Most fans will based it on accolades and ppg stats. He dig deeper than it.
Thank u.. I was finna say that.
I was a huge NBA fan in the 90's, stopped watching in 1997. This year I got injured at work, and have been healing up for a year. Decided to watch the NBA again for the first time in 2024. I am like a 90's time capsule. can't believe the NBA is still on TNT at least for now. Your analogy helps me put into perspective what has happened while I was gone.
That's only part of the picture. Yes, the difference between Team USA and the world has been closing all this time. But the ability of the average pro baller, even in the NBA, has also been increasing this entire time.
Having the pool of basketball talent/competition widen from just the U.S. to the entire globe means the most elite players who make it to the pros now are on average much better than the pros in past decades.
So even if the current team doesn't stack up as well in recent stats compared to the Dream Team, the relative baselines that those stats are derived from are drastically different between the two eras.
2016 could've been one of the best USA teams ever. LeBron, Curry, KD, Kawhi, Harden, Kyrie, Dame, Klay, Dray, AD, Boogie, Westbrook all in their primes.
Ngl that team will smoke everyone, 5 MVPs in the peak of their powers and stars that can win games in any given night. Supreme team
Lol westbrook
Boogie? Lmao 🤡

USA just won by 24 points against Serbia and Jokic yesterday. I think they still got it, and the fact KD went for 100% from and 2 AND 3 the whole game was crazy.
Edit: Another near 20 point blowout (17 point differential) against south sudan yesterday, the same team that they were close with during the exhibition matches. Personally I think the team during the exhibitions were just finding their footing and building chemistry.
Edit 2: Yeah, so far this team won almost all of their matches by 20+ point, all they need now is to just win the gold medal and every negative narrative against them will be broken.
Edit 3: Final edit I'll be doing before the finals, I watched the Serbia vs USA game yesterday and while it was insane. I have to give Jokic and em' some credit, but all the props to Wardell Stephen Curry! He was shooting the lights out in the building that game it was actually insane.
It just comes down to focus and defense. I think the previous games are just what they are- warmups and tinkering, plus a lot of players getting back into shape.
Right. It's very possible they were taking it easy during those exhibitions
Missed a bucket for 2, but still absolutely insane.
Yeah, but Serbia also missed their 2nd and 3rd best player...
They also got beat by South Sudan lmfao. This team ain’t it
Surprised you glossed over a tell in the 92 Gold Medal game. The Dream Team's closest score was 30 points against 7 NBA players. Mind you, those guys weren't on their level, and most, not all, most were middling NBA players, but that was an indicator of what the future held. After 1992, the level of international play and skilled players grew rapidly. Many of the gifted kids who dreamed of playing football (soccer), suddenly found themselves inspired by the Dream Team, not to mention scouts keying in on guys already on the scene like Peja, Dirk, Ilgauskaus and such. Those Olympics altered the landscape of not just NBA basketball, but global hoops to the point where taking a foreign player, especially number one, is no longer considered a risk or project.
Well said
South sudan catching the 2024 avengers fighting for their lives is hilarious tho
LeBronze couldn’t even win just over 10 years after the dream team dominated everybody. What was your excuse then?

Nice read!
What you are seeing is the TH-cam effect. I am from Sweden and grew up playing basketball. I am born 1991. When I grew up it was hard to find good clips and drills to practice. A Ganon Baker DVD was the best source to basketball drills and Yinka Dare video highlights of some players. When I play Swedish 16-18 year old I am honestly surprised by how much better and drilled they are compared to when I grew up. Today, a youth coach can easily get coaching drills from NBA skill coaches and implement it into their training and Sweden has produced two players that were drafted in this years NBA draft. It is a crazy evolution. Players Swedish youth players are busting out moves that I only saw done in mixtapes of US youth players whilst dunking and being athletic freaks. During my time, teams weren’t as athletic.
Wow, thanks for sharing!
What are your thoughts on 2 swedes getting drafted this year? Klintman and Larsson.

The globalization of the NBA will mean we constantly have better and better competition. I love it. Everyone wins. Fans get closer games (the South Sudan game was great), players get better and better, and owners (probably) make more money.
Yet the US isn’t getting better
Exactly. Just look at football where there are clear favorites every tournament but where upsets frequently happen because no nation is head and shoulders above the rest.
The time where the USA win everything if they feel like sending their best players is over and it will never come back. Will they still enter every single tournament as the favorites? Sure. And they'll win the most, no doubt. But they won't win every time and it has nothing to do with the US team getting worse
@@sososnagahae8169usa players are getting soft... just like the current t generation.

And it shows internationally when they play against organized basketball with less talent
@@chucknorris277name checks out, boomer.
As basketball fans we NEED to also acknowledge other international teams have really improved over the decades and offer more of a challenge to the USA
Edited for the low iQ people: No one said the USA hasn’t improved too or that they’re worse players or that they don’t have the best players, the comment SIMPLY stats the competition has gotten much better compared to the 90s, which was also the conclusion of the video, you don’t know much about basketball if you think the USA should be consistently winning by 40 points 😂
It's not that the other teams have improved (which they have), it's that as Jxmmy pointed out Americans are no longer the best players in the world. Statistically Jokic and Luka are the best players currently, and the entire dream team roster (minus Laetenner) is closer to those players than any player on Team USA today.
@@ncT31541 That literally is what that means? BPM and WS/48 are relative to their time period, they aren't objective metrics. It's not that those players all just happened to be better than modern players, because they would be a wildly incorrect statement, it just means the relative competition is tougher. The talent pool is simply 4x bigger than it has ever been. This isn't a knock against 90's players but they were objectively playing against significantly weaker competition even in the NBA.
Sooo the rest of the world got better and the USA players didn't? Then how are these USA players better than 92 team of they haven't gotten any better than 92

The two big differences between 1992 and 2024: 1) basketball has exploded internationally and now you got guys goings against teams that have been playing together since they were 16 and 2) the talent ceiling might be similar but the floor is waaaay higher today than it was back in the day
Using the UK as an example. When I left school in 2010 we were county champions in basketball. I think only one kid on our team actively played for a club (same one Jeremy Sochan played for), the rest of us (myself included) were just roped in from other sports.
Now local schools have so much talent that some kids going off playing for colleges in the US, and there's even been a kid playing in the NBA from the area (Jeremy Sochan).
And that's the UK - other areas in Europe at 10+ years ahead of us.

Everyone’s gotta understand that the reason these games are so close is because the world has caught up in basketball. There’s more international competition. We should be even glad they were able to not lose any games. Not to consider the fact that our best players are really old right now. Basketball as a whole will only expand from here on out.

@@SadBoysCollectiveCirca96 agreed but that’s only because basketball is expanding. You’re proving my point as to why we shouldn’t be as hard on them with playing these games
The world has caught and you guys fell asleep for good 30 years, let be honest here. There's no way you evolve playing a team game like it's a 1v1 show
these games are close because the NBA soften up the rules for more points that is good forTV, FIBA rules is more physical and strict, imagine those players they are against are playing with that rules from day-1.. and the NBA players especially these stars will get calls that are typically not called on them on the NBA court.. and not to mention the quality of players also caught up to their skill level..
@@Jakester_33 that’s also true

It’s not just that foreign nations have more NBA talent, but also that international leagues have raised their level of play. The non-NBA talent filling out the rosters is playing at a high level which was not true in the past
Exactly, players like Bruno Caboclo, Aleksa Avramovic, and Arturs Zagars may not be NBA players, but they're very capable of keeping up with NBA players, containing MVP level players, or straight up outplay their teammate that's in the NBA.

This aged well
Just take it from Michael Jordan's arguement that 11 of the 12 players on the Dream Team are Hall of Famers speaks volumes. No team has come close on the number of HOFers in one squad. You can make an argument that Christian Laettner is the best college player ever and may soon enter the HOF because of his Duke resume in the future.

I think a part of this is also caused by the approach of the players coming into this. In '92, the bulls GM had signed toni kukoc to try and replace Scottie Pippen, and thanks to that, MJ and Pippen were playing with a huge chip on their shoulders, motivated to show everyone that they're better and shouldn't be replaced.

This is the case with all sports. The US invented association basketball like the UK invented organised Cricket or even Football (Soccer) but due to globalisation and colonisation each sport saw greater exposure from vast range of countries around the world. As time passed this exposure turned to growth and a demonopolising of US/UK dominance, European players are the consensus best in basketball, South Americans do the same in soccer and Indian/Australians have a stronghold in cricket.
It’s interesting to see the development of overseas basketball from how close they’re getting to beating team USA
Everyone else works on defence and team chemistry. The US just slaps some stars together and hopes for the best.
It is so obvious to see when you watch the US play against anyone else.
the US in Lost in 2004 . In 2008 Kobe had to go Crazy in the 2008 Finals against Spain in the gold Medal game . 2012 &2016 were great squads competitive games .2020 KD really carried the Squad So USA BBall hasn’t been the Cake walk we think it is
As a fan from one of those other countries: before '92 professional players weren't allowed to compete in the Olympics. So, like most of us, I had not seen any of the Dream Team players actually play ever. That tournament was a moment with a distinct Before and After. Basketball went from obscure to let's- mount- whatever- passes - for- a-rim-and-board- onto- every- wall. 92 widened the talent pool to include the world because we wanted to play now.
Wow, thanks for sharing.
Oh it is the greatest USA Basketball team ever. Unquestionable 🥇🥇🥇
4:55 you said it yourself, the dream team took basketball to a global scale.
Doesn’t mean there the greatest
at 10:00 Jokic is literally off the chart that held every olympian in USA basketball history.
We dont play d. Plain and simple. The rest of the world has caught up for sure, but the other thing is they have great great shooters at every position. You cant help,: the guy youre leaving open is a marksman. So its all one on one and a lot of super stars are used to having help on d.
That’s partially true. However, he did point out this is an old team meaning these guys aren’t necessarily past their prime but aren’t dominant as they use to be ( ex: 2018 Lebron, 2016 Curry, 2013 KD) I do think if Bron and Steph Joined the 2016 team it would’ve been up there with the dream team.
You know. I love your channel. It’s unequivocally the best basketball channel. Hands down.
But man I need more content!
I think international basketball has just improved a lot over the years as the game has gotten more popular worldwide. That’s why the games are a lot closer/competitive
And if you add to that the fact that todays US players are a bunch of entitled kids (basically influencers with a basketball) and the EU players are really hard working because they really want to get to the NBA ($$$), even though this US team in paper looks stacked AF, I really don't think they will win, unless they do what they are doing already and winning in FT disparity (cheating)... Sudan should have won btw
So basically nothing can happen for you to think 92 dream team is just better than this one ?
Dream Team 92 not only globalized basketball, but basketball has remained one of the biggest highlights at the Olympic Games ever since. Even bigger than football
I think that’s because the World Cup is by far the biggest sporting event in the world. Most National teams see the Olympics as “preseason”.
@@kilroywashere9678 not even that, most countries send the u-23 teams with some older guys that dont play in the real team, the football Olympics is a scouting tournament at best
Yeah but lebron fanboys ( not nba fans ) disrespect and discredit these all time greats that paved the way for these guys today . And every chance they get , try to bury them , klutch has been on a campaign this last year trying to bury mj and his career , because lebron is retiring soon .
@@kauffamn1016 and mj fanboys try to sell that the NBA back then was better than today
@@G0A7 the sport itself was at its golden age back in the 90s. Mj was so good , and very marketable , he globalized the game for good . And now lebron is retiring soon , him
And his team are tearing down mjs legacy ?? For what ? To try and make lebron greater ? Lebron literally tried so hard to be like mj throughout his career , so why the disrespect and the tearing down , ppl wonder why he gets
No respect .
It’d be awesome to get a video with a breakdown of just how bad Dražen Petrović was. The guy was a killer.
Thanks for clearing that up Jxmy. I'm aware time is the most valuable thing and I just wanted to tell you I greatly appreciate all the precious time you spend researching.
When it comes down to the wire, Bron has 1 thing over the rest. That is experience for his 20+ years in the game. I remember when I watched the 1992 Dream Team and was in awe at all of their talent being displayed everywhere. It was at that time, I solidified my faith in the Chicago Bulls! I now just watch highlights of certain teams but I still buy and wear Jordan's...
Facts you be paying attention the rest of those players don't have the iq lebron got
Funny fact - that Lithuanian player taking a pictures at 13:04 is now a Bull's VP of basketball operations A.K. ;)
Ahhhh that's him
you could even make the argument about the last mvp's and finalist in MVP candidates in NBA, greek freak, joker, doncic, embid but he is on USA, SGA
Did you retire from youtube?
Lol
The reason why this team is struggling because of the difference in the nba rules and FIBA rules. For example in FIBA rules there is no such thing as 3 second paint violation rule which lets team to plant a big center on the paint to defend the rim as much as they want but on the other hand in NBA the 3 second violation rule benefits the offensive player to get to the bucket more easily. Even Luka Doncic said it is easier ti score in NBA than in Euro league. All international player are used to the physical game and NBA players are used to more athletic type of game.
that's not an excuse tho, other teams are also adjusting to FIBA or Olympic rules, they also have their own national league just like NBA before playing in FIBA/Olympics
@@ChonkyBoi_yt it is a terrible excuse because the other USA teams didn't struggle with it. It is however an excuse as the euro league rules are much more similar to the rule set used in the Olympics.
They’re not struggling. They’re just not trying hard. I can guarantee they will hit another gear when it officially starts.
@@NONO-hz4vo i think its pretty obvious which one have better rules🤷
FIBA rules have been different for as long as there was FIBA my friend. They're older than the NBA.
Chuck Daily didn't call a single timout during the '92 olympics. That's how good they were. The coach was just a vase
This aged well after Serbia game
I know this video is going to age like milk. Not trying to jynx it, but USA looking unstoppable rn. The chemistry, vets, rising superstars, and efficiency is overwhelming for the world.😮💨
Uh...more like fine wine!!!
Nah, US bball is doomed.
that defense at 13:22 is mind-boggling. i get that maybe it was good defense then but even if i couldn't imagine playing a zone THAT collapsed in on the paint in 2024. it looks like 5 guys trying to guard barkley and completely ignoring the 3.
Maybe it was good defense then? You have it backwards kid, defense has regressed. The defense in that era was much much much tougher than now. The other team just sucked, this was fiba, not the nba, they are not good players on the other team
@@ChaseRiver2defense hasn’t regressed, offense has just drastically progressed. Only so much you can do on defense
why defending a line no one used? tell me how young you are without telling me how young you are.
@@zeil2ifyThey’re still just standing around doing nothing. If you’re leaving multiple great players wide open for shots they can absolutely hit at a high rate you’re not playing your best defense no matter the era.
@@ChaseRiver2defense has only progressed.
Jokic casually in a league of his own
He is playing in the American league.
10:01 Jokic really just broke the scale 😯
The focus of this analysis is misplaced and many are already noticing it in the comments. The main difference between 1992 and 2024 is, the world learned to play like the NBA and then some. The US is still profiting from the fact that the League offers the biggest incentive in the world to play basketball, and the sport is a cultural phenomenon for us, thousands of kids dream of becoming one of the 400 chosen . So, every time the US faces a team with NBA players, the bench and depth of the Americans makes the difference. I don't know if this team is the best ever, but I'm damn sure that it is the absolute world best that can be made today
International play was good in the 80s and 90s. Thats the reason why the dream team formed.
Its WAYYYYY better now though
@@demodiums7216 it's better, but you can say American play is wayyyyyy worse by your measurements.

No new Olympic updates? No new video on how great curry was? Or nothing on what this does for bron legacy nothing?

@@zzthedon4kNot their fault
But people glaze too much
The biggest difference between the 92 team and the 24 team is the chemistry! Chuck Daly doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the coaching job he did with the Dream Team! He took an amazing collection of talent and got them all to buy in and put their egos aside for the greater good of the team! If you notice how they didn’t try to play hero ball with the exception of Barkley, but they needed one player to truly assert himself and Charles did that extremely well! Daly performed what is arguably one of the best coaching jobs of all time!
This aged like milk
Request for next video: Your insights about the addition of 4 point line in a professional basketball league here in our country.
Already has one
He already made that vid it’s good too
@13:20 This is a gold medal game defense!? LMAO
@@tonycostello8729crazy the closest defender to the shooter is about 15 feet away and 3 US players are open. Croatia got to the gold game with that defense tells you how bad the competition back then. No hate on the dream team, they are monsters don’t get me wrong but damn haha
3 ball was insignificant so loading up the paint and mid range was the best strat.
you are too young to understand basketball from that time. no one did shoot any threes like ever.
Lmfaoo barkley contested his own teammates shot cuz the other team couldn't
@@zeil2ifystop using this bullshit argument, laettmer was an elite 3pt shooter and they left him open, no excuse for that
the break downs jimmy does.... different levels and it gives really good perspective
Where are U bro?????
I'm here
We can't compare 2024 team with the 92 dream team. They got some of the best competition now. They get their own flowers. Let's get that gold!
WELL, this video has aged like the finest milk.
Came back to rewatch we early
Thing is: Serbia is by far stronger than those jobbers in 92. Dream Team dominated a weak competition, pretty much like Bill and the Celtics. What's more impressive: Jordan's 6 rings or Bill's 11? You already know the answer. I agree this team isn't the greatest but come on, the 92 team didn't struggle because we never got to see them against a good side. This team beating Jokic and then Wemby+Rudy would be more impressive than 92.
On paper, I take the Dream Team. But man, don't underestimate Serbia.
@@raul5081 they shoot lights out nobody is underrated thing that’s your own thought 😭😂
😂how they won gold. Cry harder
@@raul5081 '92 Croatia and Lithuania are very comparable to '24 Serbia if not better. Stop making excuses.
The Olympics FIRST included NBA basketball in 1992. The number of international players in the league rose after the formation of the 1992 Dream team. So the NBA playing against players that originally came from other countries but also play in the NBA still happened technically. They just wouldn't have joined the league. However the 1992 team would still be playing against those people. They started in their country. People say anything to build up the present teams in the media and will make you believe it with special highlights or special select wording and stats. Germany has 5x less the population. Less money ect... I laugh when the media says team USA is facing 61 NBA players and the 1992 faced far less. There is so much more I can add. I will let you think about it. Why compare the USA teams? When they act different when it comes to player comparisons.
Exactly, most clubs wouldn't let their players leave for the states because they thought it was a waste of time and most times you couldn't represent your country if you left. Also, some countries (i.e. USSR) legally wouldn't let you leave.
1:34 lmaoo the old geezer still got it
dwade carried the 2008 redeem team off the bench and you didnt even mention him he has the best overall olympic performance of all time this was the same dwade that was the nba scoring leader and was top 3 mvp and top 3 dpoy voting
Literally lead them in scoring and pretty much got them a few wins by himself. I think the reason he didn't get mentioned is that his BPM and WS/48 was really low because he was coming off of an injury. But yeah, that was Dwade at the height of his powers looking better than LeBron and Kobe on the same court.
are u dead? no video anymore????
Best basketball videos on the planet. No one goes in depth and explains it so well like this guy right here. I don’t think I’ve missed a video from him in the last 3-4 years.
10:00 of course jokic is literally almost off the chart lol 😂
I absolutely love how Jimmy details and graphs the things I be saying lol. This 24 team is great. Some amazing players, but times are different. That dominance we once saw from team USA is officially over. And for some of u in the comments it has absolutely nothing to do with Lebron or MJs greatness or lack there of. This is about how great the world has become at basketball. Period.
Amen to this. Straight to the point.
I think its both. Then you still had a good 2-3 teams that were solid contenders. People forget that those Euro leagues (look at soccer) are big business. There are divisions and they weren't allowing their best players to leave and waste time in America (legally and contractually). Sometimes NBA had to negotiate with the clubs and hold on to draft rights for 3 years.
That's why Jordan and Pippen went HAM on Kukoc because Krauss was disrespecting them by saying how great he was for 2 years even though he never played an NBA game.
Jimmy where you at? I need more basketball
I was looking for Jokic on the graph and couldn't find him until I looked at the very top right of the graph. Him and Embiid are on another level
Given the strategic role of the 92 Dream Team in the globalisation of the NBA, you could say that 'success' for basketball means Team USA regularly loosing to overseas teams. There's something poetic about that.
