- Dream Team USA III is at it again with another blowout win...only this time Australian point guard Shane Heal buries three pointers from everywhere on the court and Team USA can't seem too stop him..LOL

A nobody? In Australia, Heal was a sporting icon and minor celebrity known for his tell-it-like-it-is attitude. He played in 4 Olympics, 2 NBA seasons, was the premiere point-guard in the Australian league for over a decade. Down here, he's more recognised than Luc Longley. The NBA was only just starting to open up for international players in the 90s. I suspect if Heal was 25 now, he'd have got the full NBA experience he deserved. One of the greatest LONG range shooters I've ever seen.
😂😂😂😂, SALTY!!!😂😂😂
@@Greenthinglikesme7291 seven years too late champ
Heal played on Minnesota Al most brought them back low key if they kept feeding him the ball I recall back to back 3's and they were down by 6 they dissed his overall in NBA live
Facts
@@elonmartin3294 FULL NBA EXPERIENCE.
Every so often I come back and watch this video... Just to see Shane Heal shoot those 3's... Bloody brilliant, especially that crazy off balance stepback
Total legend
Michael Jordan career playoff PER: 28.6
Shane Heal career playoff PER: 105.2
i remember shane heal , that dude never missed.
Who's here after watching joe ingles' interview?
thanks for posting this. I remember watching this game as a 10y.o. and even though we were never going to win, it was great to see my national team play against the best. Great to see Shane Heal standing up to Charles Barkley again.
I remember watching this. We (aussies) almost always had our asses handed to us playing the Dream Team, but there was always someone pissing them off, in this case Heal
Well u.s players actually from Africa and were slaves so they got stronger over time . U s is the biggest fraud in sports
Shane Heal was ahead of his time. The Aussie Steph Curry - before Steph Curry was a thing! Just look at that crazy step back at 6 minutes...
Bloke could probably fit right into the modern NBA nice and fine. Glad to see he has a daughter playing in the WNBL.
You can't leave Heal gaps like that 🤣🤣
I remember this game, Barkley was so pissed at him, he just wouldn't back down.
Was this the game where Barkley tried to frighten Heal & Heal told him to f... off?
😂
Dam Shane Heal was ballin for Australia!
Commentator conveniently forgets to mention Barkley almost took Heal's legs out after he let go of the three.
if curry was shooting those threes instead of heal and it was nowadays he would have gotten foul calls on a couple of those threes. shows how the rules have changed
In retrospect, the Hammer's style of play may very well be the the catalyst of how the game is played today.
Im from Australia and prior to this game I was thinking GO USA! but after this game I was so dam proud of AUSTRALIA! They played with their hearts against the might of the USA.
This video doesn't show Bradtke blocking olajuwon and then Malone in succession then gaze throwing it to heal for a 3 pointer.
They did alley oops against the dream team. Wow!
AUSTRALIA Lost but they won me as a fan in this game and hey... We are getting better better!
And more Australians are starting to play in the nba.
Awesome for posting this. Australia played alot better against the Dream Team in the 1996 Olympics semi-finals. They were able to stay with the USA for half of the game, largely thanks to Gaze and Heal. But Reggie Miller was able to lock up Gaze in the 2nd half and the USA won by 20.
Barkely was interviewed by a Australian television network and said some very nice things about the Australian team after the sem-final.
Heal's efforts and the Gaze to MacKinnon alley were the moments that made me think Aussie basketball was on the rise. Took a few decades but the gap has closed.
Decades ahead of his time, Shane Heal would've kicked off the 3 point era in the NBA long before the splash brothers, were he given a real chance.
Facts
I mean they been other great shooters like drazen stojakovic ray Allen etc. we always had shooting but splash bros revolutionized it
This was so fun to watch. Heal lighting it up and Barkley trying to choke him, then the hug at the end. What a show!
USA was so pissed with Shane Heal, lol.
I love to watch Shane Heal. never heard him before that year. and stunning by the skill he show there. i dont see anyone doing like him till now (see the situations he shots)
Shane Heal!!! What a SNIPER!
Never thought id ever see Chuck passing to Shaq lol
Shane Heal on fire!
Heal...what a legend!!
He won an NBA contract with the T-Wolves not long after this game. Played a season or two. Never got the minutes to make an impact. Spent the bulk of his career playing in Australian National Basketball League. One of the best LONG distance shooters I've ever seen. Aussie sporting legend.
Heal also developed his game later in his career. He was a far better player a few years after this exhibition game when he led Sydney to the championship.
reggie miller dunks like he's never attempted a dunk before in his life
😂😂😂
He's careful not to break off an arm
As a Pacers fan I can attest to this. Two hand flush
Reggie was never a high flyer.
He was ahead of his time.He was only doing what Chef Curry does now.
So true
do u have the semi final when they played again and andrew gaze went off??
Wow!...Charles was a beast on the inside.
8:30 That dunk by Sam McKinnon is awesome as fuck...
I remember this game. The day I knew about a great shooter from Australia named Shane Heal. Barkley and others tried to intimidate him.
unforgettable performance for shane heal.
Boomers ahead of the times. Banging down 3's, bad passing and turn overs, alley ooping the shit, forcing a team to play fundamental basketball, losing championships.
I play wendesday nights basketball with Shane heal. HIS SO AMAZING! im only turn 19 and omg. He playedlast night 4v6 and he scored around 50 points end score was 134 to 72. His team won.
Now if only Heal can heal his compatriot Ben Simmons' shooting or lack of which.
At the end-of-game shaking of hands
with Barkley.
Heal: Yo momma just swalllowed my splashes downtown.
I had this game taped on video for years.
Shane Heal is a gangsta!!!!!
It's the Shane Heal show. He was on fire that night.
2:50-2:52-4:11: Chuck has no filter😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Acting like someones asked him to stay back late at work or something 😆
@@rowanb4395 Very true🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Yo that little blond hair dude, heel. Was giving it to them from deep on everybody’s heads. Respect for that dude for not backing down and stepping up and having an all time game for a losing and unmatched team
I remember watching this game and thinking how great Shane Heal was.
Stockton at the end of the game said "You need more than just a 3 point shot to make it in the NBA" . At the time I thought Stockton was just being a prick.
Heal did play in the NBA and so did Gaze because they both could shoot the lights out but their play making skills were just not NBA standard.
Also, (and this is probably the main thing) Heal didn't have the speed to guard NBA point guards and Gaze could never guard anyone.
In the end Stockton was right.
***** thats because they dont know what the olympic games is all about. they keep their street hoop attitude.
Stockton, Malone and Barkley are all just jealous of Gaze
***** When they let the NBA players play internationally, it was the first time the best of the NBA played on one team competitively. The "exhibition" was to see how severely they could destroy other teams (they didn't hold back!) That's where the excitement and jingoism came from. It's actually was disgraceful and I'm surprised by the commentator when he's talking about Heal verbally retaliating against Charles Barkley after Heal got bumped hard twice (I'm sure Heal thought he deserved the foul, which he DID!) Had it not been an exhibition game, Barkley would have received a technical for that chest bump. Another antic like that would have got him kicked out of the game.
I think the current sports culture in the US is less jingoistic as we see the community in a much more international light (ironically, the "Dream Team" years boosted the competitiveness of basketball on the international stage.) Although there's still a little of that (we'd punch our grandma's if they play for the other team) mentality. It's less of a jingoistic thing. :)
Being a Jazz fan, you always have a chip ob your shoulder. Many NBA fans and players can be disparaging on Utah in general (less a bigotry issue and more of small-marketing phenomenon in this age I would think.) Jazz fans are known to be extremely belligerent during games. It's kind of the fun of being at Jazz game. Also, we're really loyal (most of us) to our players. We already LOVE Dante and he hasn't even played a regular season game! Also, hoping Motum makes the team (was fun to watch in Summer League.) By the way, DON'T LET THEM WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! HAHAHA.
Surprised John dissed Heal though. He was usually known for being a nice guy (although so incredibly competitive he was known for playing dirty on the floor.) He leads the NBA all-time in steals and assists for a reason I guess.
gaze couldn't play defence and heal was too small for NBA
well said bob james..............shane heal did bring championships to my beloved sydney kings tho
Some of the best players ever
love how heal gives it back to barkley, charles deserved it to taking out heal in the air cause he was getting put to the sword.
Notice NO ONE has a single TATTOO?
Exactly, back when the game was pure. No tattoos, no social media bullshit, just pure basketball.
Yeah the good ole days
Yep before hip hop culture became Main Stream in America.
@@jonmcclane7433 not just usa
Jon McClane hip hop around this time was already in main stream America lol.
2:50 Barkley shouting to the USA Ref "These guys ain't from America, f'k'em" ...oh boy
6:37 “He shot that from Provo for crying out loud” 😂😂
I had this whole game on VHS back in the day.
Shane Heal was kicking some ass.
Malone, and Gaze. Heal us against the BARKLEY's of the world. Seriously, Malone is a hero.
Barkley acted like a real fool in this game, what an embarrasment
At least everybody remembers who Charles Barkley is. NBA superstar! Shane who?
@@jasonritchie8357 Australian Basketball doesn't get the recognition the u.s does.
Players generally aren't as skilled or exciting, isn't our game.
But that don't change that Barkley was a huge piece of shit in this game.
@jason ritchie
I love Barkley, always did...says what he feels and doesn't hold back...
But I watched this game andBarkley was acting a fool...zheal wascl making them look bad holding onto a game that was written before it started.
@@jasonritchie8357 Heal. The guy bigmouth barkley couldnt intimidate.
what do expect, it's Charles Barkley
Barkley cheap shot on a 6 foot Shane Heal.
I have this game on tape too. This game was a friendly game supposedly, leading up to actual the Olympics.
Barclay was a grub! sore winner , sore loser. Smart as a box of rocks!
Just a misunderstanding in terms of intercontinental sportsmanship and competitiveness. Happens in rugby all the time
Wasn’t called for a foul though, and he showed sportsmanship after the game.
shane heal was the man back in the day
Shane heal is the 90s version of Patty Mills
Heal was like "i don't give a fuck who you are mate." Lol
Watching this game brings back some memories hahaha….Shane Heal played well and I have never seen Reggie Miller dunk it so many times in my life in a single game
I remember watching this game live on Saturday back in 96.
Much love to tha Boomers.
Shane Heal killed it.
Scott Fisher shouldn't have been there lol
Sir Charles was a grub
Much respect to Hubie Brown on the commentary 100%
fuck yeah, i remember that game as well :), we were goin nuts cheerin for the boys all game, against one helluva stacked dream team, pippen, hill, shaq, stockton, malone, fuck me dead, just to name a few.. n heal top scores, and gets under the skin of barkley (dont worry bout sir charles, we love that shit, we're mostly rugby fans anyway- well, afl i should say #1 here, bastards.. :)), i always figured he called him a cunt for that cheap shot n good on him.. n barkley woulda over-reacted a bit not knowin how much we really use the word cunt, n its not really, as harsh here.. so yeah, we just had it as, barkley bein barkley, n aussie bein aussie, with a little cultural miscommunication thrown in, all equaling bloody good entertainment, as long as it stays on the court, n everyone can shake hands and have a beer after..
I watched it when i was in year 3 in primary school on the friday in australia.everyone in primary school was shooting like heal on the monday.
dude - who is this guy ??? i watch/play ball full time and didnt know him. LOVE IT ! what a beast. Seems he's been doing that stuff in the nba too. Shane Heal... Gotta find out more.
Heal was ballin here man...Barkley one of my fav players...He was just frustrated...Props to the Aussie boys, played through the physicall ball...USA didnt expect it...reason why they were frustrated...
Chuck is a character, hahaha! But you see how he showed respect to Heal for standing up against him. Hahaha.
Lol Barkley at 2:50 goes "they're not from America fuck them" to the ref.
Shane was dominating this game
Barkley dropping the f bomb right in front of the network tv camera right after the four minute mark
Heal became a national hero for this ,
That was in Salt Lake on the Delta Center floor (Jazz homer here.) I don't remember it for some reason (even though this was the year Stock and Malone went to the NBA finals against the Bulls.) Makes me feel a little embarrassed for USA basketball where that was an exhibition game. Supposed to be a friendly but Charles Barkley and Karl Malone never knew the definition of friendly apparently. :)
I love Karl, but it's no small fact that everyone hated playing against him (even his own teammates in practice) because they usually had their ample share of pain. :) Even Enes Kanter (3rd year Jazz player from Turkey) commented on Malone in his 50's being rough in the paint when Karl was mentoring him!
Yeah, players don't really get away with the bumps anymore. It was okay to clobber each other in the NBA back then. Detroit kinda made a name for themselves doing it. I think they are just more subtle about it now. :)
and the funny shit is now they all cry cause little delly plays too hard.. :)
Why would you expect Barkley and Malone to turn it off? Those guys are world class competitors, that's how they play. If MJ or Bird were there, they'd have it turned up all game...no apologies.
Barkley was a good guy to Heal after the game, he can respect what that guy did.
Actually this was 1996, not 1997 the Sonics played the Bulls this year
4:12 Barkley lets out some expletives.
Shane Heal Amazing !!
Wow an Australian Steph Curry before Steph Curry lol
heal was on fire!
Is Shane Heal the original step back 3?
Luc sat out the Olympics to heal after the NBA season. He would of made a big difference in the bronze medal game. Yes, they were always going to lose this one, but he was the Starting C for the Bulls, and had the Bulk and knowledge to play against the US. Heal thought he was going to get e real shot until the T-Wolves drafted Marbury.
Heal WAS a Baller. He caught fire a few times in the NBA as well. But never got the minutes. Bradtke played bits of 2 NBA seasons. Aussie teams did great screens
Yeah. The Jazz logo and clear "Delta Center" writing on the floor definitely lead me to believe it is Atlanta and not Salt Lake City.
shane heal increible
I came here after Joe Ingles interview with chuck
4:30 Barkley a disgrace. This is an NBA all star team against Australia. You don’t go under the other player when he is shooting. Justice served. Heal nails the long range bomb despite being maliciously fouled.
Shane is the type of guy who would hit 8 threes, go surfing, then go to your old lady’s house and tell her to cook him a t-bone medium rare, she would like it, and there wouldn’t be one thing you could do about it
Its fun watching basketball
Heal: Copes said you're the man!
lol
I could watch this alllll day. Shane Heal is a fucking sharpshooter
2:51 sorry Charles, could you repeat that for me?
Looking at John Stockton = perfect point-guard.
Stockton and Barkley were talking to him during the game telling him he needs more than a 3 point shot to make it in the NBA. Well today that wouldn't be true lol.
Probably a good thing there were 20-some other dudes and refs in there to keep Barkley away from Heal. Wouldn't have ended too good for Heal one on one.
Strill remember watching this game In Aus, enjoying the game, and being in awe of the talent on the floor for the US. Second-best basketball team ever assembled.
If Barkley started anything......Vlahov would have finished it.
Pretty sure Shaq would have had the final word in that regard.
Curled jus givin us 1 image. But the 92 team was the best. Nice clean domination wid total swag
Charles Barkleys 2021 shade brought me here hahah
dosnt mean he cant be in this one? scottie pippin and charles barkley were in that one as well but they are playing? he was playing in 1996
Here in 2021 after Shane Heal’s daughter gets drafted.
"They're not from America, fuck 'em"
Charles showing his true colours.
This was avery good lineup
He barely got any court time. For some reason NBA coaches seem to hate Aussies. Look at Patty Mills, he puts up 37, 38 point games yet still they bury him at the end of the bench!
Is this from the Olympics?
I'm pretty sure he meant that the '96 Games were in Atlanta. Not this exhibition game.
Heal owned Barkley. Charles cheap shot and heated battle with Heal was nothing more than an attempt to put him off his game which obviously didn't work.
Also would have been embarrassing for Barkley that a man a foot shorter than him was ready to go the knuckle.
If that Shane Heal played in 2012 he wouldve made the NBA easily but back in 1996 (90s in general) the NBA was loaded with greatness and depth. Today outside of your LBJ's, Kobe's, and D-Roses the league isnt as deep and great.
Charles Barkley was quoted as saying that this particular USA team(There was only ONE Dream Team) didn't really get along and that guys were complaining about playing time...Pretty intriguing...I mean they dominated everybody! I'd put this team over the 2012 version!
@CrazyFoo501
and Robinson I forgot David Robinson
Usa always wins im aussie but at least this game they struggled to mark Heal and he sored at will that was the best thing about this video
I remember that Aussie Team, Andrew Gaze, Scott Fischer...
wow shaq's basket at 5.10!
Que propio ese blanquito deberia jugar para Estados Unidos, que calidad sin duda alguna.
