They did not put college player over him. They stipulated that there was to be a college player on the team. I thought should have been Shaq, but Christian Lightner hit that ice cold winning game shot to beat Kentucky in the Championship game and his college stats were stupid.
It wasn’t up to Coach Chuck Daily ( probably misspelled his last name) it was THE NBA WHO WOULD NOT LET ISAIAH BE ON THE TEAM!!!!!! I get YOUR thoughts BUT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO DREAM TEAM IF HE WAS SELECTED!!!!!! It was ALOT else that you weren’t around for but it wasn’t his coach and THEY HAD TO PUT AT LEAST 1 college player…………IT WAS REQUIRED…….
Sorry youngblood. If Isaiah was on the team, then MJ would not be. They were not going to lose MJ. I would suggest you look up the FULL story before you judge.
It wasn't whether you'd rather have Christian Laettner or Isiah Thomas. There were a lot of people who didn't like Isiah. People point fingers at Jordan, but it wasn't just him. Even if it was just Jordan who wouldn't play with Isiah, if you had to choose between Jordan and Thomas, you could have one of them but not both, there's no question who you pick.
You just have to look at who the 3 captains of that team were. Jordan's decision is clear. Bird, in addition to suffering in his worst moments the aggressions of the Bad Boys, is also Thomas' statements supporting Rodman in his opinion of Larry. And the third captain, Magic, from being great friends with the kiss before each game goes on to be rejected by Thomas who even goes so far as to consider him gay after the virus was published.Also, even without Thomas, it could have been a team with 12 hall famers. It is said that Laettner was brought in because of a race issue, there was a center who dominated his position for years and who was the favorite to include a college student as an example of what he had been until then
The reason why Laettner was on the team was this...This was the first time allowing pros in the olympics. They also either had or wanted to include at least one amateur player. Christian was the player of the year for that year so he went.
@@alexsurles Yes, winning the championship, back to back. But before there was talk of taking someone named Shaq who was sweeping his stats and was going to be pick 1. I lived through that time and if you didn't, I recommend that you read everything published about it. And before you use it as an excuse, I'm white
Can you imagine with Thomas’ game how embarrassing to our country it would be? And after that total lack of sportsmanship that he showed (basically acting like a crying kid. ‘We lost’ don’t shake their hands). TACKY
IT didn’t earn a spot because he was unpredictable and unsportsmanlike. Nobody wanted to play with him and nobody wanted him to represent the United States of America. 🤷♀️
Hey Man, Your Missing The Point That Isiah Said Some Bad Shit About Magic & Bird That Was The Real Reason Why He Wasn’t On The Team!!!!!!!!!!! If You Don’t Believe Me Go Watch The Magic & Bird Documentary And See For Yourself !!!!!!!!!!!
No Not in college, Chris Webber was not better than Christian Lightner. You need to watch him play and put more respect on his name. Also, he was a better fit because he played smart.
IT was BFF with Magic until it was discovered he had HIV. It hurt Magic that IT was treating him different so he did not stick up for IT either. IT burned some bridges.
The coach of the Dream Team didn’t choose the team. Otherwise Isiah would have been on the team. The unsportsmanlike conduct is I think what kept him off the Dream Team. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such tacky behavior.
I knew seeing it was only 58:57 that something like that would have to happen, and when it did I stopped watching immediately. You have to do these reactions start to finish. If you can’t do it at once, break it up into parts
Don’t cut the video, then portray it as the coach left IT out. NONE of the players wanted IT on the team bc of his antics, attitude and past. Done with this vid now
IT made the higher ups that he would behave unsportsmanlike. And this was the first pros playing. I am not going to watch this. It is a shortened version.
Bro NOBODY ON THE DREAM TEAM WANTED THOMAS ON THE TEAM!!! Deserving or not!! Why would you piss off 11 to appease 1?!! Think about that!! Chris Webber wasn't a better college player than Laetner. Webber was a way better professional player than Laetner but in college it was Christian Laetner and Jamal Washburn at the top then
Son, you just watch your era of basketball. You do not know Bobby Hurley? They failed to mention he left the NBA because he almost died in a car crash. He was Nash before Steve Nash. You are very weak on your basketball history. You have no team concept. Isiah was a star, but he rubbed allot of players wrong and he would have ruined the chemistry. Stop stat chasing, stats are very deceiving.

It wasn't just MJ that didn't want Isiah on the team. The coach didn't pick the players, the committee did.
Larry really respected Ervin . They had that stuff !
Bird didnt care. Magic was his brother.

I can’t argue with you🤷🏾♂️
I love it that Larry was drinking Sir Charles under the table

Bird and Barkley didn't want Isiah.
Larry does not need to prove any thing.
He is the best of all time. The goat 🐐🐐
No one can tell a story better than Magic.
He is a great story teller. I could listen to him talk all day.
USA. Best practice ever. It used to online. They srubbed it for some reason.

Jordan's playoff over under would be like 35 ppg 😂

You a goof!

Bobby Hurley was a real dog.
Just watched the video
They had to include one amateur player at that time.
Youngblood do more research on the feud between mike n zeke. It dates back to mike n college
Dude you trying to call Ewing ugly, who said you were cute lol
EE-Eeye!
You should check out the mixtapes of Tom Chambers and Shawn Kemp.

Show the Indiana State and Michigan state game from 1979.😂
The Metro college players that it was between Christian Laettner and Shaq and they chose Christian Laettner
They were cheated out the gold thts why they didn't accept it
You cut the video!
Thanks for the heads up! On to the next video.
I knew seeing it was only 58:57 that something like that would have to happen, and when it did I stopped watching immediately. You have to do these reactions start to finish. If you can’t do it at once, break it up into parts
Bad move. You cut out the whole part.
Horrible editing
Don’t cut the video, then portray it as the coach left IT out.
NONE of the players wanted IT on the team bc of his antics, attitude and past.
Done with this vid now
damn you skipped over a lot of stuff
They could have added hakeem
Hakeem wasn't an American citizen yet
You missed some good parts
Larry the old dog.
Mj you never beat in a play off. 😂😂😂.

Isaiah sold his soul b4.. good baller. But not America's balls 😂

Christian Laettner didn't earn a spot. For some reason they had to pick one college player. The choices were him or Shaq. Let that sink in...
Laettner did earn a spot. He won back to back NCAA championships and won in the clutch.
SHAQ & ISIAH SHOULD'VE BEEN ON THAT TEAM
Shaq was a rookie. More like Hakeem
Your attitude towards I.t. as deserving of anything more than what he got, nothing. Sorry you’re too twisted about him. You keep him.
Son, you just watch your era of basketball. You do not know Bobby Hurley? They failed to mention he left the NBA because he almost died in a car crash. He was Nash before Steve Nash.

Yal hate older players and it makes me hate ? You don't have true peace love and respect. I will not subscribe to you.
This kid needs to grow up
