These Trash Takes are INSANE.
Magic literally finished as MVP runner-up & led Lakers to Finals in '91. He also stole the show at thr '92 All-Star game and won MVP. Magic was still Magic. He was just retired due to HIV. LeBron, KD, & Steph are literally no longer in their primes at 35, 36, & 39 years old. KD isn't even healthy enough to play yet. At least Bird played despite being limited due to his back 😅.
Of course the media is downgrading the dream team to upgrade this year's team. If the dream team and this year's team played, the dream team smashes them by 25-30 points.
Depends on what rules they went by. If they were calling travels, palming the ball, and offensive fouls like they did in the 90`s, the 1992 team would EASILY win by 50+. Please show me ANY game in the last 10 years in the NBA where players DON`t travel, palming the ball, or commit MULTILPE uncalled offensive fouls.

I'm not sorry for saying this, but I hope the USA doesn't win the Gold 🥇! So much disrespect on the "Dream Team," who out scored their opponents by at least 40 points!
This year's team doesn't come close to '92. The media has to mismatch in order to make them relevant. Why didn't they compare Lebron to MJ? Because there's no comparison. MJ was playing with other stars and stated that he just 'wanted to be one of the boys'. But, when it was needed, he went ballistic (ask Kukoc). The sad thing is, you can go watch the '92 games if you didn't see them live like I did. If you do go watch them, start with the Tournament of the Americas. The US had to qualify to make the Olympics. First game, in the first 4 minutes or so, Magic makes an errant pass. MJ chases it down from the middle of the floor, jumps out of bounds with a behind the back pass to Bird who drains the shot. For me, it's not just about the skill level that the '92 team had that makes them better. They took great pride in playing for their country and winning gold. You can see the pride and the fire in how they played. BTW, MJ, Chris Mullen, and Patrick Ewing had already won gold in '84.
Remember when these idiots were saying the pistons and Lakers were old when MJ beat them, and didn't realize those teams were actually younger than the 07 spurs, let alone the 2013 spurs
Imagine that the only way USA basketball (and the NBA) found to get relevance in the media is to trash the past team(s), that's sad and I bet you won't find another sport where you can see that, it just shows how ESPN and so on think of today's average basketball fan. I would understand if they were comparing team USA 2024 to it's 2020 or 2016 even 2012 rosters but they had to go to what people hold to be the highest standard (just like they can't help but talk about MJ) aka 92 roster.
Lebro is and always has been absolute shit. Shoots less than 35 percent from outside of three feet. Shoots below three point average according to stats.
There are some good players this year but that 92 dream team, if you could slide kobe and wilt in there it'd basically be the possible goat list. Noticed he wanted to compare lebron to magic and not mj, couldn't imagine why.
The difference between today's and 92 is defense. Magic Johnson said the same thing about 2008s redeem team " Take away their offense what can they do to beat the dream team".
This team isn't even close to the 1996, 2008, or even the 2012 teams. There's no way this team is even coming close to the '92 Dream Team. Magic led the Lakers to the Finals in '91, literally a summer before the '92 Olympics. LeBron had prime Anthony Davis as his teammate and made the playoffs as a 7th seed. Besides, LeBron is 39 years old. Steph is 36. Durant hasn't even played a game yet as he's rehabilitating, and Kawhi was subbed out for a role player. Most of the mainstream media covering basketball are absolutely terrible.
Slap stick never wright Nick saying magic past his prime? Magic was in the finals the year before. Slap stick nick doesn’t have to be worried about being past his prime, he’s a “ never was” and should have his journalism license revoked!
I don't care how messed up Bird was... He was still dominating fools late in his career. There is a huge difference in being a superior athlete versus being a superior basketball player. 1992 team will always be my favorite.
Select team with Flagg, Podz, Jaquez should not be in a 1-shot game with Team USA. '92 selects "won" with MJ out, had C-Webb, Penny, Grant Hill, Allan Houston, Mashburn, Hurley. Dream Team WAY better than '24.
The game against the college select team in 92 was rigged. Watch what coach K says about it on the dream team documentary. The next day they killed them.
This is disgusting. Also I am so sick of hearing this era is so much better if that were true why is it the least watched era??? IDK IMO if a product is better than ever it would mean more people are watching/buying said product.
Fuck it let this team all be the best they ever were and the dream team still wipes them by 15. The 92 dream team played some beautiful basketball together, this team I see a lot of bs 1v1 offense.
What's very telling is: "Only a few of the dream team guys could handle the ball". That's because they played team ball and knew their roles. Every star in the NBA today is an ISO player. When they don't have the ball in their hands, they are valuable as a spot up shooter. Minus Steph Curry because he plays off the ball a lot. ISO ball is fun to watch. But it stagnates the rest of the offense. All the other players can do is get out of the way and spot up unless you play a motion offense. Outside of Golden State and Sacramento nobody plays motion offense. All of these great individuals are stronger than anyone they face in one on one situations. They are the best tough shot makers not only today, but some of them are all time greats. The whole point of basketball is that it's a team sport and the goal isn't to make the toughest shot you can, it's to move the ball around and find the easiest shot you can get. The NBA wants to have guys ISO and take tough shots all day long. It inflates stats and looks good on sportscenter. But the team that gets the easiest shots is going to win the gold. The rest of the world has some great basketball players and great teams. I think that there is a very real chance that USA doesn't bring home the gold, and it's going to be funny to watch all of this coordinated smear campaigning by the media blow up in their faces if it happens.
I mean, WHY is Cowherd bringing "Portland Scottie" into this??? In '92 EARLY Prime Pippen....and I'll say this much : Tatum might be more offensively skilled....but '92 Pippen would HOUND him ALL over the court....he'd make him NOT want the ball.....Tatum also couldn't stop Pippen from bringing the ball up and initiating the offense.
@@twiliteznTatum 7-26 shooting performance and 14 double hesi bricks, I can't believe how easy these media members sell out, they already make great money to be on tv talking about sports, they shouldn't need more to lie.
Yeah, that was the stupidest thing he said in those video clips (and he said a lot of stupid things). I'm surprised he didn't also add "and I saw Seattle Patrick Ewing and he was horrible!!"
It is amazing how "experts" should not be allowed to speak publicly. The "Dream Team" was the dream team because the world got to watch Larry and Magic play together as they ended their basketball careers. Jordan was in the middle of his first threepeat and dominating the league. More importantly, this was the first time pros were playing in the Olympics!!! The 1992 included guys who would got 100% every minute. That does not describe ANYONE in the current NBA. Now, everyone is worried about protecting themselves so they can play "forever". Back in 1992, players were trying to win championships. Now, players want money.
If I were going to make a case for ANYTHING in these Olympics it would be that the talent outside the US is much stronger, but that’s about it. The game has only increased in popularity since that first team. Go watch the DOC on the ‘92 Dream Team and they were treated like the Beatles landing at JFK.
Right now Team USA’s teenage men’s team is annihilating their competition. Some of these claims about the world catching up to us are over exaggerated.
Either this "Avengers" team wins every game by 30 and the Media crowns this team as the greatest or they steal a few victories and/or lose a game and Steve Kerr gets blamed.
They only have one first team all nba player on this team, dream team had all five. This whole argument is an absolute joke. This team doesn’t even have the best player in the world
It's the same way they claim mj never played a team like the warriors and ignore MJ played the only team In history with 5 top 75 players in the 86 Celtics, and he dropped 42 7 7 3 and 1.5 if I remember right, plus the NBA playoffs record 63 points in a single game. It's just ignorance at this point.
Great analysis regarding these two USA Basketball Teams. The footnotes you provided, from the various movies, really hit home the point. My favorite is the Good Fellas clip because it is truly pure laughter to try and make a case that the 2024 Team is better than the 1992 Team. I would like to have seen Barkley on Lebron; and I am curious as to what the opinions are of others regarding match up possibilities between the 1992 and the 2024 Team. Thank you for bringing the truth to the matter and correcting main stream media.

@@messi10airjordan23 and it’s been like that for the passed 2 games during that time. And they still can’t figure it out? The so called great team ever assembled. Okay
Honestly, I don't even know if I can argue that AD is better than '92 Ewing. It's a debate, but Ewing also averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks per game. He finished top five in MVP voting and also made the All-NBA Second Team, but Second Team defense. However, his competition at center was far stiffer than AD's, especially on the defensive side. The Knicks also finished as the fourth seed with 51 wins, while my Lakers won fewer games. Ewing didn't have anyone close to as good as LeBron as a teammate, despite his flaws at 39. Just comparing impact, Ewing was a far more dominant player. AD is more skilled and versatile, but Ewing was simply the better player. Stats can be skewed due to rule differences, officiating, and style of play.
Magic Johnson is officially now one of the most disrespected basketball legends.

I'm not sorry for saying this, but I hope the USA doesn't win the Gold 🥇! So much disrespect on the "Dream Team," who out scored their opponents by at least 40 points!
After Australia and SS, it is a good chance that they don't win gold. I won't be surprised.
Today’s “Sports Media” is a constant comparative basketball joke.
The only one who was really out of his prime on the dream team was Larry Bird. Magic only retired from the nba because of HIV.
This year's team doesn't come close to '92. The media has to mismatch in order to make them relevant. Why didn't they compare Lebron to MJ? Because there's no comparison. MJ was playing with other stars and stated that he just 'wanted to be one of the boys'. But, when it was needed, he went ballistic (ask Kukoc). The sad thing is, you can go watch the '92 games if you didn't see them live like I did. If you do go watch them, start with the Tournament of the Americas. The US had to qualify to make the Olympics. First game, in the first 4 minutes or so, Magic makes an errant pass. MJ chases it down from the middle of the floor, jumps out of bounds with a behind the back pass to Bird who drains the shot. For me, it's not just about the skill level that the '92 team had that makes them better. They took great pride in playing for their country and winning gold. You can see the pride and the fire in how they played. BTW, MJ, Chris Mullen, and Patrick Ewing had already won gold in '84.
First time champion Jayson Tatum is lunch food to Scottie Pippen respectfully
you're definitely not wrong but why did cowherd bring Tatum into this JT is disrespected enough as is
Facts. Pippen was the total all around player at that time. Try his defense out if you want too.

Imagine that the only way USA basketball (and the NBA) found to get relevance in the media is to trash the past team(s), that's sad and I bet you won't find another sport where you can see that, it just shows how ESPN and so on think of today's average basketball fan.
I would understand if they were comparing team USA 2024 to it's 2020 or 2016 even 2012 rosters but they had to go to what people hold to be the highest standard (just like they can't help but talk about MJ) aka 92 roster.
The Laetnner comment is bizarre considering, iirc, they had to have one college player on the team in 92.

If it wasn’t for the legends the current players wouldn’t have all of these luxuries that they have now.
Lebro is and always has been absolute shit. Shoots less than 35 percent from outside of three feet. Shoots below three point average according to stats.
Embiid trying to outsmart Jokic is peak comedy
There are some good players this year but that 92 dream team, if you could slide kobe and wilt in there it'd basically be the possible goat list.
Noticed he wanted to compare lebron to magic and not mj, couldn't imagine why.
Uncut hoops why are they tearing down the past?why are they tearing down the NBA?
Why are they??
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
Just another one of the Klutch Narratives. The narrative that everything LeBron does is better than everything Jordan did.
The difference between today's and 92 is defense. Magic Johnson said the same thing about 2008s redeem team " Take away their offense what can they do to beat the dream team".
Mann what lets see how long today's nba would play under 90s rules borderline hockey fights on a nba court
No one listens to Colin Cowerd like he's a basketball expert. 😂😂
They have to do this, boosting current NBA solidifies their job.
Ironic that acting like the dopes we know them to be provides them job security. What a world.
This team isn't even close to the 1996, 2008, or even the 2012 teams. There's no way this team is even coming close to the '92 Dream Team.
Magic led the Lakers to the Finals in '91, literally a summer before the '92 Olympics. LeBron had prime Anthony Davis as his teammate and made the playoffs as a 7th seed. Besides, LeBron is 39 years old. Steph is 36. Durant hasn't even played a game yet as he's rehabilitating, and Kawhi was subbed out for a role player. Most of the mainstream media covering basketball are absolutely terrible.
They don’t have Michael Jordan though and that’s the difference
Exactly lol. MJ in 92 was insane nobody on this team would be able to guard him
EXACTLY!! If you pissed Jordan off by saying they couldn’t win the game would be over right then.
Excellent work as always Uncut 👏🏾

That 92 dream team would smoke this present USA team. Malone, Pat Ewing and Charles Barkley would make Lebron cry.
Lebron would call out sick.
LeBron, Curry, and Durant would get theirs but the Team probably wouldn't win.
I don’t know why they derive joy in tearing down the legends of the game to uplift lebron and co
Rememer when the original Dream Team almost lost to a country that doesn't have indoor plumbing?
Magic Johnson is the Greatest point guard of all-time. It's not even close. He makes everyone better.
Select team with Flagg, Podz, Jaquez should not be in a 1-shot game with Team USA. '92 selects "won" with MJ out, had C-Webb, Penny, Grant Hill, Allan Houston, Mashburn, Hurley. Dream Team WAY better than '24.
The game against the college select team in 92 was rigged. Watch what coach K says about it on the dream team documentary. The next day they killed them.
92 would crush these guys. They were built different.
Notice that these"analysts" are Lebron simps ... they''ll do anything to elevate Lebron and diminish Jordan
This is disgusting. Also I am so sick of hearing this era is so much better if that were true why is it the least watched era??? IDK IMO if a product is better than ever it would mean more people are watching/buying said product.
Ain’t no way they saying the 2024 team is beating the 1992 dream team😭
Fuck it let this team all be the best they ever were and the dream team still wipes them by 15. The 92 dream team played some beautiful basketball together, this team I see a lot of bs 1v1 offense.
Watched all of the '92 games live as they happened. Stuff like that happens once in a lifetime.
SO LEGARBAGE AT 40 ISN'T PASSES PRIME HILARIOUS😂😂😂😂
Paid for by Klutch Sports. Drexler was the last guy on the Dream Team because Isaiah wasn't chosen because no one on the Dream Team wanted him.
They have to talk negative about the older players to overhype the current NBA.
I wonder what they're gonna say if they lose.
What's very telling is: "Only a few of the dream team guys could handle the ball". That's because they played team ball and knew their roles. Every star in the NBA today is an ISO player. When they don't have the ball in their hands, they are valuable as a spot up shooter. Minus Steph Curry because he plays off the ball a lot. ISO ball is fun to watch. But it stagnates the rest of the offense. All the other players can do is get out of the way and spot up unless you play a motion offense. Outside of Golden State and Sacramento nobody plays motion offense. All of these great individuals are stronger than anyone they face in one on one situations. They are the best tough shot makers not only today, but some of them are all time greats. The whole point of basketball is that it's a team sport and the goal isn't to make the toughest shot you can, it's to move the ball around and find the easiest shot you can get. The NBA wants to have guys ISO and take tough shots all day long. It inflates stats and looks good on sportscenter. But the team that gets the easiest shots is going to win the gold. The rest of the world has some great basketball players and great teams. I think that there is a very real chance that USA doesn't bring home the gold, and it's going to be funny to watch all of this coordinated smear campaigning by the media blow up in their faces if it happens.

Yep and then Anthony Edwards would be the medias number 1 enemy 😂
It is amazing how "experts" should not be allowed to speak publicly. The "Dream Team" was the dream team because the world got to watch Larry and Magic play together as they ended their basketball careers. Jordan was in the middle of his first threepeat and dominating the league. More importantly, this was the first time pros were playing in the Olympics!!! The 1992 included guys who would got 100% every minute. That does not describe ANYONE in the current NBA. Now, everyone is worried about protecting themselves so they can play "forever". Back in 1992, players were trying to win championships. Now, players want money.
If I were going to make a case for ANYTHING in these Olympics it would be that the talent outside the US is much stronger, but that’s about it. The game has only increased in popularity since that first team. Go watch the DOC on the ‘92 Dream Team and they were treated like the Beatles landing at JFK.
Right now Team USA’s teenage men’s team is annihilating their competition. Some of these claims about the world catching up to us are over exaggerated.
Either this "Avengers" team wins every game by 30 and the Media crowns this team as the greatest or they steal a few victories and/or lose a game and Steve Kerr gets blamed.
The blatant Magic Johnson disrespect can stop. He has a very nice resume for the GOAT conversation.
The Dream Team will be remembered forever, The 2024 team will be forgotten in two or three years.
[except Laettner] gimme ANY 2 from the dream team + Jordan and they would BEAT ANY 3 FROM team usa!
Eight players from the 92 Dream Team belongs to 75 best players off all time. The 2024 USA Basketball Team has three.
There are 10 players from the 92 dream teams in the NBA top 75 players of all time list.
They only have one first team all nba player on this team, dream team had all five. This whole argument is an absolute joke. This team doesn’t even have the best player in the world
9 out of ten all nba first or second team players on the same team. These people are an absolute joke
It's the same way they claim mj never played a team like the warriors and ignore MJ played the only team In history with 5 top 75 players in the 86 Celtics, and he dropped 42 7 7 3 and 1.5 if I remember right, plus the NBA playoffs record 63 points in a single game. It's just ignorance at this point.
Great analysis regarding these two USA Basketball Teams. The footnotes you provided, from the various movies, really hit home the point. My favorite is the Good Fellas clip because it is truly pure laughter to try and make a case that the 2024 Team is better than the 1992 Team. I would like to have seen Barkley on Lebron; and I am curious as to what the opinions are of others regarding match up possibilities between the 1992 and the 2024 Team. Thank you for bringing the truth to the matter and correcting main stream media.
When they almost lost to South Sudan 😂
I was wondering who would bring that up😂 OMG the 2024 looked like trash in that game and Joel Embiid forgot what defense was (amongst others). It’s just a joke, there’s a channel called “Awful Coaching” who breaks it down and shows how terrible they were. It was scary how bad they were, and they almost lost to Germany. They’re nowhere near as dominant, and rely on LeBron to bail them out. I could go on, but anyone with eyes can tell the difference.
@@messi10airjordan23 and it’s been like that for the passed 2 games during that time. And they still can’t figure it out? The so called great team ever assembled. Okay
You lost me when you said Tatum was arguably the best player on the team….
AD may be better than Ewing in 92 but not admiral. Tatum might be better than pippen but not Clyde or mj.
Honestly, I don't even know if I can argue that AD is better than '92 Ewing. It's a debate, but Ewing also averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks per game. He finished top five in MVP voting and also made the All-NBA Second Team, but Second Team defense. However, his competition at center was far stiffer than AD's, especially on the defensive side. The Knicks also finished as the fourth seed with 51 wins, while my Lakers won fewer games.
Ewing didn't have anyone close to as good as LeBron as a teammate, despite his flaws at 39. Just comparing impact, Ewing was a far more dominant player. AD is more skilled and versatile, but Ewing was simply the better player. Stats can be skewed due to rule differences, officiating, and style of play.
These liars are Compromised. They want access to the players.
