The Dream Team didn't play against great international competition back then. The game was relatively new to many of the countries they faced. As much as it pains me to say this, but i gotta keep it real, their dominance was a tab bit over hyped. They were supposed to win those games. The redeem team with Kobe, LBJ, and Melo was better. That team played against far superior competition.

@arsenioseslpodcast3143 I never said this team was as good as the Dream Team. I said the DT dominance was overhyped. Also, most of the DT was between the ages of 29-30. Which is not that far off. When you consider modern-day medicine and fitness and how much more athletic today's players are, this old head team would probably be able to compete with the DT.
the game was NOT new at ALL to the countries they played you just made that up to build in an excuse for the coming silver medal this team will win they were just that much better in 1992 the nba today is simply NOT on that level
@@DynoGreen313 "relatively new "... we built a professional league, and invested more into our players, gave them advanced medicine and training. That gives us an edge.

1992 probably didn't have to "compete" to win. Top scorers were Barkley, MJ, Malone, and my man, and one of the underrated players of all time, in Chris Mullin. Get Magic and Bird to play to their greatness despite it being a tail end of their careers, would've been total annihilation.

Firstly, Team USA has to win gold convincingly against a vastly improved international competition. Only then can you gauge whether this team matches up with the original Dream Team.

the fact that every single olympic team just immediatly gets compared to the “Dream Team”, is all i need to know who the superior squad is. stop with the nonsense
@@salvell I just did. No Kobe, no Wade, that’s literally two of the top 5 shooting guards of all time and defensive guards of their time. They dominated with defense in 08. This team won’t play anywhere near the defense especially on the perimeter. Lebron nor KD are at their peak either but can still play high level ball. Not even close to the same teams
I don't know what there is to talk about...if the team messes around and loses it'll be a disaster. If they all are focused and playing hard, there's no way they are losing.
The Original Dream team had strong, talented players who can defend and rebound aside from their shooting, athleticism and vertical leap and speed. They are complete offensively and defensively. the current ones are soft, no toughness, bad defenders.
2012 Team would roll this team lol. 36 year old Steph vs. Prime CP3 Kobe would son Tatum Prime LeBron > Old LeBron Young KD > Old KD AD clears Tyson though
I’m actually worried. Despite all of the hype, Team USA is small and hurt. There are only two 7 footers on the roster and one of them never wants to be listed as 7 foot tall because he wants to remain a wing player. The other “big man” breaks down frequently like a super car running 87 octane gas. Three of the starters are often injured. Two of the aforementioned players are our tallest. I don’t know if Joel Embiid or Kevin Durant can get through the Olympics healthy. Kawhi Leonard has already left the team. We need size badly. I think that they should add Cooper Flagg to the roster immediately based on how his size, skill, and how he’s already playing against Team USA. Plus he’s young and healthy.

Olympic basketball will be competitive! I can't wait!
I mean this is a MEGA stacked team, but to be fair their all good. Idk how you'd label one better than the other. I mean look at this team lol. Curry, Bron, Davis, Durant, Haliburton, Booker, Ant, Bam, Tatum, Kawhi, Joel and Jrue! Lmao😂 anyone who says that's not a good team dont know basketball. Curry, Bron and Durant are the Jordans of my era. That lineup is so good, that its not even fair to the competition.
Curry will lead scoring

Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!

The Dream Team didn't play against great international competition back then. The game was relatively new to many of the countries they faced. As much as it pains me to say this, but i gotta keep it real, their dominance was a tab bit over hyped. They were supposed to win those games. The redeem team with Kobe, LBJ, and Melo was better. That team played against far superior competition.

@arsenioseslpodcast3143 I never said this team was as good as the Dream Team. I said the DT dominance was overhyped. Also, most of the DT was between the ages of 29-30. Which is not that far off. When you consider modern-day medicine and fitness and how much more athletic today's players are, this old head team would probably be able to compete with the DT.
the game was NOT new at ALL to the countries they played you just made that up to build in an excuse for the coming silver medal this team will win
they were just that much better in 1992
the nba today is simply NOT on that level
@@DynoGreen313 "relatively new "... we built a professional league, and invested more into our players, gave them advanced medicine and training. That gives us an edge. Their top tier players couldn't compete with ours back then. It was like Varsity vs. JV. Go back and look at the roster of the international players the Dream Team competed against.
If this team doesn't win the Olympics i don't know what to say
You can say that international basketball is better than usa basketball lol

Can we just talk about how insane that coaching staff is
'Dennis going GOD-MODE' has got to be the funniest comment about the contenders of the US
On paper, they look real good and then they’re all great players, and they win. Can they win? We’ll see.
No way. The Dream Team did all the little things to win. These guys want to be the super star and don’t know how to play a supporting role. The Dream Team was absolutely locked in.
Having Lebron and Steph on the floor at the same time means defensive liability.
as much as I love USA and NBA stars but please don't think Canada, Germany and many others are going to be easy
Lets go USA!!!🇺🇸🥇. I’m in Netherlands waiting
This version of dream team is good enough to win the gold despite what Canada and France believe.
This is NO version of the dream team, its not even a version of the redeem team.
No comparison. The 1992 team was the greatest collection of talent for an Olympian team. A team full of Hall of Famers. 😮
And this team isn’t full of hall of famers? I guarantee Almost every single one of them on team will be in the hof.

This team is shooting the dream team out of the gym… 3 points is more than 2
1992 probably didn't have to "compete" to win. Top scorers were Barkley, MJ, Malone, and my man, and one of the underrated players of all time, in Chris Mullin. Get Magic and Bird to play to their greatness despite it being a tail end of their careers, would've been total annihilation.

'92 dream team catapulted an basketball movement worldwide. The global game has gotten better thanks to '92 dream team. Luka,giannis.jokic are all products due to the dream team's emphasis of popularity quite simply. '92 dream team was rhe most popular by far better clearly is preference.
Firstly, Team USA has to win gold convincingly against a vastly improved international competition. Only then can you gauge whether this team matches up with the original Dream Team.
This team is more talented than the 2008 and 2012 team. If Lebron was in his prime, it would be a no brainer
Pg-Lebron
Sg-Steph
Sf-Kd
Pf-Ad
Center-Embid
About time
It would be cool if the Olympics had a Team USA vs World game. Can you imagine steph lebron kd embiid going up against luka SGA giannis and jokic!
I thought Embiid was from Cameroon.
Bern here since he high I believe & is a naturalized citizen. I believe he feels more American than anything at his age, he never denies his love for his birth country however. He said he just wanted to play with his brothers in the league.

@@Jimmyfly215 you can’t compare them. Some of the players are the same just the team that we have
@@salvell I just did. No Kobe, no Wade, that’s literally two of the top 5 shooting guards of all time and defensive guards of their time. They dominated with defense in 08. This team won’t play anywhere near the defense especially on the perimeter. Lebron nor KD are at their peak either but can still play high level ball. Not even close to the same teams
The fact that they didn’t even ask Jaylen Brown is low key disrespectful. He could’ve been there instead of Kawhi
Nah. He doesn’t need to be there .

Rich Paul is back at it again telling the ESPN people what to say
I don't know what there is to talk about...if the team messes around and loses it'll be a disaster. If they all are focused and playing hard, there's no way they are losing.
After seeing the finals and taking injury history into account, I would have taken Jalen Brown over Kawhi for the team. (Coming from a Warriors fan.)
Adebayo, Haliburton and Jrue Holiday are not Dream-Team worthy. Jaylen Brown and Kyrie got SNUBBED
The 2012 team was the greatest team of all time and it's not close.
Original dream team had much more talent.
2012 was just too stacked, that was the best after 1992
The Original Dream team had strong, talented players who can defend and rebound aside from their shooting, athleticism and vertical leap and speed. They are complete offensively and defensively. the current ones are soft, no toughness, bad defenders.

I wish you weren't that humble, but I understand
I’m actually worried. Despite all of the hype, Team USA is small and hurt.
There are only two 7 footers on the roster and one of them never wants to be listed as 7 foot tall because he wants to remain a wing player. The other “big man” breaks down frequently like a super car running 87 octane gas.
Three of the starters are often injured. Two of the aforementioned players are our tallest. I don’t know if Joel Embiid or Kevin Durant can get through the Olympics healthy. Kawhi Leonard has already left the team.
We need size badly. I think that they should add Cooper Flagg to the roster immediately based on how his size, skill, and how he’s already playing against Team USA. Plus he’s young and healthy.
Aye I just thought about it Embiid say I’m playin fa team USA Ima win me SOMETHING 😂😂
They need to worry about Canada
Canada needs to worry about them
Stephen Curry, KD, LBJ, AD, Embiid
Steph, LeBron, KD, Embiid, Jrue or Bam or Ant but preferably Jrue for his sight to set guys up.
They should finish with jrue in the lineup. Best defender on the team and he can still do everything
He can’t birth a child
The Americans might aswell get ready to collect those gold medals this is gonna be easy work.
As good as the Dream Team was you gotta remember they were playing against Jabronis. The competition is a lot harder now.
I’ll take the 2016 team over this team.
ky still deserves a spot
Ant talking bout he the # 1 option, and he probably won't even start.lol
(Gotta admire his confidence though)
92 was the best. Lets go Booker and KD!
Its the All Star lineup where they have to compete
