@MUFC No one asked. You forgot Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Palau, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Guyana, Ireland, China, Japan, South Korea, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa and Venezuela. Soccer is not going to popular everywhere you know. Cultural differences play a part too.
@MUFC Yeah but it's not #1. Those #2 and #3 could either be a distant second or a distant third. Example: Soccer is a distant second to baseball in the Dominican Republic.
@MUFC so whats your point I dont like soccer at all just because its popular. Go watch soccer vids or something instead of being a little nerd over here
Karl Malone scored the first point for the Dream Team and then 6 years later he was teaming up with Diamond Dallas Page to take on Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman. The 90s were wild
80's were way better but these early 90's days were still in that happy 80's atmosphere, around 94-95 things started going downhill, and look where we are now eesh.
@@Lo4aron yea cause it never went to trial cause he paid the family off bruh do your research before you say something ignorant she even had the kid to which he refused to pay child support
You may be kidding, but I actually saw that fire being lit in him during that point, but credit that number 15 from Angola, he was giving MJ all he could handle during those first 2 minutes or so
@@ericdaniel323 Actually he played the game like a man who was sick and tired of watching these other countries punk amateurs year after year in the Olympics. It was about letting them know they weren't playing against kids anymore.
Magic was running that fast break perfectly every time delivering his beautiful trick passes that were placed perfectly. Whenever he was on the court, the game came easy and flowed smoothly. So cool watching some of the greatest players of all time playing together. Seeing Magic dishing out passes to Larry and MJ was really special.
@@xastric6944 they had better D than the 1992 team. Bird and Magic were shot. Honestly, the 1996 team probably beats every team with Shaq, David, and Hakeem.
Imagine if Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Moses Malone and DR J was in this dream team and not retired? Angola would not even score double digit. There were questionable players like LEITNER and MULLINS who should not have been in this team.

Painted Byrd I keep waiting for the Olympics to cut in and say "looks like the US has this one in the bag, let's go live to synchronized ladies swimming". Used to drive me crazy, never got to watch any full games on TV.
21:36 angola gets rebound swarmed by 3, great behind the back pass out, 4v2 fast break for angola, slightly off pass to open man in front and...bird, who was off camera (and likely on another man), shuts it down completely by getting in front of the guy receiving the pass before the ball arrives, and the faster footspeed lets the rest of team USA recover before angola knew what just happened. Might be quarantine talk but I was legit so impressed by that one defensive play.
No when he checked in he was asking Karl Malone who was his man because he didn't know what player he was guarding and they were playing the same position 😂😂😂😂
Anyone saying Chris Mullin didn’t deserve to be on the Dream Team have just watched basketball recently. He’s one of the best small forwards in the league at that time. Here’s his stats in the 1991-92 season: 25.6 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 3.5 APG
Angola player: “we were tied 7-7 after 4 minutes against the dream team” Kid: “what happened next papa?” Angola player: “they went on a 46-1 run in the next 15 minutes” 😔
48:16 I've re-watched this over and over again. Magic didn't look at Drexler the whole time, but threw a perfect bounce pass to him. He didn't look at him once after he received the ball from him.

Bird is on laying on his stomach, because if he sits in a chair, he'll never get back up.. Larry Legend's playing his last profesional games just before spinal fusion surgery. Magic is on his basketball deathbed as well, with SEVERE tendonitis in his knee's. A decade of going at each other in the greatest Basketball rivalry any of us have ever seen, had taken it's toll on the best two players I've ever seen. The Olympics were Larry and Magic's gifts to us and each other. These guys played through career ending pain in Barcelona, better than most of today's players play in their primes. G.O.A.T.S. on that court in 92.
Mesmo com todas dificuldades que Angola vivia em 92 mais tínhamos grandes jogadores bons tempos estes jogadores de Angola são heróis e devem ser reconhecidos pelos seus feitos .
Takeaway from this game: -mj perimeter defense is the best ever -magic vision is unmatched and his aura brings the team energy and ball movement up -malone is crazy good and finding his spots and in pick and roll, no wonder he's 2nd in all time scoring -barkley is just a beast, 6'6 and outrebounding everyone
Watching it again for the first time in nearly 30 years, what's so underappreciated is how GREAT the USA team's defense was. Opposing teams couldn't get an open look at all.
USTeam should be great, after all US invented this game and again if a country of 320 million population plays against Angola, a country with a population less than New York City and with meagre resources and it ends up with just a win, the entire world sees the moral victory of Angola!
for those that don't know.. we really didn't get to enjoy watching the Dream Team play in those Olympics.. because soon as they went up by 15-20 pts.. NBC would go to Water Polo or the Men's Triathlon
It took me about 20 minutes to realise there was no commentary on this, just the raw sounds. I'm sure its for licensing or maybe just internationalisation reasons, but I prefer it. Love watching this, I hope they release more!
No. Just think, it could have been an even better team had they been smart enough to put Shaq on there instead of Laettner. Imagine 12 NBA hall of Famers, two of whom are likely the best ever at their position, one who many consider the best ever at any position.
Love the raw footage without the announcers. I've seen all of these games many times but this with headphones on catches a lot of player talk you wouldn't normally hear. Real cool.
The 1992 Dream Team is one of the most magical moments in the history of humankind. Also, I wish we could watch today’s NBA games without commentary. Just the sound of the audience and the floor.
At 43. I Remember how big of a deal it was watching the dream team. It's amazing to see how dominant they were compared to the rest of the world. It's also amazing to see how quickly the rest of the world has CAUGHT UP as far as talent, coaching and game strategy. Bravo to all.
Ya, watching the dream team looks like a college or even high school team these days. We definitely look at the past and romanticize these players, just watching them makes it obvious.
I read some stuff awhile back that said this dream team play in Europe sparked the next decade of international basketball and giving us all the international talent we have today.
Jack Crist that was the whole point of the Dream Team. To expand the game internationally. David Stern was one tough customer but he knew what the game of basketball needed when it needed it
Seriously, no disrespect to Angola, but I would’ve been honored if I even had the chance to lose to the Dream Team. I know it’s different when you are competing in the Olympics, but that’s just me.
Agreed! These folks who own the copyrights to these games, somehow assume that people don't want to watch a 28 year old game in its entirety...well, they are sadly mistaken. Hopefully this changes their mind and they start posting more classic games in its entirety.
Best team sport team ever put together in an actual competition. Cant think of any lead lineup for any other team containing so many players in contention for being the GOAT for EVERY single position.
The only team that truly represented the US and basketball all at the same time with class, respect and joy. It was a wonderful story how Chuck Daly kept pushing them and their personalities and egos at the door and reminding of the fact they could lose in some fashion.
I can still remember the NCAA finals 1979 I think maybe 78 one of those, Magic Johnson and Michigan St. played Larry Bird and Iowa St. with my dad, miss him so, that was a preview of what was to come,of course in Michigan Magic already had his nickname from High school fame, he sure went a long way, Bird too MSU won the game.
@@montazmeahii6029 Well, first off, isiah was a point guard and Drexler was a shooting guard. And the dream team already had 2 point guard in Magic and Stockton. While it only had Jordan in addition to drexler, so two shooting guards were needed. Though isiah could’ve easily been a 3rd point guard. Also, if I were to pick between the two statistically, I’d take drexler in 1992. Isiah was still putting up decent numbers by then, but not quite as good as his prime, especially his 1984-1985 season, which was phenomenal. Drexler on the other hand had one of his greatest seasons in 1991-1992 averaging 25 PPG and taking his team to the nba finals. If I had to pick between the two specifically for the 1992 dream team based upon their performance in the season before, the other positions filled, and the personal relationships with teammates, I’d for sure take drexler.
Angola looking good. nice dunks, lots of energy.. Then the game started..

Magic is on his basketball deathbed as well, with SEVERE tendonitis in his knee's. A decade of going at each other in the greatest Basketball rivalry any of us have ever seen, had taken it's toll on the best two players I've ever seen. The Olympics were Larry and Magic's gifts to us and each other.
These guys played through career ending pain in Barcelona, better than most of today's players play in their primes. G.O.A.T.S. on that court in 92.
Pretty sure I heard Magic had something more severe than tendonitis...?? I could be wrong...
Draft dodging coward
Magic also had HIV at this time and retired from basketball later this same year 1992
And they were finally together sharing court with MICHAEL JORDAN... Man... The team was unreal just with them three alone, if you add the rest...
GeniusEngineer with the right ARV medication you can still be very healthy with HIV
Mesmo com todas dificuldades que Angola vivia em 92 mais tínhamos grandes jogadores bons tempos estes jogadores de Angola são heróis e devem ser reconhecidos pelos seus feitos .
Takeaway from this game:
-mj perimeter defense is the best ever
-magic vision is unmatched and his aura brings the team energy and ball movement up
-malone is crazy good and finding his spots and in pick and roll, no wonder he's 2nd in all time scoring
-barkley is just a beast, 6'6 and outrebounding everyone
Malone + Stockton were dominant in the 90s. Just imagine how ridiculous they'd be playing in today's game which is pretty much all pick and roll.
They also swept the ‘98 Lakers
Barkley is actually like 6'4 1/2 which makes him even more amazing as a rebounder.
1:06:06 Oh baby, now thats what we came to see!
Thanks.
I came just to see that play
Thanks. I replay it a few times.
awesome
It’s 3 straight possessions there Magic is an absolute boss
Watching it again for the first time in nearly 30 years, what's so underappreciated is how GREAT the USA team's defense was. Opposing teams couldn't get an open look at all.
When they played lockdown defense in the NBA
USTeam should be great, after all US invented this game and again if a country of 320 million population plays against Angola, a country with a population less than New York City and with meagre resources and it ends up with just a win, the entire world sees the moral victory of Angola!
@@mosesm6040 excuses, excuses lolol
the way MJ played defense.. nice
That's because playing defense is foreign concept in today's NBA.
for those that don't know.. we really didn't get to enjoy watching the Dream Team play in those Olympics.. because soon as they went up by 15-20 pts.. NBC would go to Water Polo or the Men's Triathlon
Yep
Respect to Angola team 48 to 116 , yet they kept at it. They appreciated the moment and opportunity to be there and playing for their country.
When you're playing 2K with your little brother and he says "c'mon, stop going easy on me I can take it"
It took me about 20 minutes to realise there was no commentary on this, just the raw sounds. I'm sure its for licensing or maybe just internationalisation reasons, but I prefer it. Love watching this, I hope they release more!
This is the best group of ball players to ever make a team. Most of the people from around the world were just happy to be on the same court!
When you realize USA had enough, so they brought the entire HOF to the olympics.
08:52 look at the USA starting line-up... not simply a team, the ALL TIME LEGEND!!
And Christian Laettner!
i dont think we gonna ever see so many legends in a single team again
No. Just think, it could have been an even better team had they been smart enough to put Shaq on there instead of Laettner. Imagine 12 NBA hall of Famers, two of whom are likely the best ever at their position, one who many consider the best ever at any position.
I always loved how the opposing teams wanted nothing more than getting pictures with their idols
magic was putting on a masterclass with the passing all game
Fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the raw footage without the announcers. I've seen all of these games many times but this with headphones on catches a lot of player talk you wouldn't normally hear. Real cool.
The 1992 Dream Team is one of the most magical moments in the history of humankind.
Also, I wish we could watch today’s NBA games without commentary. Just the sound of the audience and the floor.
At 43. I Remember how big of a deal it was watching the dream team.
It's amazing to see how dominant they were compared to the rest of the world. It's also amazing to see how quickly the rest of the world has CAUGHT UP as far as talent, coaching and game strategy.
Bravo to all.
Ok Boomer
Ya, watching the dream team looks like a college or even high school team these days. We definitely look at the past and romanticize these players, just watching them makes it obvious.
I like how the Angola coach keeps yelling at his team like, " We can still win. We are only down 40 points!!!"
We call it in the phils. Never say die
A lot of energy from this Angola team. It must have been something else playing against these legends.
I read some stuff awhile back that said this dream team play in Europe sparked the next decade of international basketball and giving us all the international talent we have today.
Jack Crist that was the whole point of the Dream Team. To expand the game internationally. David Stern was one tough customer but he knew what the game of basketball needed when it needed it
Seriously, no disrespect to Angola, but I would’ve been honored if I even had the chance to lose to the Dream Team. I know it’s different when you are competing in the Olympics, but that’s just me.
@@phoenixrising7777 I woulda been honoured just sitting on the bench all game against the dream team
Can't believe after 28 years we have a full game footage to watch! It was a game back to my junior high school age.
I know right. Glad I'm able to see these legends playing.
Agreed!
These folks who own the copyrights to these games, somehow assume that people don't want to watch a 28 year old game in its entirety...well, they are sadly mistaken.
Hopefully this changes their mind and they start posting more classic games in its entirety.
Best team sport team ever put together in an actual competition. Cant think of any lead lineup for any other team containing so many players in contention for being the GOAT for EVERY single position.
Tbh they had like two dream teams in the line up lol.
The only team that truly represented the US and basketball all at the same time with class, respect and joy. It was a wonderful story how Chuck Daly kept pushing them and their personalities and egos at the door and reminding of the fact they could lose in some fashion.
23:26 my two favourite players working together
56:15 "HES HOLDING MEEEEE" Patrick ewing.
It's amazing how close this game was in the first 120 seconds!
15:58 the most legendary shot
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh😭
Ewing's like, "This dude's on the Olympic team?"
BRO 18:11 KARL MALONE THRW THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS HOW TF DO THEY HAVE THE BALL STILL?
@@lukebear3710 , I think of a few of those starters wouldn’t of even started for a D-1 school.
The fast break sequence at 54:43 was a thing of beauty, it's just too bad that it didn't end with a bucket.
Seriously, insane. It's like watching the best soccer teams ping the ball around at break neck speed. The reaction time and vision is superhuman.
Very nice. But i prefer 1:06:52. Probaby the 3 best players ever in that fast break
@@RM-xk6iu I don’t see lebron in that fast break
@@Smashlord009 Sorry, there is no place for unnecessary drama and criptic twitter messages on my team.
@@RM-xk6iu so u sayin Larry and magic better than bron
29:55 look at how Jordan reads the movement of the players. He knew that number 15 would go out to receive the ball
Boo Adao my mother could have read that LeBron dropping 90 on this team
Yes impressive...just like any other superstar when playing against amateurs
Stevie wonder could've read this
Textbook
@@simonlink4944 this happened when lebron is 8 and is still practicing how to flop
That Magic to Bird connection at 23:28 is amazing
19:46 that pass from larry bird
LEGEND
WIZARD
5 minutes into the game and Ewing is sweating like they're in the last minute of double overtime 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine how much laundry he produces all by himself.
Why he wore those tees. Lol
ill never forget this team... i was like 17 at the time of this team.. they crushed everything
Being in the Olympics and played the best player in the world is the greatest thing you remember for lifetime .
23:28 that was beautiful
Went to watch that moment and right at the pass a commercial popped up lmao!
Magic and Bird making poetry on the court
I get goosebumps seeing this play, off the behind the back from Magic you just know when Bird lets it go it's money. Just awesome.
Magic to LB
Absolutely
So, who's watching this because they're bored AF during the lockdown?
true AF
@markmac not that bad at the start, understanding what they're saying makes it even more hilarious
ME!!! Just because bored
Yo momma
See it live rewatching almost 30yrs later lol.
Barkley out there for 10 seconds and starts running his mouth...gotta love that guy 🤣
I can still remember the NCAA finals 1979 I think maybe 78 one of those, Magic Johnson and Michigan St. played Larry Bird and Iowa St. with my dad, miss him so, that was a preview of what was to come,of course in Michigan Magic already had his nickname from High school fame, he sure went a long way, Bird too MSU won the game.
There has never been a greater team assembled than this one and there will never be a greater team assembled than this one. Period!
True but everybody who knows anything about basketball already knew that
The only thing that couldn’t of made it better is if they had Gary Payton
That is oldschool ball right there 59:46. Malone grabs the rebound, bird is off down the floor. Assist magic. Beautiful.
1:27:55 Drexler breaks referee's ankle.
I like to imagine if it were Isiah on the roster instead.
@@heeman82 when ppl watch the last dance and think they know something lol
@@montazmeahii6029
Well, first off, isiah was a point guard and Drexler was a shooting guard. And the dream team already had 2 point guard in Magic and Stockton. While it only had Jordan in addition to drexler, so two shooting guards were needed. Though isiah could’ve easily been a 3rd point guard. Also, if I were to pick between the two statistically, I’d take drexler in 1992. Isiah was still putting up decent numbers by then, but not quite as good as his prime, especially his 1984-1985 season, which was phenomenal. Drexler on the other hand had one of his greatest seasons in 1991-1992 averaging 25 PPG and taking his team to the nba finals. If I had to pick between the two specifically for the 1992 dream team based upon their performance in the season before, the other positions filled, and the personal relationships with teammates, I’d for sure take drexler.
@@roundtable3501 well said. I’m sure I’m biased being a Detroiter.
Who’s here in 2024?
Magic was something else! Best PG of all time.
Most DEFINITELY!!
Biggest curry fan but yes,., curry can never reach magics greatness ngl
@@Rakith1010 I love curry but he turns the ball over a lot a lot..with that over the head pass it’s so lame
@@Skabanis curry and magic has a close turnover per game stat. Plus curry is more skilled but magic is just greater u can't compare those 2
@@Rakith1010 Say this again....lol tripping out yo mind
59:40 Those men had to defend a transition 3-on-2 against Magic, Larry, and MJ. Yikes.
@tigerarmyrule idk, man made the bucket on that play 0.0
@tigerarmyrule Bird from 84-88 was arguably the best player in the world
Thank you for uploading this. To see some of the best players to ever play in their primes, very nostalgic and awe inspired.
1:06:11 - That Johnson's pass to Jordan. So 🔥🔥🔥
That mother taking her infant baby to the game lmfao
