That you ban Yugoslavia to play..i just watched documentary with Divac and others and they were told just few days before Olympic that are ban to play and that they all cry...they train all summer for that and it was best team outside USA
I’d love to see any USA Basketball games from 1984 or the 1996 basketball gold medal game
Vince Carter Dunk!
25:14 the best of my life. 🤗

"Legends may sleep but they never die!"
We remember you always..
Drazen Petrovic ❤️
Nah, he died
I knew about drazen from a video in RUclips with a caption. Michael Jordan warned this kid bud he never listen.. Something like that
@@bamboofox1064 yeah i saw that the guy did him wrong with that thumbnail...rest in peace Mozart of basketball ❤
I think 🤔 Petrovic would’ve been best foreign player ever!
@@ericmcpherson7058 Nope, not really. He was on his way to become a franchise players with the Nets, but to lead the Nets to a title? Become MVP of the league? Don`t believe that.
Dirk, Hakeem, Sabonis. Thats my top 3. Drazen would have been most defineteley in the top 5..
no commentors. no bgm. only pure basketball and audiences chanting. raw and real deal!
Ain't it brilliant !!
Only one thing, the scoreboard
@@Miraie93 that's one thing I can't stand with watching older broadcasts. Like the scoreboard is one of the most important elements to the game lol why show it every 5 minutes?
So awesome
I love it👍🏽
Having no announcers made this 10x better. The ambience is incredible! Turned the volume up, felt like I was in that arena. Loved the seeing the camera panning of the fans and seeing the numerous nationalities witnessing greatness. The Dream Team is the reason international basketball is giving Tesm USA problems today, because of their influence around the world in 1992 to present.
I agree. It feels like playing NBA Live 1996
I was thinking where are the commentators several minutes in, I do enjoy just focusing on the game with the crowd without distractions
There should be an option to either watch game with or without commentators. I do enjoy listening to their basketball knowledge and stories, but it would be nice to just focus on the game as if I was in the arena
I've always wanted to watch sports without an announcer constantly blabbering and ruining the experience.
Because a lot of teams the US plays are stocked with NBA players.
Scottie Pippen was incredible at both ends of the floor ....both at guard and small forward, and defending against anyone.
Pippen had point guard skills in a two guard body, with a center's wingspan and played small forward. Never before or since has a small forward had an equal or greater combination of length, foot quickness, reflexes and hand/eye coordination. This guy was easily the greatest defensive small forward ever and in general had a well balanced game.
Everyone was great but Pippen and Barkley were unguardable during the olympics. the international teams couldn't figure them out.
@@MrAitrainingI knew he was great , this game is showing that Pippen is EASILY one the greatest all around players to ever live. His passing ability is remarkable.
Pippen was great underated player !! 😊
@@gilmarcoscorrea5145no, the mj fans undervalue Pip thinking MJ beat everyone by himself...

Croatia did themselves proud, and at a very difficult time for their country. You have to love Petrovic and his all-out attitude and ability.
The greats had massive respect for him.
Man, Drexler kind of gets overlooked in the pantheon of the greats (mostly because Blazers) but he was a freaking nightmare for anyone. What an amazing team, didn't matter who was rotated in.
Thanks for mentioning this. I thought the exact same thing when he broke away in a couple dunks.
Drexler was a monster. He definitely gets overlooked.
He is definitely a joy to watch play the game.

Croatia was the only one to actually put up a fight against Team USA in 1992. They even led 25-23 at one point in the game. Props to them for their efforts. That Croatian team was packed with future talent, especially the ones in Kukoc and Drazen.

There will be no other Dream Team ever like this.. I saw this live. This was my High School graduation gift.
You're probably right. The NBA has never been more international than right now with superstars like Luka and Giannis not qualifying for a US team. Pair that with the fact that US stars don't prioritize the Olympics like they use too. The US may never be this dominant of a center for talent again
@@steelwall4396 and because there is not such a good american players right now
What a great gift!! congrats!!
R.I.P. Drazen. That guy was a monster. Not everyone gets MJ in his face all night and still scores 19, especially having to step in for a nullified Kukoc.
As good as they all are, I can't stop watching Scottie Pippen. That man had it all.

A really great thing here is the scoreboard. I mean they show it only every few minutes or so. Isn’t this great? I mean only this way you can focus on the game and each and every element of the game itself! Cause only time when the score will matter is at the end of the game to decide the winner. No commentators just pure basketball! Love it.
It is always a delight to rewatch the Dream Team in action
R.I.P. Drazen Petrovic.
Jordan’s defense is unbelievable and unbeatable.
did he dead
@dwade defense ia all about instinct and willing to play defense!Thats why he's no. 3 all time in steals, Dpoy88,only player with 200+ steals& 100 blocks in back to back seasons!Until now I've never seen a player like MJ,Pippen and Rodman so dedicated in playing defense..And take note he was also the MVP,scoring champ, steals champ, slamdunk champ and allstar MVP the year he won DPOY..
@dwade he can afford the gamble with points lead and help behind. it is sound defense because he was in lock down position w scottie all game even up 30 points. these days players don't even know what this position is..
@j Smith what an idiot
j Smith who are you troydan??? U must be the guy who salty after LeGM trade your idol 😂😂😂. Good choice by LeGM tho, Lonzo is nothing.
Best team ever assembled in the history of basketball 🏀.
They could barely move lmaoooo you ole heads are delusional..
No 1996 USA Team.
1996 had no Jordan. Case closed. 1992 the real Dream Team
The best team ever assembled on any floor of any game...ever!! The GOAT basketball team!
Baby goat!
That number 11 on Croatia was legit, sending everyones shots back!
Stojko Vrankovic
If you were born in the 2000s and a fan of NBA, welcome to the collection of the best that ever lived that played the best and real Basketball of all time
He played in the NBA briefly after this.
Stojko Vrankovic #11 had great hands on defense
Yes, but he seems to be consistently out rebounded by shorter players.
Pippen's playmaking skill, game vision, defense, offense tell a lot why Jordan appreciate him so much. He's the final piece of puzzle that completed Jordan's greatness. I still remember watching this game on TV and Bulls playoff games.. i'm Indonesian so NBA back then only aired during playoffs, watch using satelite dish or highlights on NBA inside stuff, regular season is so dang hard to follow at that time lol
Congratulations to America, individual brilliance its always worked for them. It's funny playing against somebody you idolise
Pippen needed Jordan too
When magic went out and Scottie came in as point, underrated performance with handles and passes
No Basketball team past, present, and future can beat the 1992 dream team in their prime. The G.O.A.T (the Greatest Of All Team)
I guess a team that would have a chance is
Kawhi
KD
Lebron
Steph

They are just mute you’re tv 😅
TRULY AMAZING... WE HAD ALL OF THE GREATEST PLAYER'S OF ALL TIME.. ON THE SAME TEAM.. WOW WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE AND BE AROUND TO SEE IT.. I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AT THE TIME.. LOVING THE GAME MYSELF AND JUST WATCHING IT ON TELEVISION WAS GREAT TO SEE. WISH I COULD'VE BEEN THERE IN PERSON.. THE CROWD WAS VERY LUCKY. I WOULD REMEMBER THIS DAY IF I WAS THERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Croatia knows how to ball. I'm American, and I remember this topically, but I don't recall how good Croatia really was, considering they are playing the best. Incredible team work. It's like watching a team of great college players.
This is very true. Considering who they played against, and the level of intensity of the USA, they went down 13 in the last 10 mins playing a marelous basket. If Tony Kukoc had scored a few more it would have been a tight game. Hat off Croatia.
The US should have played against Yugoslavia in 1992 but it broke apart. Croatian players only represented a small part of the former Yugoslavia team. You played against Serbia and Montenegro (which was called Yugoslavia, but in reality that was just Serbia and Montenegro) in 1996 and it was still a close game on halftime. You would had had a legitimate chance of losing the 1992 finals had the Yugoslavia broken apart just one year later than it did.
Love how you can hear all the talking from the players and coaches. You can hear coach K “Just solid. Stay home. No steals.” etc. Plus Jordan at the PG calling the plays. Love it.
Is it me or were the rims a bit different back in the day? Seem a bit stiffer. The NBA had some changes to the rims the last couple of decades.
01:22:54 “Get back in there. WORK IT! WORK IT!”

@@designer1310 fr tho
To put it into perspective this game here was the closest margin of victory for the Dream Team and they won by 32.
They beat some teams by 60+ and scored over 100 points a game. It was a massacre
31:51 Larry out there movin! Bad back and all, dude is still a triple double threat with genius bball IQ and RANGE
41:12 kids, I introduce you to *SCOTTIE PIPPEN*
One of the best to have ever played the game
The ultimate dream team. No other dream teams compare to the Original!
This is when kukoc realized he had target on his back and it will be toughest game he would ever play, pippen and MJ both wanted to guard him to burst his little fame of being best European basketball player. It was nightmare for him.
But forgot the real best Euron player in Petrovic who was the best player on the court that game...
@@Deenijel of course can be the best after kukoc being guard by the 2.
real reason was because he was Krause's euro golden boy. His best discovery since Pip. Mj and Scottie wanted to shut him down as a result.
Petrovic commonly aknowledged by everyone that period was the best european player back then and beating a team like croatia that easy proves that dream team was by far till now the best team ever landed on earth in te game of basketball!
And his wife was in labour. War in your country. He was much better, and Croatia all together in finals. And now we all now why, because of Jerry Crause and his Europan love. That love brought them new three-peat and Scottie was his new mentor when he finnaly came in Chicago. Jordan was out playing baseball. Short 45 days.
- - Because of Jerry, we hated Tony. Not just Michael and I, the whole team looked at that kid and thought he would never come to the NBA after this. It didn't have anything to do with Tony personally, but we wanted Jerry to look bad - Pippen said, who said at the time that Tony had nothing to look for in the NBA.
And he was better paid when he came in then Scottie. He wasn't starter, but everybody knows that best five in team is always with his name and number.
Jordan and Pippen are just mean spirited. I love it.
1:18:00 Barkley beats 3 defenders in the paint! WOW!
It’s more amazing when you realize he’s only about 6’4.
I think the craziest stat of this 1992 Dream Team USA was that Michael Jordan averaged about 5 steals a game. Just goes to show how defensively great he is.
or because the players from other countries were so bad watch the Angola game, Angola would get blown out by 40 if they played 2016 chino hills
These Croatian guys were some of the first to bring that crafty European style to the NBA
Well they did have a 7’3” guy in the middle swatting everything in the paint that was the main reason they hung in
what about YUGOSLAVIA , first war pigs destroy Yugoslavia and then basketball pigs win others, it's easy without Yugoslavia and Serbian players
If you were born in the 2000s and a fan of NBA, welcome to the collection of the best that ever lived that played the best and real Basketball of all time

@@Gk-vs2fh there is no chance this team loses to them
No overdribbling nor uncessary moves... Just some classic basketball IQ... and MJ's lockdown D (mind blowing) !!!
Brings back memories when I was glued to all sports, now I probably couldn't name 10% of the athletes today.
We all know Magic by then was the most accomplished on the team with 5 rings, Bird was a first-ballot HOF'er and probably about to retire as the greatest SF, Michael Jordan was the NBA's best player but I was most impressed by the growth of Scottie Pippen. He was really the glue on this team the same as he was during the Bulls' 6 title run. He was the perfect specimen to play basketball...6'8, 7'3 inch wingspan, lean and trim, could run like a deer, handle the ball and make plays like a PG, was probably the second-best finisher in the game. He was just a marvel to watch. He definitely revolutionized the SF position as a point-forward and set the stage for other SF's like Grant Hill, T-Mac, LeBron, and others even Luka Doncic today is an SF playing PG. That's Scottie but none of them could lockdown on the defensive end. Scottie is arguably the greatest two-way SF of all-time and the best overall.
I think Pippen is underrated. A guy that puts up 23/8/7 and can lock down the other team's best scorer and defend literally anyone...he used to get switched the the other team's centers on back picks and block their shots...obviously Jordan was a great player but Pippen was every bit as important to the Bulls titles and people give too much credit to scoring & don't appreciate defense and other aspects enough...a great player, one of my favorites ever.

My high school coach was always grinding that into our heads. Unselfish ball, he would be so proud.
The Croat team is playing as hard and nearly as well as they can possibly play. So, they deserve credit. However, even with all of that, this USA '92 team NEVER CALLS A TIMEOUT (in this game or the WHOLE tournament). That's mind-blowing to me. How can that be possible?
Wow. Didnt know that fact
Simply put, depth and fitness. if you noticed, in most of these games, the US doesn't pull away immediately. In fact, most of these games appeared to be competitive at half time. But no other squad had the horses to run with the US for 40 minutes
@@martinwakefield8138 Fact
It is possible because the civil war started a year prior to this game so they never had to face a legitimate opponent.
Drazen. Unafraid at all times. Really wish we had more time with him.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.... and Dražen has shined so brigthly and gloriously.
jordan and pippen already rested on the bench but drazen petrovich is still on the court all the way from the start
Drazen and Tony K were both NBA starters. It's crazy how good both were, but you said it...Drazen was a straight warrior!
Can you imagine if Portland just kept Drazen and was included with those battles with the Lakers? I think he would have been the catalyst for them winning
He would have been a hall of famer for sure
Croatia played amazing considering the dream team are all hall of famers + MJ and they didn't even have a country yet (independence war was from 1991-1995)... not too bad...
croatia gained its' independence in 1991
sportsmanship in the old days is priceless... its hassle and a lot of physicalities but in the end, they give a lot of respect o everybody.. i miss those days..

Its amazing seeing how much the dream team trusted each other. A roster full of star players but without any ball hogs. Its a comoletely different sport from today. Its kinda sad to see that basketball has gotten so much worse, both from a viewer perspective, and in the actual strength of the teams.

Pippen is dope in this, the stride and quickness, he makes the diffetence.
Before his back started to weaken after 94
You can see how serious is the U.S. defence (especially Jordan!!!) The defence is suffocating.
That intro with the sounds of all those basketballs bouncing is ASMR and music to ears! Love that sound!
Look at Drazen go! Of all the players of the Croatia team, he seems to be the only one playing like he believes he has a chance to win.
Oh, and MJ's defense man... like, wow...
You are wrong about that. We the Croats play for our country with heart in every match in any sport. We all knew we cannot beat this dream team. Our goal was to get to the finals against the mighty dream team and we did it. And belive me, the silver tasted like gold.
Also Kukoc
Thanks kukoc for being the part of my favorite bulls
They probably were intimidated but Drazen was a real dawg and he already played in the NBA and was an All-star at this point I think.
The gold medal game was much more competitive. The world weren't ready for this type of competition but after this the rest of the world caught up.
At 32 yr old magic was so quick with the ball at 6'9
Drazen was absolutely fearless. He made Jordan put on his A-game face. RIP
Pippen guarding Kukoc like his life depended on it. DAYYYUUUUUM
Terrific size the Croatian team had! I wish I could have seen the players listed height along with the roster.
Very true magic was looking short and he's 6'9".

@@milecirjak8807 Agreed!
MJ prime aura and swag is something else
Croatia was honestly the only team to give the “Dream Team” a tough time, nothing came easy!
Quite amazing considering Croatia was in the middle of a war at the time.
They're a pretty big team. A 7'2" centre and two other 7 footers and two 6'11" forwards one of whom was Toni Kukoc. They played zone defense too pretty much the only way other teams can beat them was perimeter shooting. But on the other hand, the Dream Team seems blase about it. I mean they let Pippen play point guard at some point when Magic got a cramp. The only other team that comes close was the Lithuanian team with Sabonis in the centre slot.
@@logon235 I live in Croatia. There's a lot of tall people here. At 6'1 I feel below average height.
Too bad they lost
@@gavinhay6627 I know a few Croatians here too, they all tend to be tall.

Hahahaha poor Toni
He did ! ! ! LOL..........
Why did they hate kukoc
Because Jerry Krause wanted to bring Toni to Chicago so bad, but for that Pippen's contract would have to be rearranged for less money, in order for Toni to be payed. But they trade some other players, Toni came to Chicago and everybody was happy.
I think this 92 Dream Team could have Mike Tyson as head coach and still win the gold medal.
We miss you Drazen...
Some great sportsmanship. Even Barkley helped the other team up after knocking him down. Magic and the Croatia player were chatting on the way to the lockers at half. Definitely more respect displayed than a NBA game.

THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER 11 HALL OF FAME TEAM LIKE THIS. SO GLAD TO HAVE BEEN RAISED IN THE ERA OF GREATNESS
And still won't qualify the olympics in today's game🎉
Drazen Petrovic... gone to early in a car crash... the only european player who scored 100 points in a game when he was seventeen... but Kukoc was the best...
"the only european player who scored 100 points in a game when he was seventeen" Not true.
Erman Kunter (Fenerbahche)-turkish league 153 points
Aristeidis Moumoglou-Greek basket league 145 points
Zdenko Babic -FIBA Korac cup 144 points
...
Drazen Petrovic-112 points VS Olimpia Ljubljana (because of the strike Olimpia Ljubljana played with 16-year-old children)
@The Drive Everything is a true and you can find that on Google and RUclips
@thirdy03 Yes !
@thirdy03 Who is Nowitzki?
Basketball is kind of interesting without commentary, It feels more raw and real life. I used to have a boxing coach watch fights once with sound and another time without, that gives U a different point of view with no bias and is more pure experience he use to say
True my friend, greetings from Croatia
All the games from this era are better to watch then today's game
I love Pippen at 41:12!
Sick! Can't believe I've never seen that highlight
its a travel
even the play of Jordan before that is epic
So smooth and my favourite player all time
manolito mulat um no it isn’t. Watch carefully. They even replay it like three more times lol. As he’s throwing the ball in the air he takes a step with his right foot then another with his left and jumps and finishes the lay up. That’s two steps. Not. A. Travel.
