Dream Team III 115 China 58 | 07-10-1996 | Team USA Basketball Olympics
Team USA Basketball beats China in an exhibition game before the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
This has to be the greatest front court ever assembled. Hakeem, Shaq, Admiral, Malone, and Barkley. Thats insane 😂
Facts
Ernie Johnson, Chuck, and Shaq. Wow. (Kenny prolly giving Hakeem some water during the game 🤣🤣)
Stockton on both Dream Teams. Missed 25 games in 17 years. All time leader in assists AND steals.
John Stockton is one of the most underrated athletes of all time. Absolute animal.
Yet when talking about the GOAT for point guards no one brings up his name. I never understood that.
@@eelcoblaauw6689 ...he is not underrated. He is the best guard Magic Johnson ever faced night after night after night. His words. Not mine. Look it up.
@@fezzik7619 ...Magic Johnson is the Goat of PG, and he says JS was the best guard he faced. Some folks have their sensibilities in a bunch.
@@gerrystevens1694 all time leader in assists AND steals, both by a large margin. All I said is he doesn’t even get put in the conversation and should.
I miss the nineties
Me too, I want them back
Ditto
But not the suits.
@@user-wu8sj3ee3d 🤭🤣🤣lol
RIP 90’s
1992 and 1996 were the best USA Dream Teams.
yeah, it really was
The 1992 team was even better.
@@ScorpioBornIn69 because MJ was there!
@@chupisto2788 Also Magic and Bird, even despite Bird being pass his prime, his presence is also what made the difference.
Imagine if Shaq is on the 1992 USA Dream Team.
Imagine having Shaq and David Robinson coming off the bench at center to back up Akeem. No one team has ever been this loaded at center needless to say.
Pure facts !!!!!!!!
How times have changed since international basketball has finally taken off
Chuck leading the Dream team once again in scoring and FG%, he was such a beast, they cut him from the 84 when he was the most dominant player at the trials.
Commentators are amazing, incredibly informative, accurate, and keep you locked in. Nowadays we got Commentators talking about hotter than fish grease, putting jelly on his shot, and helping you learn very little about the players.
Yeah Hubie Brown is one of my favorites. I mean this game was lopsided but he still made it very interesting. He is so knowledgeable even about the chinese team, it helps me feel engaged.
Watching prime Penny and prime Grant Hill playing together is just a dream. Actually a second dream, because there's the ultimate Dream too
Wang Zhizhi & Mengke Bateer both super young & playing in this game were the first two Chinese players to play in the NBA in 2001 & 2002.
Then along came Yao Ming
I remember watching this game live on TV and Barkley was the player that impressed me the most his desire to win his intensity and the fact that he was a complete gentleman on court once again he just proves why he’s one of the Hall of Famer’s and one of my favorites As was always peace love and joy to you and yours
2k19 should have the 92, 96, 00, 08, & 12 Olympic teams
the only team who can beat the 92' dream team is the 12' dream team cause lebron - kobe- durant vs jordan-magic- bird the first big 3 is more atletic then the second one....
@@claudioroberto5976 08 Redeem team is way better than 2012. Anyway its not exactly fair to put them up against the 92 team which had 2 of its best players out of their primes (Bird and Magic) before 1992 there was no Olympic squads with NBA players so we'll never know what really could have been if we saw what the 1988 or the 84 squads could have been like.
@@claudioroberto5976 lol you're funny. This was a good joke. I laughed hard at it.
They don't even have Barkley Let alone the teams he was in
Vizual Racing Where’s the joke? If each player is playing by their prime form, 2012 has a major edge. Way more skilled in many areas and their ability to play defense is much higher simply because the knowledge on defense was much better compared to 1992 where zone was banned but hand checking was legal. Incorporate zones and ban hand checking and the 2012 team most likely bans the 92 dream team.
Watching only the first few mins so far China is stunned by the USA defense but despite that China is nailing a ton of threes and long jumpers to compensate for not being able to get near the basket. There shooting skills are impressive compared to the other countries teams I’ve seen the dream teams play. All of the Chinese players are hitting a lot of tough jump shots regularly with ease so far.
In China we call them the 94 golden generation and they were the basketball superstars before Yao Ming.
54:50 Sir Charles ! Man when he picks up speed no way would u wanna take that charge! Man ppl tend to forget how good Charles was... 6’6 playing PF Hall of Fame career in an era of the dream team?! W addition of Hakeem and Shaq? And Webber and a Kemp? Fuck man ppl need to give Charles more respect.
He was immature when he first joined the league, but you are right, he became a great player and person
Karl Malone gets far less respect, as your post demonstrates: you mention Kemp and Webber, yet fail to mention the guy known as "the greatest PF ever" during this era who also was 11 times All-NBA 1st, on multiple All-Defense Teams, with 2 MVPs and the second most points in NBA history. The disrespect for Malone is unreal.
@@anen9332 IF MAILMAN CATCH BALL IN BREAK U BETTER MOVE AWAY. U GONNA GET RHINO , KNEE ELBOW AND ALSO AND1 SCORING. MAILMAN IS MACHINE. THIS TEAM IS BEST IN HISTORY. THEY HAD 12 SUPERSTARS IN PRIME AND NO WEAKNESS ON ANY POSITION.
I never seen Reggie Miller dunk that much in a game before!😂😂😂😂
Grant and Penny.. what could have been without the injuries
These were my idols growing up
So true man..ppl forget grant hill was supposed to b like mike.. and penny was SPECIAL... I wish the world looked like 96 again...
@@joshjosh7117 I know, right?
So mant payer tooo.....D rose, Brandon Knight, Greg O....
The spacehog music in the background is on point as it was in that year i think it became a hit.
Yeah it was their only hit ever they were one-hit wonders
Hubie knows more about players than they know about themselves. Legendary
HUBIE IS PC !! I NEVER SAW MORE SMARTER MAN IN MY LIFE. GUY IS LIKE ARCHIVE.
Brown is a legend
He is arguably the GOAT commentator or for sure top 5. Was just watching an old Bulls game where Horace Grant and Pippen were rookies and he was commentating (with a young voice), and his observations were still spot on. Like he didn't grow into becoming a great analyst he already was because he really loves the game.
At 89 years old Hubie is still calling games on ABC.
Dang! Ernie had some nice hair.
I love how they learned to speak Chinese for the international crowd, they reall made an effort for the Olympic game.
Charles Barkley: "Hit me one more time! Hit me one more f#ckn time!" LOL
at what minute?
55:17
When you could watch an Olympic game on cable without having to pay extra for ESPN plus
Tnx for the upload
Grant Hill was such a G. The future of the league along with Penny. Fricking foot injuries
Sky's the limit for them, damn those injuries, also think Grant was overworked at Detroit...
Hakeem's footwork is smooth as butter.
Shouldn’t have been allowed to play
@@thehistory5401 why not? Like literally or he was just that good?
@@jonathanpeterson1984 I guess he means because hes Nigerian!
Hakeem Olajuwon is a naturalized player for usa team
Shaq said that Dream team II was every bit as good as Dream team I. When you look at the rosters and their ages, I think I agree with him.
Forgot how incredible Penny Hardaway was. He's like Magic Johnson, but quicker and with better handles. Some of these passes he's throwing have defenders looking like "Where did the ball go?" I think a lot of people forget that when Jordan first retired, the NBA was looking to Penny Hardaway, Shaq and Grant Hill to be the future faces of the league. Its cool to see Reggie Miller in here too. He's a guy who is really known for his clutch shots, but he's really one of the best defenders of all time too. Lenny Wilkins has it so easy. Dream Team 2 was crazy talented.
1996 was Dream Team 3
Definitely not one of the best defenders of all time definitely a baller though
1992 Dream Team was the best Dream Team
@@B501R 1992 Dream team is the only Dream team.
Hardaway like Magic Johnson?? Please...
The pressure that Team USA is putting is absurb from start to finish, its like its the final two mins of the game.
Grant hill would’ve been top 5 player ever had his knees held up!!!
Penny Hardaway was a legend until his legs failed him
It's his ankles, not knees.
@@christianbastasa4221 no dinner for Native 99
No way
And Penny. Don't forget Penny. He was amazing at his health peak. A healthy Hill and early peak T-Mac in Orlando would have been amazing to watch.
这支球队的实力要超过08年，投篮真准，每个人基本功都扎实，看看现在的国家队…惨不忍睹

Hakeem's game is just amazing to watch :)
Wang zhizhi became the first Chinese basketball player ever to play in the NBA.
Kids this is what Defence looks like
more physical does not mean better
@@swaggyjones9875 where did i say more physical? Are you blind
@@swaggyjones9875 the whole team was putting pressure full court. you can do this today but it seems team usa today only likes to shoot threes. no wonder france beat them.
@@tobznoobs its coach pops is the problem coach k did that thats why team usa dominated 08 to 16 bcoz of pressure he was part of the coaching staff of dream team
2:57 Hubie with the hair.... he still looks old af HAHA But a hell of a coach and commentator.
This was a classic Dream Team
This team could take on the best players today and still stomp them even though the world has had over 25 years of practice and training to prepare for it
This team comes to the future and would still win easy
Those were the days 💙
Please release gold medal match 1996 Olympics US VS Yugo
The first Dream Team... Is Dream team all time, forever...
How many dream teams bro?
@@christopherukundo4883 There were 3. 1992, 1994 and 1996. 2008 and 2012 were a redeem team I guess.
1996 Dream Team would destroy 2012 USA Team in 2012 olympics
Well nah
yeah, probably by 30 points. Imagine all the crying from baby bron bron.
Who stopping Kobe
Wrong
shaquille parsons both Gary “the Glove” Payton and Scottie Pippen in their prime could do it. And they’ve done it before!
This dream team had the best centers Hakeem the dream,shaq O'Neal, David Robinson got Shaq and David Robinson coming off the bench dang u this teams was so loaded at the center positions that's for sure
whats the song at the start with the centers intro
It was so amazing watching The Dream Team play basketball in the 96 Olympics, But watching them play China...priceless.
Stockton and Robinson playing the most G-rated game of golf ever played by two athletes lol.
When Penny and Grant were healthy they were next level. Too bad they both got hurt generational talent. I laugh when I see Zion Williamson play and people act like he is the best athlete they have ever seen.
Grant nor Penny could jump like him are run smh thats the difference.
@@kennethwilliams6620 ????
@@kennethwilliams6620 both could run and jump exactly like him. They just didn't weigh as much. And they both handles, passes and jumpers. SMH. Hill and Penny were faster and could jump out of the gym.
DOMINANT
90s era the best for NBA
GET REKkeD!! thanks for the upload!
28:56 I miss this guy.
Dang back when Hubie Brown could look you in the eye and you actually trusted his analysis
That graphics package makes me think of NBA Live 97
OMG. You are facing one of Hakeem, David or Shaq. You are a bit tired and you look down the bench and see the other two itching to play. Suddenly you realize Ewing is not even here.
and still surrounded by the likes of Malone and Barkley in the paint xD
Interestingly few of the players on that USA team had stints with the Phoenix Suns during their NBA careers. Hardaway, Barkley, Hill and Shaq.
Don't forget Dan Majerle and Kevin Johnson on Dream Team II.
America West Arena changed to US Airways Center, and changed again to Talking Stick Resort Arena. Was there last week to watch the Suns vs Indiana Pacers.
Exactly. So does the 2016 USA team. 5 player in those team such as Durant, Cousins, Green, Barnes and Klay Thompson have a stints with the Warriors in their NBA career. Except Green and Thomson are still staying with GSW, these day
I miss the time when the Centers plays and dominating in the paints, battle of the bigmen inside...unlike today
i would love to see that time DREAM TEAM USA vs CENTENNIAL TEAM RP EXIBITION GAME only👍✌
Those Jerseys were bad ass!!!!!
3 of the 4 inside the nba panelists in this broadcast+Reggie Miller
Shaq, The Dream and The Admiral 😮 that's tuff
I'm a Survivor of covid 19
Is an Actual 1996 Olympic game Featuring this teak....this is an exhibition game
Maybe there are some 1994 Dream Team II exhibition games?
whats the song playing in the beginning?
Complete lineup of this team plz
What’s the name of that song and artist at the beginning of this video? Anyone?
As a Chinese its simple, nothing to be shamed about. US team is the best. Its an honor to be compared with the dream team
Here is your second team Stockton, Richmond, Pippen, Malone and Robinson.
And could beat the starters 5 xs out of 10 or more I'd bet. Stockton was still elite, gettin rdy to go back-to-back finals. Plus rich , pip, mailman, admiral...would be hard to beat, esp if rich is shooting good
Malone, for instance, was considered a better player than Barkley at this time; the debate between the two was over. Malone was All-NBA 1st Team a record (until LeBron broke it) 11 straight years, while Barkley made the 1st Team five times (from 1993 to 1996, Barkley made two 2nd Teams and one 3rd Team, while Malone was 1st Team every year from 1988 to 1999). And Richmond had already been All-NBA 2nd Team by this time, while Miller only wver made the 3rd Team (Richmond also made more All-NBA Teams overall than Miller). Which indicates how arbitrary some of these lineups are. I especially like this backup roster better for defense: Malone, Pippen, Robinson and Stockton all made multiple All-Defensive Teams. Pippen not winning a DPOY is a travesty. Meanwhile, though Payton and Hakeem are great, great defensive players (Payton having just won DPOY, while also holding Jordan to 36.7% shooting in the final three games of the 1996 Finals), Hill and Barkley never made an All-Defensive Team and were certainly lesser defenders than Pippen and Malone. All that said, these lineups would change from game to game; so, it wasn't as if this was a set starting lineup for the 1996 DT. For instance, when this team played the Select Team in Detroit the starting lineup was Stockton, Miller, Hill, Malone and O'Neal.
I remember these games. It looked like the NBA players weren’t even trying.
20 years ago, there were not so many free throws, games seem nonstop.
Other teams often collapse during the late half of the match when playing with USA super team.
Wow, I do love China's basketball team.
China's playing style is todays NBA
Jo an aterana how sad to see our national team loss its identity
You have to understand back then china team doesn’t have the next gen players such as Yao or Yi, they are more physically capable to do the job. But there are some good three pointers gotta point that out
That's crazy. Ernie is doing the halftime show while Shaq and Charles were playing. I have no idea where Kenny was at that time though
Kenny was still in the league. I think 97 was his last season.
Gettin some water for Hakeem!
The only drean team was the Barcelona 92 team. It was the first and there will be no other like it. Stars like Michael Jordan Magic Johnson Larry Bird, Charles Barkley Malone. There will be no other like it. They are also almost the same from 92.👍🏻🏀
true that! 2012 was our 92 for us! now they all bout to retire soon lol
MOST OD THEM WERE INJURED PASS PRIME OR NOT EVEN SUPERSTARS. MULLIN OR LEATNNER NEVER BECAME ULTIMATE SUPERSTARS. U DONT KNOW WHAT U TALKING BOUT. THIS IS 12 SUPERSTARS IN PRIME WITH 3 BEST CENTERS IN HISTORY. ALL OTHER TEAMS HAD INJURED PLAYERS OR LACK OF SUPERSTARS. 1996 HAD NO WEAKNESS THEY HAVE SHOOTERS, WING DEFENDERS, BEST PG DEFENDERS IN HISTORY, BEST 3 POINT SHOOTERS IN HISTORY, AND 3 GOAT CENTERS !!
bird and magic were past of their primes, the 1996 one is either on their prime or entering their prime.
U JUST HATER U FORGOT JORDAN LOSS 1995 TO SHAQ WHILE HE SCORED 36 PER GAME PLAYOFF MEDIA BRAINWASHING U JORDAN HE IS NOT THAT GOOD WITH PIPPEN. HAKEEM WON RING WITH OUT SUPERSTAR HIM ALONE 1994 JORDAN NEVER WON ALONE
1:29-1:39 best part of the video
😂😅 ernie will get cancel if he said today
Oh man I wish it was 1996
E o Shakille O'Neall era banco nesse time. Nossa !!!
Hakeem footwork is an art
"The bilingual pair of Dick Stockton and Hubie Brown"... up pops Statler and Waldorf.
Remember the name change America west arena to footprint arena a city of Phoenix work, NBC number 1 fan
the China shot the ball surprisingly well.
So on the one hand humanity can count literature, engineering, science, technology, art, music, medicine, math, and philosophy among the highest accomplishments and on the other hand we have these people who bounce and toss balls. Lessee, which do we need these days?...
Man I would love the dreams teams to play todays competition. I think some of the overseas teams would play really well. With better shooting skill ball movement plays bigger faster guys. They can give them a run for their money they wouldn’t be able to fast break every possession
Barkley 💪🏼💯
Where is score board??
This front court team is better than 1992 dream team.
Olajuwon spoke the best Chinese among the three centers.
Why they playing in the Suns stadium?
title of the song at the beginning? i remember it back in the 90s.. only now that i hear it again
spacehog- in the meantime
Jayson Rosete SPACEHOG-in the meantime
thanks a lot!
Jayson Rosete i said it first
thanks to both of you! :)
4:08 Hubie staring through the void that is Dick Stockton's ear hole is mesmerizing.
When China was considered exotic and not the bad guy
Stockton court vision was second to none
Please 2002 FIBA World Championship final game.
OMG the Legend Ernie Johnson looks so young.
This is a game for 1992 USA team against - 2022 USA team... NBA is that bad nowadays... 92 dream team would have crash them in peices...
Jeezus they weren't playing around. Full court press right from the start
Why are they playing on Suns arena?
Imagine how raw the 88 squad coulda been
Was charles barkley still play for the suns at this time?
Yes, Barkley was still with the Suns at the time. However a month later in August 1996 he would be traded to the Rockets.
