As a German basketball fan, who had his "prime" during the early 90s, it's still hard to watch the German team loosing without any chance :) Above all, this wasn't a bad team, they won the European Championship in '93. But nothing and no one can compete with the '92 dream team, neither later teams from USA. This was the pinnacle of basketball.
yeah. I don't know how you even prepare to play a team like this. They have a dominate player at every position
Not correct if Yugoslavia didn’t fall apart we would have beaten dream team In fact Yugoslavian basketball team was the reason dream team was assembled to stop them Petrovic divac kukoc danilovic radja paspalj djordjevic …..oh that would have been a final to watch
@@speedygonzales2052 KKKK yUGOSLAVIA WOULD NOT HAVE A CHANCE. THEY WOULD HAVE LOST BY 50 POINTS LIKE ANY OTHER TEAM HERE
Jakey Phillip no chance Yugoslavia world and European champion Like an oiled German machine Playing together for many years 1992 the gold would have been ours
2012 USA TEAM you’re tripping!
Bird had so many injuries he couldnt do much but hes still diving on floor. Larry Legend
And he still plays great D, and hits two 3pts in a row.
Totally!! 😊
Larry was the top scorer in this game with 19 points. He also contributed 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Larry Birb is foe keen GOAT!!!
I just got to watch Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and David Robinson all on the court at once and am still having trouble fathoming it. Very jealous of everybody who was able to witness this live
it was great. Vegence was needed (after years of other countries playing pro's to our college boys) and was satisfieing beyond description.

United States of Africa's best team
@@lukashanko90 cringe
@@lukashanko90 what??
MJ’s perimeter defense at 41:55 is something to behold. The court awareness and the hassle is what sets him apart as one of the best defender at his position
💯
What I like about the NBA superstars of the older eras is how great their fundamentals were. You can tell they know how to play against zones. They did not rely solely on flashiness and athleticism. They were well educated basketball players.
Coolest play of the game @ 36:31. Larry wit the wide open "Woooo" and MJ immediately found him without looking. These games with no announcers to where you can hear them talk are super cool.
This is the loudest wooo i heard in a Basketball game ever.😂
I was there in Barcelona and watched this game in person, what a team! Got a picture of Charles Barkley waving to us :)
Woahh Nicee
I wish I was there when this USA team was playing. That would have been so awesome to see these NBA greats in action.
The 90's was a golden era for basketball
It was the golden era of everything
80s and 90s
The skill level of players in particular shooting skills have really developed since then. A selection of the best players now would beat the original dream team. Just because something was in the past does not mean it was necessarily better. Some comments here suggest that someone's heydays necessarily coincide with the gold era of everything else.
@@dougsmith2658 golden era before the eternal pandemic of covid19 strikes.
@@omnivorous65 Well same goes to your comment, whatever's recent and "modern" does not mean it is better. A selection of the best player now would get beaten too by the 92' dream team especially if the 92' team gets the luxury of your "modern" training of shooting as you suggest. Plus MJ with current training and nutrition, he would be Zeus on steroids. It's the sound fundamental and mental toughness that the current generation of NBA players are lacking. It's all soft and cuddly nowadays.
92 Dream Team was a masterclass in team basketball.
I'm very thankful to be able to finally see these games in its entirety now. As I recall back in the day, the networks would only air about half a game (if even that) and switch to some other event because every matchup was such a blowout. The Croatia game was the only one that I remember seeing the whole game.
"Get up on him!" "Motion, motion." "Charles!" "Short" "Heads up!" "I got ball" "Switch!" . . .without the announcers and a whole lot of crowd noise we can hear MJ constantly yelling out orders, quite the field general, he was managing the game and giving 100% every moment . . dude really worked hard to win every play!
Cool to be able to hear Michael Jordan, playing point guard, barking out play calls and giving general advice to the squad. I don't think people realize how effective he could be at that position if his team needed it.
Yes exactly
He was the second best point guard for the Bulls on the floor for the Dream Team - there is a reason that Pippen ran point for the Bulls as often as he did... he was often the one running their offense
Fun fact, in 1989, Doug Collins appointed Jordan to the point position for the last 24 games of the regular season. In those 24 games, he averaged 30.4 PPG, 9.2 RPG, and 10.7 APG, almost averaging a triple double and ended up getting 10 triple doubles in 11 games! Amazing!
@@davidkrappenschitz8864 That sounds impressive until you realize that LeBron James averaged 10.2 APG for an entire season, in his 17th season, age 35 (Jordan was 25, in his 5th season)... though, for the era of the late 80s, it was an impressive stat line...
@@generalkang1969 Yeah, and while Lebron’s stat line is impressive, the reason why Jordan never averaged more assists is because Pippen usually handled that aspect of the game, leaving Jordan to not really needing to distribute the ball. However the fact the Lebron was 35 really shows his longevity.
This is great... hearing the players.. .no commentators.. its like being there.... sort of.
Definitely
@M go away Watch soccer there aren’t even that many countries in the world
@M There are 195 countries in the world. Did you make up the other 40+ in your imagination?

Yeah you can almost smell Michael's Tongue.😛🏀🥇🥇🥇🥇
Lots of comments on these videos about the great players. But nobody seems to mention the real heart and lifeblood of this, the greatest basketball team ever assembled, the coaching staff. Chuck Daley and his staff did a MASTERFUL job managing egos and molding these superstars, many whom did not like each other, into a cohesive team, rather than just an all star team.
That's why they were the Dream Team, including coaching staff.
I noticed two things in this game (and in all of the Dream team games): 1. They practically coached by themselves 2. Detlef Schrempf could do little to help his team as USA already knew him perfectly.
36:33 Is that Larry making that "WHOOOO" sound so Mj knows to pass him the ball? He puts his hands up and everything lol.
Bird played good for a guy who was in pain all the time. It be nice to have seen him get hot and do about 5 3s in a row
Interesting combination when charles, clyde, mj, davidr and ewing played at the same time... wow!!!
I love being able to hear the court audio the whole time, things you miss on a normal broadcast. You can hear how much Jordan would talk to his teammates calling out short shots, plays, giving them props on good plays.
wow i am watching this more than the nba currently!! now THIS is basketball! Larry was around 38 here, he had a terrible back injury but still played on
I think he was 35
@@mcgregor23 yes i think 35 is more accurate
Watching all of these men battle through the 80"s and then merge together to create this team was amazing. It showed the best in sportsmanship. I miss those days!
Jordan behind the back pass to drexler. Beautiful. Peace
use time odes dumbass
I truly believe that Germany would’ve won this game if they scored more points than USA.
The legendary players love to watch this! The USA Dream team ever!!!❤️
Anyone who is a longtime fan of the UNC Tar Heels bball program knows who Henrik Rödl is. He helped UNC win the 1993 national championship over Michigan. You'll always be loved in North Carolina, Henrik Rödl.
How’d he go in the NBA? Oh wait…
55:50 lmao barkley
Dude is a menace lol
The most dominant team ever in any sport, we will never see something like that again. Seeing Bird at that age and with is back problems playing at that level is just extraordinary!!!
The japanese female wrestling team is/was pretty dominant too. They would take gold in 8 out 10 wheight classes.
Russian hockey team ...
Mercedes F1 Team...
@Dagur The Deranged Players from new era will beat this team...In DT there was many playoff chokers like Mulin Admiral Pipp Malone Stockton who is bad version of Cp3
Brazil 1960
33:29 "That's my boy!" -Magic
Mlunny81 I waited to see if he said it about Larry! I know Magic idolizes Larry, they each hold special places in each others’ hearts 💕
Watching this now (mid-2021) is amazing. HOF starting five … and every substitution brings another HOF player on the floor. Just our college kids used to impose their will upon the world in the Olympics. Once they changed the rules to actually allow NBA pros? The watchability factor went up 10-fold, and the competitiveness of the games plummeted by roughly the same measure. Awesome that this is available here on YT.
The Dream Team played without a time out through the entire time they were together, they have no set offense - just playing like it's pick up in the play ground, they basically don't sleep instead playing cards and drinking every night and they had injuries to Stockton, Magic and Larry. All this and they still recorded the largest average margin of victory in history. Imagine if they scouted teams and took it seriously ...
If they played like that 2008, 2012 or 2016 they would have lost big time against the European teams which almost beat the "serious" American basket-teams(like Spain 2008 and 2012). Seems the rest of the world sharpened up after 92 ^)^
@@henriklarsson5221 -- This American team is vastly superior to those American teams you are referencing. There's no way those Spanish teams come close to the 92 American squad.
@@MJ-eo5hd I guess we will never know ^)^
MrR9999 it’s hard to stay focus when the gap between dream team and opponents is big
this whole game is a joke. these germans are playing against the best players on the planet.
This awesome to watch all these legends play on the same team! I love each and one of them!
basketball lesson good t teaching
you polygamist.
33:30 Magic says "That's my boy!" After Bird scores a basket.
With so much pride, too. Two adversaries became brothers
USA always had great players in the history of basket, they love this game thet have it in blood.
Oh God, I missed watching games without any flopping!
I love how the Spanish cameramen find random, gorgeous women in the crowd to film. Lol.
8:42
@@neighborhoodpranksters6214 thanks
That happens in every major sporting event. Just name it, World Cup, Super Bowl, World Series... the camera loves pretty girls so cameramen always seek them out, except most announcers don't go all horn dog like Brent Musberger once did, they just keep their dirty thoughts to themselves.
Thats normal in soccer
Is usa United States of Africa???
Who came herr after Germany beat US in the semi-finals?
the powerful dream team playing germany with detlef schrempf and boris becker is in the crowd watching! i feel like a child again ! :D
I miss this 1992 Olympics now.
I recognized Schrempf's haircut immediately :)
I like how Chuck Daly just sits there. He knows he doesn’t have to do anything haha
Chuck Daly as coach never called one time out in 8 games at the Olymics.
MJ’s D at 1:03:55. There’s nobody in today’s game has the same tenacity and reflexes that Jordan has. GOAT on both ends of the floor. Watch his 88 campaign and you’ll see why he’s Scoring champion and DPOY same year
they were in holiday mode. drunk and hung over from playing cards all night in michael's room. and still... so far ahead of the other guys. they're not even trying... and still look as smooth as silk. although, for whoever watched them in the nba... this is not their true form. still the best team of all time. the chemistry between them was incredible.
a lot of it was because the rest of the world was so far behind them in terms of skill and development
Top USA stats vs. Germany: Bird 19 pts, 3 stl Malone 18 pts, 5 reb, 4 stl Jordan 15 pts, 12 ast Barkley 14 pts Mullin 13 pts, 6 ast, 5 stl
Wish Bird wasn't always in pain..imagine him playing without pain
6:19 - Chris Mullin legend!
2021 reliving this iconic 1992 Basketball match in Olympics.
How do you make substitutions on the USA bench? Ok, next hall of Famer up... sorry gotta bench this hall of Famer...
I really appreciate my kids being able to see this. Thank you. Any chance you will rebroadcast 1980 is Olympic Hockey games? I’d like to share it with my kids too someday.
MJ was such an underrated defensive player (if that is possible). It wasn't that he was working hard at all time. His spider sense on defense was off the chart and also helped that he was lightening quick w/ strong big hands.
Dream team 1992 is the best team in the basketball history
mmmmm i dont know..the team which had kd,durant,kobe,melo,wade,lebron would most likely beat this dream team...wade was in his prime,kobe not very in his prime but the rest were there.....too many accurate shooters
@@natecole4486 nah dream team was better
Agreed
3:17 Connie Sellecca!!! :-)
Da Mailman. He was something else.
Hard to beat a team with kind of experience the dream team had. Unbelievable.
It’s really cool to see content like this for free
I would watch a whole series of documentaries on the teams that played the Dream Team. What were they thinking? How did they prepare? How do they think about the whole thing years later?
Michael Jordan's pass at 12:57!!!!!
You’re not American right?
I love when there's no commentated because we can hear what the players are saying like Micheal Karl and Patrick we can hear there real self in the game
People may not see it...but Jordan masterminded a diplomatic mission for the first Dream Team by keeping hothead Isaiah Thomas off it and keeping Barkley under control, and making sure everyone worked together. People think he was a control freak in the NBA...but this entire Olympic performance showed otherwise. All the other teams were treated with respect.
It also helped they were playing teams that were 95 percent amateurs
Barkley vs Angola was pretty rude and bullying.
@@betteruin2294 Patently untrue. Prior to 1992 FIBA rules actually forbid NBA players from playing in Olympic tournaments, but other countries were allowed to utilize their top players from domestic leagues.
I’m not sure that makes what he said untrue? Take this German squad for example. They are 95% amateurs. Schrempf is the only one who was playing in the NBA and, quite frankly, any European league was akin to amateur level basketball in the USA. Not that I can confess whether any of these German players played in any recognised European pro league any ways!
3:17 good job camera man
She is beautiful
@@sensei6490 probably chris mullin’s wife
Journalist: Dennis, why do you feel you weren't on the Dream Team? Rodman: Because to most of the guys on the team, I was a nightmare 💯
Who’s Dennis replacing on that team?😂
oh wow, that pass by Jordan to Drexler 12:57
12:53 is gold!
Malone falling out of bounds, twisting and throwing to Ewing, who passes to MJ, who has a nice one-handed behind-the-back pass to Drexler for the layup. Greatest team ever assembled.
@@JBBGeek And the Glide slides between to defenders to the rim.
Hansi Gnad is really a big dude, but compared to Malone, he really seemed slim, lol. And Hendrik Rödel was so afraid bringen up the ball, he never dribbeled with his weak left hand for one second. Still remember watching this game live back then. It was sureal..and magic.
9:57 I love the lack of commentary you can hear Drexler yell out “I’ve got Schrempf” wish there were more games broadcast like this
All Chuck Daley's struggling with throughout the game is whats he having for dinner
🤣
Its so cool to see greats like christian latener and detlef schrempf play on the same court!
Great game.I love each of them.
I am enjoying watching these Dream Team games but its weird not to have Marv Albert calling the game. I don't see many live sports events so that is the feel. Thanks for posting.
19:07 The year 1992 when Scottie Pippen was white... xD
lol
Lmao, I saw that to 😂
bird had more first half pts than germany did
Detlef rocked that same haircut his whole career.
Bart Simpson wears his hair like that too!!!! Lol!!!!
it was just mind blowing for us europeans to see such athletes (more or less) the very first time, compared to them basketball in europe was like in slow motion 😂 thats why dream team I will remain THE dream team forever 🙂
This team would do similar, if they would play today. But to be fair, in europe, you had majorly amateurs, who worked besides playing basketball. In this game for example, only Detlev Schrempf (11) was a professional, who played in the NBA as well.
Yoooo i can actually see the ball. This is some amazing 1992 quality
Well it's 1992 not 1892 lol
Back when all the stars of the league played.. Took pride in playing for there country
Greatest Team ever assembled in any sport, ever
The greatest team ever wouldnt lose to some college players lmfao
I’m guessing you don’t watch a lot of sports
Love how the majority of the stadium kept watching them like there was no other team there :)
And also it's so fascinating to see the shoes at that time it's like only 30 years later and it's impressive how different it is from today like it looks the same but there's more color too it
As a fan of basketball..this makes me cry seeing all the greats..I just wish zeke was on this team but regardless this is the best squad ever.
Chris Mullin was a machine
Imagine if you were the coach of the team going against the 92 dream team. How would you pump up your team knowing you will lose?
How about showing both the preliminary and the gold medal final between USA and Croatia, the battle of MJ and Scottie vs. Toni Kukoc, all soon-to-be Bulls teammates?
All great players but Toni sure got a better hair in Chicago!!
Dream team ❤
Legend Michael Jordan the dream team basketball USA
MJ playing PG, getting everyone involved.
No commentators. No bull$h!t. Just Basketball ✊🏽
I kept trying to think what was different. Finally, duh, the constant talk from the commentators! It was lovely.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The ASMR of basketball
I love this game and I love these player
Dream Team 1 really had great chemistry. Other iterations weren' t the same in terms of their passing and team game and yeah the world got better but I think Dream Team 1's chemistry was really the hallmark of this team. And with most of the players6-8 years in the league already at least, they were not that young bad young enough in their primes. The next iterations were composed mostly of young superstars with a mix of some old heads but this one had them all in their primes except Bird. Magic was still at the tale ne do his prime here despite the long layoff.
I wish I was there experiencing this live! 🔥😍🙌
jordan,barkley, ewing .. was solid ..
This sequence - 31:39!
That’s why Larry is a Legend
@@arthurlecuyer1906 Exactly!
4:12 Boris Becker looking cool as always XD
@Charis Axiopoulos watching the game lmfao
I forgot Detlef Schrempf was on that team.
Germany has disappeared from the world basketball map for many years. Nobody pays any attention to this team any more.
@3:18, I think that's actress Connie Selleca,and at 4:10, Boris Becker, German tennis player.
A pesar que este era el mejor equipo del mundo (Dream Team) se veían muy erráticos en su juego, como que se les sentía desintonizados..Jordan fallando en los tiros libres por ejemplo!?
I just love picturing a young Dirk at home watching this live
Its crazy how the speed of the game changed over the years
Something like 23 championships among this whole team. And this team of those with no championships would also be tough to beat: Ewing-C Malone-PF Barkley-SF Stockton-PG Mullin-SG
Imagine pat Riley coaching this team it would really be SHOWTIME running up and down the floor on every play
Scorekeeper: So how loud would you like the game horn/buzzer? Officials: Yes!
i love dolph lundgrens impact on the 90s haircuts!
