Yeah this team was able to win by just showing up. IMO this is the only team that could still do that in today’s international competition. The players we have nowdays have to practice for three summers to win gold. My sneaker money says that players today don’t have the team concept like the dream team had. Look at how everyone shares the ball. GREATEST TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED.

Well nowadays nba players are just more cocky.
Looking at old tapes when Mike was dunkin’ (and viciously!) on Pat, Ewing never stood out to make a scene nor to throw an elbow. But he simply made sure that Cartwright would get his part!

The early ’90s was Charles Barkley at his best.
Arguably the best team of all time if you put Hakeem in there and take out Laettner.
I think they had different top scorers in each game too, don’t know about Laettner though.
Unlike today’s version of Team USA are about just 3 players racking up points.

agreed darkness

stern is so terrified that all of white middle america is going to shit their collective pants the next time a big, athletic, tatted black man gets in another big, athletic, tatted black man’s face, hes made sure that if any of them even THINK about showing some sort of passion in the heat of the game that they get fucked right in the ass.

what happened to things like:

-bad boys “jordan rules”
-miami/new york playoffs
-mchale killing rambis (and being assigned a singular personal foul)
-barkley daring fools to take charges
-karl malone breaking isiah’s face

and so on and so on…so sad.

bench clearing brawls are accepted in baseball, fighting is the major reason ANYONE watches hockey, and football is violent enough. just because ron artest (who is now on my team) is fucking crazy, doesnt mean that stern should ruin the game forever.

I miss players like Barkley. I’m not condoning what he did, but just that passion and tenacity he played with.

Nowadays, people that have heart stand out, as though they are the exception (and they kinda are in today’s NBA). I was brought up on them 90′s Knicks teams, and Big East basketball. In the league today, if you stare at someone too long it’s a problem, WTF?! And for y’all thinking I’m so old head, I’m an 80′s baby.

Charles is the same guy who thinks he is the moral authority on how the game should be played…too funny…

This is Pros vs High Schoolers. It is amazing to see how far the International game has come and how now the NBA is actually being labeled the soft league. No touching and banging in the paint anymore…We are switching identities with the international game…

I have every single Dream Team game on DVD. Paid $10 on eBay for it. Once in a while, I burn a fatty and watch some fantastic one-sided games.
