Greatest basketball team this planet will EVER see.

As a non-American, I remember everyone was super pumped to have the privilege to see the Dream Team in action. Nobody seemed to care that their country got completely destroyed by them.

That save by Jordan and the pass to Bird in the first half. You just knew Larry wasn't going to miss that shot.

Another thing that really makes this team special is that every player was FUNDAMENTALLY great. These guys were basketball geniuses. No team can ever beat this one.

Bird and Magic were on their last ride together as teammates. Imagine them in their prime at these games!

These were the best years of basketball. I had the best childhood watching these guys in action.

i forgot just how incredible this team was. Still, even today, no combination of players could match the talent on this team.

I know Bird wasn't a guard (he only ran the floor, passed and shot like one), but watching Magic to Bird, I'm just imagining them as guards on the same team. Two 6'9" guys who pass like magicians. The other takeaway is how freakishly athletic Charles Barkley was. I was watching the NBA his entire career, but it's easy to forget that he was a hell of an athlete.

There will never be a basketball team as complete as this. Greatest team ever assembled in any sport

This may be the greatest group of passers to ever play in basketball. They were so unselfish, and it all starts with the influence Bird and Magic had the entire league beginning when they both entered the NBA. Magic and Bird made passing cool and - more importantly - effective for winning championships.

Larry Bird man! That guy is supremely phenomenal. Aging. Bad back. Couldn’t even stand at that particular point for long periods of time. Yet he’s so great, he’s still gonna find a way to torch you. Top 10 player of all time for sure and in my top 6 or 7. Favorite historic player ever

I'll never forget watching this team. The level of talent and skill was insane. What made it so special is that all these guys spent years competing against each other and then to have the chance to see them work together was out of this world. Throughout these Olympics, the U.S. was playing chess and everyone else was playing checkers. There's never been another team this good, and there likely never will be.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Dream Team play in person. So glad I did, because today's NBA does not even interest me.

It's not just the collection of talent. It's that collection of talent focused on being the best team possible. It would have been easy to have ego problems, and infighting that derailed them, but the friction they did have seemed to be of the creative type. There will probably never be a more dominant international team in any sport.

Incredible what bird can do with the vast majority of his mobility erased by severe back injuries! I can't imagine anyone else playing through that kind of pain. What a thing of beauty to see magic deliver the assist to his once greatest rival. Playing together at last!

The first dream team is the only one dream team. This team incredible and invisible. Unbelievable

The Golden Age of Basketball.

I can remember watching all of these games as they were played. No disrespect whatsoever to any current player but there will never be a team as good as this one here. It's not open for debate with me either.

Saw every game through to the gold medal in the Olympics and to say it was phenomenal would be an understatement.

I'm not sure there anything as satisfying as watching Magic pass the ball off. It's the way he did it, the body position, the leg, you never knew where it was going to go. To see that again in the opening minutes is just like yesterday. He just had such style, he really was Magic.

What a showcase of style, skill, confidence, athleticism, teamwork. Surely one of the greatest teams assembled.

Watching Bird let that ball fly is a thing of beauty. I don’t know why most people never mention him when they discuss the greatest shooters in the history of the game. Steph is obviously the greatest shooter, but after him people say it’s Ray Allen, Klay Thompson, Reggie Miller, or maybe even KD. Only a few mentions Larry Legend in their top 5.

Bird was a Absolute 3pt Wizard. Loved watching him play.. Jordan and the rest are also Legends.. Greatest Team ever assembled. ❤️

This game showcased the basketball IQ all these guys had. I have never seen so many no look passes with no time to think about it. Truly awesome.

1:18 that behind the back pass by MJ... damn

Holy shit! You forget how awesome this team was. What is there, 10 hall of famers on it? Including Bird, Jordan, and Magic ON THE SAME TEAM????? Damn.

The NBA could learn a lot by watching this video.

That's why I love the original 1992'S DREAM TEAM!!!!!

Funny to hear Mike Fratello say: "You just KNEW that Larry Bird was not going to miss that shot..." Mike Fratello knew very well how damaging Larry could be to an opponent after he torched Mike's Atlanta Hawks with his 60 point game! I'm sure he never forgot that night, the night when his own Atlanta players were high-fiveing each other on Larry's phenomenal shooting.

You would never expect it watching Barkley and Shaq go at it in inside the NBA. But Charles Barkley was a straight up savage in his prime. Obviously the whole team was great but old Chuck was tearing it up full court.

Amazing game, USA team was unreal. But kudos to the Cuban team for not giving up. I know that they knew there was no chance at winning so atleast they can say they played against the best basketball team ever assembled.

The players on the other teams were in awe of these guys. It wasn't really a competition, it was an exhibition.

5:48 was so awesome...Magic to Bird...Awesome!

It's not only how they shoot the basketball. The way they play "Defense" is pure solid.

Bird was just a rebounding and 3 dropping machine.

I love this so much! That team!! I remember. I was a senior in high school. The pure definition and epitome of world DOMINATION!!! And the world's best!! Also, the documentary on the Dream Team is outstanding!!!

Best basketball you’ll ever see in your lifetime. I was in graduate school when these Olympic Games were held. And I used to duck out of class when I could to watch these games on Tv. Thank God I still graduated. Lol

There're so many talented NBA players today. Why do I love watching this previous generation of greats, so much more?? It almost seems like a different game they were playing back then. And those guys were such a bunch of _characters!_ Barclay, Malone, Bird, Drexler etc etc - god I miss watching those guys! :^}

Wow... seeing these guys play, and react in sync with each other. Like being able to read each others minds and anticipate each other's moves in milliseconds. Even though this was an important game like the opening of the Olympics qualifier game, they were so good, so in sync and so in tune with each other as an entire team, it ceased to be a game. It was FUN. Unadulterated professional fun. It no longer mattered what the score was. They were so good at their individual craft and so in tune as a team, it didn't matter it was a sport or a serious game. Simply being in the zone was a shared collective experience and all of them working together in perfect harmony. This was the funniest moments of their entire lives living in the moment on the basketball court. This was passion beyond the telling of it. But more importantly, it was a shared professional bond of the sport they all were masters in. This was ART.

1. So much fun watching these great push the pace and run. 2. It's hard to defend Charles and his 13 inch vertical. 😊

Greatest team of all-time, never to be surpassed.

Loved to watch all of these guys but I still think Drexler was over looked. He could fly. Man, this team was awesome.

That was a great summer. Love seeing retro Portland and the Memorial Coliseum arena. A great year for Drexler.

It is SUCH a joy to watch this team play. Every time they pass the ball, it goes to yet another one of my all-time favorite players! It must have been tough being one of the Cuban players though. Even the second stringers on this team are all Hall of Famers. What a team! The best ever!

When we watch a normal game, even if an NBA finals or other basketball leagues that are playing a finals game, considering a wide margin of lead, you will not bother to watch it in the end. But this original Dream Team, from start to finish you will always be glued to your seat, you don’t want to miss any action on every play

made me happy watching this team USA.

Это были цари и боги баскетбола, я с России и помню какой кайф смотреть на Джордана и всю легендарную команду мечты!!!! Хорошее было время!

Just imagine throwing Stockton, Malone, David Robinson, Clyde Drexler, Chris Mullin.. Into the game for "filler minutes" in the second half, when up like 80 to 30 lol

these highlights will never get old! love this team

Damm what I would give just to go back and see this historic 79 point blowout victory of the True Dream Team.

Shows how good Stockton was, with his height he was able to stand out on this team. Truly an underrated PG.

I was at that game. I won tickets from KGON the local radio station. Nosebleed seats, but you could walk right down to courtside back then. I stood there watching M.J. and Bird warm up. It was surreal to see all of those legends in person. Thanks KGON.

"Bird for three"...just automatic.

It’s amazing how underrated Robinson is He was so dominant

I was there at the Rose Garden to see Team USA in the Tournament of the Americas. it was breathtaking - so much talent on the floor. the opposing team seemingly didn't mind getting clobbered by the Dream Team. they were thrilled to be on the floor with them, and posed for photo ops after the final horn sounded...

I had the VHS "Year in sports" with these in there. As a 10 year old at the time, there was nothing better. Me and my brother watched it hundreds of times.

They all put their egos aside and turned this whole thing into a smorgasbord of highlight reel assist plays. Some of these assists were legend!

None of today's players can come close to matching "The Dream Team"

Back then this was the only time the Superstars of the NBA were on the same team. Now they group together to make an all-star team and then act like spoiled little babies. My how times have changed.

Jordan, Magic, Bird... what else!

When basketball was actually fun to watch.

Barkley really played well on fastbreak.

Those guys played together so much against each other they knew everybody's moves they know where you're at Watching that was an incredible thing Jordan and magic on the floor together the 2 best point guards that ever played the game Is snow chance for anybody in the world

This is so good! I don't want to pile on the new generation, but I will anyhow. Just look at the tempo in which these guys played, and their knowledge of where to be on the court to receive a pass. Best team ever assembled. Today's game is way too slow, and guys don't take what they're given.

1:20 Jordan behind the back pass to Larry Legend🤯. Growing up something you though you would never see.

The absolute apex of Basketball 🏀!!! Thank God I was able to watch every second of it as it happened!!

best of best dream team 😍

This is the best basketball team of all time. I don't believe anyone could beat these guys.

USA's incredible plays are a thing of beauty to watch.

This is simply the best basketball team ever put on the floor, but I would have loved to see Shaq out there with them.

1:14 That Magic/Jordan/Bird sequence it's enough to bring one to tears it's so beautiful

It was so much fun watching them play. I'll never forget watching it.

I hadn't seen this in years and it's almost even better. They are true legends ...so cool, what a team!

3:09 Casually two of the best passers ever connecting for a sick highlight

bird was so good even dealing with a painful back injury and that stroke is still so smooth

Very special time. Thanks for posting!

Best team ever assembled!

Those fast breaks are just insane!!

The egos and talent involved here- the coaching was AMAZING- to get them to actually be a TEAM- it's amazing. Best basketball ever

This game must have been a nightmare for Cuba. Bird and Mullin just were not missing a shot ... At least they got pics with them.

I remember being an 8 year old boy watching this and just being in awe from how these guys played. I wanted to be them more than anything!! How nostalgic!

92 Dream Team top to bottom Hall Of Fame Legends like no other country could assemble then and present day. I remember at a friend house 1 of their neighbors watched USA VS Cuba game and was shocked by margin of victory.

Given how the game is played today, these 12 minutes watching this video was basketball HEAVEN!

The scariest thing about this team was it never mattered who was on the floor, the opponent was facing a future HoF'er (ex CL). Can you imagine an NBA team with the "second" squad and how good THAT team would be? Cheers....

The greatest show on earth by the dream team,they gave the world a prize never to be forgotten

These guys were THE AVENGERS of the NBA. Hands down.

Да, это и вправду была команда-мечта: каждый игрок - легенда + взаимодействие по команде на высшем уровне.

You could just tell it was the most fun these players ever had on a Basketball court. Especially Magic and Bird. Knowing it was the last dance for them.

Raw talent…. This was the greatest show on Earth…..

Barkley was like Wilt Chamberlain in this game. Another thing, you don’t leave Larry bird open for even a second.

The names on the backs of the U.S jerseys...holy cow! The only one missing was Isaiah Thomas!

Magic Jhonson - Larry Bird - Michael Jordan - Karl Malone - Scottie Pippen - Patrick Ewing - Clyde Drexler - John Stockton - Charles Barkley : : : !THE BEST OF THE BEST IN ALL AGES!

It's such a treat to be able to see Bird and Magic, playing together. To see all these great players from a classic NBA era working together, and having enormous fun, kind of lifts my spirits.

The herd of GOAT’s!! They will never be another

The excitement and attention this brought to the NBA and Euro league changed the game completely. Ignited international player scouting and players funneling in. Just an incredible time to remember and cherish. I love this game ❤️

I've watched the NBA since the mid-60's and have had many discussions, recent and past, on who I would put on my own dream team. I could go 15 deep easily but my starters would be Jordan, Magic, Bird, LeBron and Wilt.

Bro…Magic, Jordan, Bird…holy s@*t

@5:40 you can hear magic calling out for Larry. From fierce rivals to teammates, what a way to end their dominant careers.

I really don't see a team like this happening again- this was a once in a lifetime thing. Man alive, that roster was nasty.

If I was the other team I would not have cared if they won I just be proud to play against those legends on one team
