There has never been a player like Larry Bird. He does everything at the highest level ever and he is only one player, older and hurt. He iwas the magicman.

I was blessed to be alive during that time and was young enough to enjoy a game like this. It was truly the dream team, these guys play with a sense of synchrony. This is no doubt the Best Olympic of all times. I don't think we will ever see another setup like this one.

The 1992 Dream Team was historic. You had Magic, Bird and Jordan on one team, three generations of all time great players. And those playesr came up when basketball was a much more physical and intense game. Some of the players today are great, like Durant who is a lethal player in international competition, but it is not the same thing. They just don't have the same pedigree.

Fascinating to watch this 30+ years later, as an adult, noticing things that never registered back when I was watching it as kid. Like the extent to which Sabonis or Kurtinaitis just could not buy a bucket.
