​@@innosantoI think that's a fair opinion. And I also think multiple factors came into play. Basketball became more global, hell my highschool recruited Drago pavlovixh I think it was and we were a small ,k-12 school in Pittsburgh where I graduated with 40 other kids, took us to states where we lost, and then later turned out he was like 24. But the game became more global for sure, the international talent became alot better because of it helping bridge the gap, and the US got complacent a bit as well I believe they were cocky and thought no one could even compete so they didn't take it as serious. The Olympics also lost some prestige in the US due to a number of bad incidents, at least ib my neighborhood and area, now granted I was a boxer. Tyson got pissed he wasn't winning the Olympic trials and fouled his way out so he didn't go in 84, 84 also has holyfield get robbed horribly, though that team was fucking amazing the most stacked us boxing team I can remember. In 88 Roy Jones Jr got robbed of his gold, in Korea to a Korean fighter with Korean judges and refs and he smoked him so bad the Korean fighter felt horrible tried to refuse the medal and held Roy's hand up after the fight to show the world who truly won, they robbed Mayweather in 96, so after that alot of us with Olympic dreams said fuck that, and I think boxing and basketball pull from similar demographics of underprivileged kids who turn to sport as a way to have something good in life and they are sports that are basically free. Yiu need shoes and a ball, I needed shoes and a mouthpiece. So maybe those athletes kobes age sqw those Olympics like I did, and also were a bit cocky so they didn't take it serious. Just my take, plus in 88 over 1000 athletes popped for steroids in the Olympics including carl lewis, and it was all brushed under the rug and called inadvertent use. So to alot of athletes the Olympic lost credibility. Plus the Soviets vs USA dynamic was over so when you don't have a good opponent to nake you better it doesn't seem to mean as much, iron sharpens iron. Plus the 96 Olympic bombing. Just alot of things that may have factored in to the US not being as good as the 92 team, and that team I mean was insane no team was ever going to top it in terms of star power and ability and thays coming from a massige kobe fan who thinks lebron is the gost.

Even Kobe although a serious player ( Lebron is not serious player ) is not consistent as those and is not game maker as those. And we are talking Bird and Magic. We are talking 3 out of top5 imo. There is no comparison

11 HOF player, there is just no way the 2012 or even any dream team after that can match them, using new rule or old rule it won't matter.

92 dream team was the greatest team ever created in any sport. Every player on that team was the best of the best.

His point is factual and valid. The 92 team had no weaknesses. Every single facet of the game was superb. Then add the fact that these were mentally hard-core assassins. A without fail mentality. They would crush them easily

The 2012 team trying to say they would beat the 92 team is like trying to argue their mother held up better than Christie Brinkley at 70; no chance.

Magic is riiight, and they will ALWAYS be the standard.... But let's be honest.... Those teams they played against were fanboys, and were just in awe to be on the court with them.... This was pre social media... Technology changed ALOT of things in regards to basketball

Bird, Magic and Jordan in there prime please! The best three to play together.

You know your squad is nasty when the opposing team is taking pictures of your team in the middle of the game

92 Dream Team didn't get tired either from blowing teams out. Barkley and Ewing alone would have a field day in the paint.

people forgetting its easy to score 3pts but once you get in to the paint theres war going on inside. if teams dissecting paint with ease it is mentally degrading.

I've got every game they played on dvd, plus the tune up games which were called the tournament of the Americas.... *Flawless Squad, No Weaknesses* Built To Seek And Destroy!!!!!

I started watching basketball in the 2010's era but damn I understand exactly what magic means... That 92 USA team was crazy on paper and on the court... Respect❤

Idk it wouldn’t be really high considering they moved the 3 point line because they couldn’t get the ball in the hoop. Don’t confuse bad offense for good defense. And no physicality ≠ good defense. Zone defense and double teams were illegal up until 2001. good try tho.

Man,92 is a monster to say at least... Robinson, malone, barkley, and jordan, still have on and on and on.. man.. this is team is cheat mode

He’s not lying on this one. That was the funnest time for me in basketball

The best team ever.

The DreamTeam if politics were not involved would have had +2 Championships making it (25) in total. More quickness range and defensive potency and would have been more fierce with adding Isiah Thomas minus John Stockton. There is only ONE DreamTeam.

Watching the original Dream Team absolutely demolish everyone they played was incredible. We were slipping and the world was catching up so it was great to remind them just who we were and we invented the damned game!

Lmfao 23 rings amongst the dream team. He excluded Stockton, Malone, Ewing, Barkley😂😂😂

No doubt Magic is right

Not one lie told by Magic in that clip

1992 Dream Team will NEVER, EVER happen again!

Magic is smoking. No one plays basketball except USA back then. The skill level of international level back in 1992 compare to 2010 are waaayyyy different

Even in 92 there was only 2 professional leagues outside USA. The first dream team there was non at all. Both teams played against amatuers and semi professional

Magic spit'n Facts!

#FACTS!!!

Correct and honest assessment by Magic 🎩 settles everything for all the 1992 Dreamers member

92 had the two greatest passing pg’s the game ever saw.

Excellent analysation

I love this. How about nobody on the dream team could keep up athletically with them. Kone amd mj camcel each other. 1 person cam shoot 3 woth bird nobody on the 93l2 dream team.is quick eboigh to stay with them. 3 is always more than 2

This is both why and how you know Magic Johnson is one of the greatest basketball players that has ever played. It shows in his basketball IQ.

Competition in 92 wasnt neeeeeaaarly as good as in 2012. Come on now.

The crazy part is Shaq should have been on that team.
