“Lebron is 30, this fuckery won’t go on for much longer, thank God”

the fact that the ‘92 dream team had to play against 8 international nba players and the ‘24 team has to play against 61 nba players is crazy

The fact that some people say most of the international players in 24’ were role players doesn’t make sense because basically every single international player was a role player in 92’. The competition is ten times harder today

USA just won by 24 points against Serbia and Jokic yesterday. I think they still got it, and the fact KD went for 100% from and 2 AND 3 the whole game was crazy.

Edit: Another near 20 point blowout (17 point differential) against south sudan yesterday, the same team that they were close with during the exhibition matches. Personally I think the team during the exhibitions were just finding their footing and building chemistry.

Edit 2: Yeah, so far this team won almost all of their matches by 20+ point, all they need now is to just win the gold medal and every negative narrative against them will be broken.

Edit 3: Final edit I'll be doing before the finals, I watched the Serbia vs USA game yesterday and while it was insane. I have to give Jokic and em' some credit, but all the props to Wardell Stephen Curry! He was shooting the lights out in the building that game it was actually insane.

The 92 team was like if they sent FBI agents to catch a guy stealing canned beans at the local market

1992 - High Talent vs Low Talent
2024 - High Talent vs Mid/High Talent

Both have High Talent but the competition has changed.

The exact same thing has happened in hockey. Canada might be able to field the best roster on paper still, but they aren't nearly as dominant or lopsided as they were back in Gretzky's time

2016 could've been one of the best USA teams ever. LeBron, Curry, KD, Kawhi, Harden, Kyrie, Dame, Klay, Dray, AD, Boogie, Westbrook all in their primes.

My analogy on this - the 1992 Team USA were like an NBA team playing against middle school teams, 1996 played against high schoolers, , 2008 played against college teams, 2012 played against D-Leaguers, and the 2024 team played against other NBA teams which is their peers. It's been three decades, of course the rest of the world would catch up to US talent.

The ‘92 dream team played against nobodies. ‘24 USA team is playing against some of the best foreign talents the world has ever seen. The gap in talent is a lot closer than it ever has been and yet team USA just won the gold medal. This is the best team because of what they’ve had to overcome and what they’ve achieved. We are done with the 90’s.

After seeing Wemby in tears after what Curry did, I'm afraid of what kinda beast this '24 team unlocked...

As basketball fans we NEED to also acknowledge other international teams have really improved over the decades and offer more of a challenge to the USA

Edited for the low iQ people: No one said the USA hasn’t improved too or that they’re worse players or that they don’t have the best players, the comment SIMPLY stats the competition has gotten much better compared to the 90s, which was also the conclusion of the video, you don’t know much about basketball if you think the USA should be consistently winning by 40 points 😂

What you are seeing is the YouTube effect. I am from Sweden and grew up playing basketball. I am born 1991. When I grew up it was hard to find good clips and drills to practice. A Ganon Baker DVD was the best source to basketball drills and Yinka Dare video highlights of some players. When I play Swedish 16-18 year old I am honestly surprised by how much better and drilled they are compared to when I grew up. Today, a youth coach can easily get coaching drills from NBA skill coaches and implement it into their training and Sweden has produced two players that were drafted in this years NBA draft. It is a crazy evolution. Players Swedish youth players are busting out moves that I only saw done in mixtapes of US youth players whilst dunking and being athletic freaks. During my time, teams weren’t as athletic.

the old heads just don’t understand that the rest of the world is catching up not that 92 was better

Remember when someone said that this tomfoolery (referring to Lebron dominating the NBA) won't go on much longer during the 2015 NBA playoffs?

Surprised you glossed over a tell in the 92 Gold Medal game. The Dream Team's closest score was 30 points against 7 NBA players. Mind you, those guys weren't on their level, and most, not all, most were middling NBA players, but that was an indicator of what the future held. After 1992, the level of international play and skilled players grew rapidly. Many of the gifted kids who dreamed of playing football (soccer), suddenly found themselves inspired by the Dream Team, not to mention scouts keying in on guys already on the scene like Peja, Dirk, Ilgauskaus and such. Those Olympics altered the landscape of not just NBA basketball, but global hoops to the point where taking a foreign player, especially number one, is no longer considered a risk or project.

The globalization of the NBA will mean we constantly have better and better competition. I love it. Everyone wins. Fans get closer games (the South Sudan game was great), players get better and better, and owners (probably) make more money.
