30 years later and I still got excited watching the game.

Magic hook shot Birds reaction priceless. The 2 players that saved Basketball and made it really fun to watch again.

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.

33:33 Ewing threw that dude, and Barkley got up to shout "stay down". LOL the disrespect XD

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.

31 years later, unarguably the greatest Basketball team ever to play the game, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

I love Larry BIRD'S jump shot, he brings the ball all the way back to his ear and lunches a all net jump shot, his form is faultless.

Bird starting with the psychological warfare at 27:04

[phillipcdr]

Bird was a special player he made everyone else on the floor better it showed this game

These were heroes to me as a kid. 9yo when this happened and my best friends and I played ball everyday

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.

Me watching the game: "Ha! Jordan just got blocked by some random tall dude who wasn't even an NBA player."
Me, after seeing a close-up: "Oh wait... that's freaking Sabonis! Pre-NBA and in his prime! No wonder he was able to block Jordan!"

1:14:03 lol Larry taunting the ref for not getting out of the way the out of bounds before! Awesome!

[tonyturntable]

What a game! To see the American team play against Sabonis and Marčiulionis was amazing!

[purpletactics]

I was often times annoyed that the scoreboard wasn't always visible... then I realized this was Dream Team 1 and the score doesn't matter.

Can we please appreciate how well the Lithuanian team was moving the ball?
