Greatest basketball team this planet will EVER see.

[THRILLHOUSEV]

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.

[TeeKJay]

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

[ap]

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.

[Kingslayer_au]

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

[BGRUBBIN]

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

[JoeKerr]

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

[saintsataniko]

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.

[bpsactclass]

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.

[ForeverForys]

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

[jammyjam]

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

[TheJackOfAllTrades]

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.

[SWEETMAN]

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

[Jeffhew]

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.

[ingwevanyarin]

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!

[robertkees]

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.

[Quinn]

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.

[HeyCupertino]

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

[jsax]

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.

[riverraisin]

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.
