Jordan really guarded the point guard this game after playing 36 holes of golf that same day

[adrian]

I get goose bumps every time I see Magic assist Bird- how awesome is that

[SlickEnz]

Noone talks about Chris Mullin, but he was unbelievable! Dude just doesn't miss!

[mmmtsp]

that guy is just so proud of himself
"boy it was a really good idea to Bing My Trumpet to the Game"

[stardetailingllc]

I love how Magic was obviously getting Larry his shots, because he knew he wouldn’t get many minutes after his start due to the bad back. Magic was different.

Just a glimpse of how incredible this team was, look at 32:45. The jump ball on PR's end doesn't touch the floor. Drexler to Barkley to Pippen to Mullin for the finish. Amazing.

Chuck wasn’t lying, MJ stuck to that dude like glue lol

[richonfen]

Stockton and Magic playing at the same time. What an overkill.

[manchesterunitedno]

One overlooked fact, Scottie Pippen playing really well throughout the Olympics as 2-ways Jack of All Trades type of player.

Don René, el trompetista de guajataca, él fanático #1 de los Piratas de Quebradillas en el BSN, apoyando al equipo nacional de Puerto Rico con su trompeta...

For anyone here after the Barkley story about Jordan guarding the PG. Yes, he does indeed guard him the entire game and yes, the trumpet player goes on the entire game.

Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, that's all legend!

[lightbeforethetunnel]

To make the Dream Team even more amazing, think about this: They're playing against national teams that are used to playing together. The Dream Team is basically a pick-up team. They're legendary players but they've never played together as a team before. They have no game plan, no team chemistry, etc... Experience playing together is an extremely huge factor in basketball.

Thank you SOOO much for posting these! It really takes me back to this time! I remember everything but ot was tough to see all the games back then.

*Does anyone else just binge watch these?*

[Cccc-kyvq]

Here after hearing Charles Barkley tell a story that Jordan had gotten 3 hrs of sleep played 36 holes of golf before this game

[xevious]

Jordan was young and chock full of energy, Very well may have been the happiest time of his life.

[MinhNguyen-jvlb]

Just realized that no one had tattoos back then like 90% of the players have now...

Chuck Daly looking nice with his tie. Never called a timeout during the entire medal run.
