That Barkley to Pippen awkward alley oop was hilarious and they both found it funny too.

Watching these Dream Team games is a great reminder of what a great player Chris Mullin was. He was big, strong, and quick for his position. He had a great outside shot. He was tenacious on defense, constantly working through and around screens and breaking up plays. Oh yeah, also a strong passer and few TOs.

All of the dream team players can run it up the floor, hit the outside shots, amazing drives, and perfect passing. Amazing to watch

Spain was playing EXCELLENT basketball and still got beat so badly. That puts into perspective how legendary the Dream Team was.

[shinobi]

I love the spirit of the Spanish team they started very confident!

Human beings being able to survive without cell phones. Beautiful times.

Look at all of those Iconic and amazing Legends and Christian Leattner

Watching this in 2022, just realized that how much the game has changed, like the strategy, gameplay, tactics, the pace, and many other things

[MerkinMuffly]

The lineup with Bird, Barkley and Pippen was deadly

That moment you think John Stockton looks like he's really short, but then you remember that he's actually 6'1"...

So grateful for these games. Thank you @olympic

BIRD running the show with Pippen and Barkley was the top. Bird, despite his limited involvement due to injuries, was still the best, by far!

[rekdinhopoetico]

Brazilian coach said that it was like playing against 12 Pelé's. I saw (on TV) every Dream Team match in 92 :)

[JBBGeek]

1:15:20 is so good. Clyde hits a three, then the U.S. gets a defensive stop that results in Bird throwing a baseball pass to Barkley which turns into an alley-pop to Pippen. Greatest team in the history of sports, period.

You realize sitting on the bench at the start of this game was Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexeler, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen and Patrick Ewing? That is one helluva bench

[michaelrobinstonemorales]

despite having bad back, age n injury you can tell he was the best player in this game! can you imagine a prime bird playing! no wonder he is considered a legend!

[semihdeveli]

Jordan, Bird, Barkley, Pippen, Ewing. This was the best 5 during the game
