      This used car salesman definitely has more motivation behind his antics than just being contrarian. At this point it's pretty obvious his show is effectively produced by Klutch and he just comes in to read whatever is put in front of him.
      If I could delete one person from basketball media he'd be one of the first names on the list.

      This guys don't know anything anyways. I've heard on multiple shows now that the '88 Olympics loss lead to the Dream Team in '92. When before pros simply weren't allowed in the Olympics. The most Olympics and World Cups(pros allowed) in the 70's and 80's went to the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and no Dream Team ever. The simple fact that the Olympics started allowing pros in '92 led to the Dream Team, otherwise they would have gone to the '90 World Cup after losing in '88 or one of the others from '70 to '90 when they kept losing to the Soviets and Yugoslavians. Only Jordan, Ewing and Mullin of the later Dream Team went in '84 and they already won Gold. In '86 it was only Robinson and they won Gold. Let's see LeBronze Blames go with a bunch of college players and win, he couldn't even win in '04 with all NBA players around him.

      This is a classic example of how power works. Let's call it the "triangle." I'll use the tenants versus the landlord relationship as an analogy. The lord of the land, so to speak, feels that his title allows him to do whatever he pleases regardless of the tenant's wishes, if he can get away with it.
      The tenants, in this case, Jordan and Scottie, understand that Krause uses his ownership-like influence, like the "lord of the land" which could be arbitrary. Krause also has the added advantage of not worrying about his teammates' opinions. He has no one to answer to in this triangle equation. Donald Trump wants to operate similarly if re-elected President.
      As Krause has exercised his power and authority to hire Kukoc Jordan, Pippen must thwart Krause's favoritism of Kukoc in their interest and have more decision-making power on the floor.
      Why most people do see that Jordan and Pippen, for team cohesion and effectiveness, must challenge Krause's option of "meddling" the two sides have different interests. The same applies to the landlord compared to tenants. Kukoc had yet to discover what was in his best interest, his teammates, or the general manager. All Jordan and Scottie were doing was trying to show a new arrival teammate about his teammates on the Bulls.
      African Americans and some others aside, although Americans are not considered immigrants. Immigrants are directed to appreciate America, not criticize it, no matter what. Even though Americans are capable of understanding some basic facts of why the rent keeps going up they dare not speak up lest they anger their benefactors.

    Overlooked aspect about the 1992 Dream Team = These guys actually really enjoyed playing with each other. People who point out that Isiah, Shaq, and Nique should have been on the team = those guys would have all ruined the Dream Team's chemistry. Of course they would still be dominate, but those 50 point wins would have been "only" 25-30.
    So they weren't just exciting to watch because they were handily winning every game by gaudy point margins, the Dream Team was fun to watch because we could tell they were having so much fun playing.

    0:12 This dude looks for any excuse to discuss Michael Jordan. You know that Michael Jordan is easily the greatest and best basketball player of ALL-TIME because now in 2024, 21 years after his retirement in 2003, we are still having very deep discussions and very serious meticulous conversations about Michael Jordan’s near-perfect career in Chicago. Even that Nick Wright dude and Shannon Sharpe spend much more time in their respective lives talking, discussing, conversing, arguing, and debating about Michael Jordan’s near-perfect career in Chicago than they spend time talking about their favorite player’s career - LeBron James. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is on the Mount Rushmore of American professional sports, so Michael Jordan is VERY EASILY the greatest and best basketball player in human history. In fact calling Michael Jordan the GOAT of professional basketball is honestly a gross understatement at this point. Michael Jordan has been the undisputed GOAT of the NBA since 1988 (for 36 years and counting) and all GOAT debates have been far beneath Michael Jeffrey Jordan since 1998 (for 26 years and counting).

    International competition wasn’t bums at all back then. Quite the opposite. Up until 1992 the pros weren't allowed in the Olympics, only amateurs. In the World Cup, where the pros were allowed, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia kept winning, that's why the Dream Team was such a surprise to the whole world, especially because they beat everyone easily. The USA didn't have a strangle hold on Basketball, the Soviets and Yugoslavians were better. The US only kept winning the Olympics because of their collegiate system, the other countries' best players were already pros at that age, while the US college players would compete as amateurs, giving the US an unfair advantage in the Olympics and the Russians and Yugoslavia started winning there as well, while winning most of the World Cups(Pro Events) already.

Without having accomplished anything whatsoever, People are trying to compare this team to a team that had great chemistry and was completely unstoppable. They were put together so well with magic, bird and MJ and the supporting cast was just amazing. This team hasn’t shown that it has any chemistry yet. They were almost embarrassed in a scrimmage.

    If Bird was “cooked” with 20/10/7 in 1991-1992, what will Bronny be with 6/5/4 or whatever trash he puts up this rookie year? Can’t wait to hear Nick make excuses for that but shit on the great numbers Larry was putting up.

    Just a friendly reminder than Nick Wright and Broussard are Klutch clients. That should be announced every single time they're about to talk about LeBron, MJ, Kobe, or anyone else in terms of their greatness.

    Everything about current media is to constantly shit on the past.
    Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, international football, pro wrestling... they all do the same.
    Even though back then, athletes got more respect compared to current ones.

    The more these Klutch puppets spin Lebron’s legacy, the more they undermine it…more and more fans now questioning if LeBalco is even top 5, let alone second, all time 😮

    Both this dude and Shannon Sharpe prove that you can successfully hang around being a media figure by being controversial no matter how much of an idiot you are, be it planned or inadvertent. Kendrick Perkins as well, but he just doesn't know any better.

    I believe 92 is when the NBA was tired if having the "best" players, but college players were not medaling. Thus, the Dream Team formed. No one was going to that team unless winning was in their mind. They delivered.
    In 2024, there is no guarantee of anything. Foreign players are more in the NBA. Thus, the Olympics are anyone's game.
    Sadly, I feel Team USA believes they show up and get a gold medal.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the USA doesn't get gold with that roster compared to how much other countries have improved.
