Jordan really guarded the point guard this game after playing 36 holes of golf that same day
That exactly why I'm here
Barkley releasing some unknown mj stories still now lol
I'm here off the back of chucks story haha
Just saw Barkley’s interview telling this story. That’s why I’m here 😂
True
Watching this after hearing Barkley say MJ played 36 holes of golf before this and wanted to guard their PG because he talked about him in the papers 😂
HA! Same here!
I want to know what that PG said.
Which one is the pg player?
Me too !
@@m.m9675 Same lol
that guy is just so proud of himself
"boy it was a really good idea to Bing My Trumpet to the Game"
Everyone else: “that incestuous fellow with the trumpet”
That trumpet was so annoying...
lol
what a d-bag that guy is. "I bring my trumpet so the game can be all about me."
@@Belij19 because your life stinks😂
Noone talks about Chris Mullin, but he was unbelievable! Dude just doesn't miss!
Bird talks about him. Says he deserves to be in the conversation with Curry.
Mullin and Barkley were the most consistent in every game.
Rewatching these, underdog was Malone, holy cow.,
My Nickname for him growing up was Chris don’t Miss Mullin! 😂💯💯
Agree
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.
I get goose bumps every time I see Magic assist Bird- how awesome is that
Priceless between two friends and competitors
Too bad Larry Legend wasn't able to play his normal game anymore because of his career ending back injury. He could still stick it in the hole but his movements were slower, especially on defense. And his normally tenacious rebounding was non-existent. With a health Larry Bird these games would have been even more out of control.
Stockton and Magic playing at the same time. What an overkill.
Like the rest of their teammates weren’t overkill. 😂
Chuck wasn’t lying, MJ stuck to that dude like glue lol
Just realized that no one had tattoos back then like 90% of the players have now...
Love that observation from You!!
Birdman started a revolution
Tats, flopps, euro steps, traveling, and threes. Yay
AI brought tattoos and braids to NBA… one of a kind😊
@@Buxton051 not birdman at all what are you talking about?? You still got smilax behind your ear, Dennis Rodman and Allen Iverson started that revolution!! They walked so birdman can run!!!!! Get your facts straight!!!!!
*Does anyone else just binge watch these?*
I am this week
One overlooked fact, Scottie Pippen playing really well throughout the Olympics as 2-ways Jack of All Trades type of player.
"Overlooked" is a word Pippen is far too accustomed to. He was the best player in the NBA during Jordan's brief retirement for baseball. Few realize how good he was
@@lightbeforethetunnel he wasn't. That would be Hakeem Olajuwon.
He wasn't overlooked by those in the know. Chuck Daly called him "the best player on that team." Look it up.
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.
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...
Hay otro don que tiene una pata de palo y se viste de pirata y va a los juegos 😂
Es que los Pirates de Quebradillas son tan tradicional. Que sin ellos no huviera una liga.
Saludos a la guarida del Pirata y al parador Guajataca. Aunque ahora son los Capitanes los que ganan los campeonatos en la isla. 😄😄😄😄
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.
True
No time out too! they just play it like it's tuesday
It helps that most of them played pick up ball with each other during summer, plus 6 of them were part of the '84 Olympic Training pool 3 of which made the roster
True. In fact, watching a number of these vids, it actually strikes me how sloppily the US team played, even as they accumulated leads in factors of 10pts/minute over the opponents. It’s really ugly and aggravating basketball to watch (especially for a viewer weaned on the “beautiful game” of a real team like the current Golden State Warriors.)
The constant official whistle-stoppages of the international game don’t help either.
That is only partially true. They practiced before going and had played all star games together for some. If you watch Jordan he passes to Bird over everyone if they are on the floor together.
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.
Thanks for the heads up 😂
Greatest team ever assembled
Missing just one piece - Isaiah Thomas was kept off the team because MJ is a Giant Baby who can't handle that the Pistons actually beat his Bulls in the playoffs... the Only team to do so.
So, MJ said if Isaiah goes to the Dream Team, I won't... But no matter what he does, he will have Always lost to the Bad Boys.
U know that is just rumors... And Bird had just as much beef w them as MJ... The bad boys actually took down the Celtics.. Maybe whoever put them together knew not to go there....
Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley , that's all legend!
All team are legends except Cristian Leatner
trumpet guy is a menace
Here after hearing Charles Barkley tell a story that Jordan had gotten 3 hrs of sleep played 36 holes of golf before this game
Chuck Daly looking nice with his tie. Never called a timeout during the entire medal run.
i dont think i deserve this content for free man.. this is amazing. the plays. no commentary. one of a kind video if u are a bball fan
If you feel that bad you can send me a few bucks. I wouldn't be Offended...
Jordan was young and chock full of energy, Very well may have been the happiest time of his life.
Great video! Imagine being the guy with the seat in front of the trumpet guy.
I remember watching this game live and cracking up at the trumpet.
😂😂
That guy is actually Aleksandar, Drazen Petrovic's brother.
Look at that layUP line of HOF players. Awesome
Puerto Rico was the only team that didn't get cream like other teams against the dream team..! So we was proud for not getting slaughtered🏀
Croatia got beat by 30 so they actually did better than PR
@@melissaporter5928 ok, second best then
🇵🇷: We could’ve scored 91 points on the Dream Team if we would have not missed all those open shots.
Raymond Dalmau plan was to keep the score down and make the dream team beat us in half court offense. The problem was that PR could not put the ball 🏀 in the hoop.
Raymond Dalmau the GOAT in PR.
@@tppwttiger2244 a loss is just that, a loss.
The criteria against the dream team was "woohoo!, we didn't get slaughtered!, woohoo!"
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.
Chuck gave an interview and said that MJ played 36 holes of golf before the game and had beef against the Puerto Rico PG and that is why Mike is guarding #5
Holy nuts was this just the best team ever . Unreal , I felt almost bad for the other team.
Friendly fire too
Don't.
That '92 Puertorican basketball team was 4th in the world back then.
And almost all of the players back then were the mvps of their league.
Now unfortunately they cater to imports, but that's starting to change.
24:02 That look when you want to permanently mute that trumpet
Who is he? I'm not into basketball btw.
@@jeshkam Evander Holyfield heavyweight boxing legend.
@@scruboak17 Oh sh*t, I should have known, but I'm not into boxing either lol. Thanks. 😉
What a cakewalk for these absolute LEGENDS.
Because these countries Puerto Rico Cuba DomRepulic do not care or like basketball! These countries play baseball! I want to see USA versus Cuba or USA versus Puerto Roco or USA versus DonRepulic baseball match!!
this team was beyond loaded bruh that pic of the line up had me 💀
The Puerto Rico's coach looks like Benny Blanco from the Bronx LOL
so nobody gonna talk about pippen's haircut?...lol
Mullin was the snipper they needed 🎯
Even the crowd was legendary with Holyfield in attendance.
That trumpet player turned this dream into a nightmare.
Awesome game. Awesome places. 🇺🇸🤍💙❤️🇵🇷
rip my fellow puerto ricans who played this legendary team in 1992
How many of them are passed away? Life is short
@@michaelbme1983 just one...#5 Fico Lopez.
They did well.....
the only way America can win gold is always by bringing in its best playerswe are tied because Puerto Rico humiliated the United States and eliminated it in 2004
"The only way America will win is by bringing it's best players" is the most idiotic thing ever. Why wouldn't you bring your best players? So the only way Puerto Rico won was because we didn't bring our best players, and this knucklehead thinks it is humiliation an actual overall tie. When we send a mediocre team so you can not lose, it is not you winning. It is a gift. A handout.
1:03:08 There will never be another Bird or Magic, Malone, not so much.
🥉🥈🥇🇵🇷🙋♂️👋🏀¡ Y 29 AÑOS DESPUÉS TODAVÍA VEO CON NOSTALGIA ESTE JUEGO¡! TREMENDO SHOW EL DEL DREAM TEAM🇺🇸, Y MI 🇵🇷, TRATÓ Y TRATÓ, PERO¡! JUGAMOS CON ORGULLO ¡!🙋♂️👋🏀🇺🇸🇵🇷🥈🥇🥇🥈🤲
PR lucio Estelar!🇵🇷🇺🇸
USA estaba dolido.por PR le ganó en lo anterior. Y tuvieron que hacer un trabuco de los estrellas para ganar.
PR le salió más hueso duro de roer que los demás equipos.
Piculín , Gerome , Casiano 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Top USA stats vs. Puerto Rico:
Mullin 21 pts
Robinson 14 pts, 7 reb, 2 blk
Johnson 13 pts, 7 ast
Pippen 12 pts, 8 ast
Malone 12 pts, 4 reb
Laettner 11 pts, 8 reb, 3 blk
Ask Pippen and Patrick who gave them those nice fade hair cuts while in Barcelona.....the guys from the PR Team. There's pics and tons of stories.
Dam Chuck wasn’t lying. Mike did guard the point after 36 holes of golf
Yeah, but it affected his offense. Jordan went only 1 for 9 in this game.
Jordan, Bird & Johnson VS Ortiz, Morales & Casiano
Does anyone else just binge watch these?
@@premeplug6550 I have been lately
Magic is simply magic
Here because Chuck said MJ wanted to defend the PG and locked him down. Seeing is believing
@SQUADawkins brought me here.
..focus on MJ and the point guard that trashed talked him I the newspaper during that time
@8:46 MJ already lurking🤦🏾♂️😂
Pippen seemed like such a tough player for the other teams... He's a quick as PR point guard but about as tall as their center.... And a great defender
Almost every team looked like amateurs playing against the Dream Team.Imaging playing against Jordan wearing Jordan's tennis shoes.
Guy in front of the trumpet player, trying to keep a smile on his face.
Where's Carlos Arroyo when you need him..lol
Wow, memories. I was just a 20 some year old grad school student watching this w/ my friends back then. Good times.
Pippen’s barber was immediately fired after the game. 50:30
Pause on 18:17 so you can see how much Jordan could elevate when making jump shots. It's just insane!
Wow, he missed
First time i betrayed Puerto Rico 😂, i was 12 years old jordan superfan but the next olimpics i support Puerto Rico again,, i didnt care about kobe or lebro 😂 ,.(Primera vez que traiciono al equipo de Puerto Rico porque yo era super fan de jordan ,en las otras olimpiadas volvi aapollar a Puerto Rico
Rice and beans
@@jasonarias6226 stfup
the best starting five in history.
Lets hear it for the trumpet guy.
Someone crush that trumpet
El arte y el deporte no están peleados. Sus fieles amigos La trompeta y el balón. José A. S
I am Dominican: Latinos own baseball and you from USA own basketball 😜💪🏾
We own Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Boxing we also own Puerto Rico 😮
Dude playing the CHARGE! melody on his trumpet when Puerto Rico is down by 40 with a minute to play.....that is undying optimism....
Larry Bird looked like he was in his 50s :-D
His back was was messed up something serious
@@lawrencesmith5661 indeed... But I talked about his face :-)
@@NeoViny lol ok ✌he was pushing in that direction
@@lawrencesmith5661 He was only 35 lol.
How many autographs did poor Evander have to sign? More than a thousand? I would have just started refusing.
David Robinson was a butterfingers the whole run practically.
How did the trumpet player not make it into the dream team documentary?
They don't care about Puerto Ricans
This is the best team ever
Its been called the best team ever assembled in any sport ever, and I tend to agree
@@caesar_19 maybe if shaq an isiah thomas made the team they would have been even better
@@jaybrick8973 Isiah of course. Shaq was 1992 at college!
@@SohnvonKlaus The '92 Dream Team wanted someone to represent from college basketball, so they chose Christian Laettner over Shaq. Knowing how good Shaq was as soon as he entered the league, choosing him then would've definitely made this team more stacked.
It's not the best team, this was the first time NBA players were allowed to play in the Olympics, so of course they will dominate all the teams. Since then basketball world got a lot better internationally, so they will not dominate like the first time. Plus not all the time the best NBA players have represent the 🇺🇸 on that same year. I think they underestimate the world and paid for it.
This feels like play NBA2k My Team with My Team full of Dark Matters and the other Team golds and sapphires 😂
That was the best Puerto Rican team in the history of our small island being destroyed by this legendary team.
I hear magic calling “blue.”
Michael going rover😂😂
He called "2" meaning 2 for the 2 guard
Unfortunately the audience around the trumpet guy didn't take it and smash it.
Keep this uploads up olympic channel.
All they can say is, they where fortunate to play in the same court with Jordan and see him play haha
USA had a monster squad
I’d love to see this dream team play against current foreign teams. They’d still win but might be more competitive
It would definitely be more competitive because the world is slowly approaching the US when it comes to basketball skills. The biggest difference is a lot of these foreign teams practice together all year round leading up to the Olympics whereas the NBA players don't practice together until about a week prior to the Olympics so there is no chemistry Like the foreign teams have. Which is a big deal.
@@tommyhallum2054 no it would not
If they played in today's league, it definitely wouldn't be competitive. The league is soft compared to back then. Jordan and Bird would dominate LeBron and everyone else in today's game.
Highly doubt it…US got too much length and starpower throughout the team
Who's here after Barkley's Dan Patrick interview?
Chris Mullins 21 points in 22 minutes. Jordan 4 points in 22 minutes. Maybe Jordan shouldn't have played all that golf that day.
Listen to Karl at 52:52
24:45 Spike Lee ?🤔
That was sweet pea!? One of my favorite boxers of all time ! Wow
"TIMEOUT FOR THE PUERTO RICAN 🇵🇷 TEAM"(Lady Announcer bc they needed it!)😂😂😂😂
Substitute Malone…
Brings in Chuck..😂😂😂😂
The Dream Team is the definition of two way players.
I know what Puerto Rico must have been thinking when they saw the Dream Team. 6'9 and that's the point guard?
Trumpet man's the real MVP
Profesionales Solamente
am i the only one that what's the guy with the horn to go away????
Awesome!
MJ just totally ice cold lol
1992 dream team was the best team ever put together.
Portorico manager's face is one of the most hopeless in the history of all sports ....
Came here after hearing Barkley’s story about micheal Jordan and members of the dream team playing golf the day of this game.
I am Puerto Rican and i knew this team was going to kick the team a$s do you see team USA had mj Ewing magic and bird all of them are legends
If you are here after seeing Charles Barkley interview..., we r the same!💪
Fun Barkleyclip at 20:03 😂
Jordan playing full court press on the PG lol
Seemed like the whole team was cold except for Mullin and Pippen. Magic had a short streak. If they had gotten a lot of those easy baskets they would have had 130 or more.
Soooo what you are saying is, if you get past Magic, MJ or any of the other guys.... you run into Patrick Ewing! That's just unfair!
Wow, what a mismatch...I mean C'mon, the best NBA vs a small island of basketball players that don't compete against anyone but themselves....Glad to see the sportsmanship, pics, at the end...I bet the Puerto Rican players were just happy to play against the games greatest.
Did you know that Puerto Rico beat the US by 19 (92-73) in the first game of the 2004 Olympics in Athens. It was the most lopsided victory against the US team in Olympic history. That US team had LeBron, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, etc, etc.
Great point but the one thing that these smaller countries have that the US team doesn't have is chemistry these guys have never played with each other up until about a week prior to the Olympics and chemistry can beat skill more often than not. It is possible.
@@airassault11 we aren't watching that team though
And what about in 2004?
Dalmau espero demasiado para meter a Casiano
watching larry running with 'his back', i feel like it's like hurting myself
