Reminder: "The Dream Team" premiers tonight at 9:00pm

[t-rex]

I just wanted to remind everyone that the "Dream Team" documenting the 1992 legendary basketball olympic team will be on NBA TV tonight at 9pm. It will run from 9pm to 10:30pm. The documentary will then immediately repeat on NBA TV from 10:30pm to midnight.

For NBA fans, this is must watch TV. The promos look real good. I think it could be the first NBA program I have seen to have an NFL Films level of production and story telling. I can't wait. It's a perfect fit in between Game 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals.

Recording it! :cheers: Hopefully they make a bluray or dvd available so I can purchase that as well. I don't own or have any of the games. I can only find the games available on VHS. I have a VCR, but I'd rather have them on disc.

I don't have NBA TV. Are they going to have it up on youtube after it is finished airing?

Could you post a summary of the documentary after it is finished, especially the parts on Michael Jordan?

[ConanRulesNBC]

Will this be on ESPN at all or just NBA TV? My cable company doesn't even carry NBA TV anymore for some reason... :banghead:

I may not be able to do a summary tonight. But I am recording it. And can definitely have a summary tomorrow morning.

I am most interested in what they have to say about Isiah Thomas. As someone on this forum who is older, and can remember the "Dream Team" like it was this morning, the Isiah Thomas controversy was a big deal. I can't wait to hear what Jordan, Pippen, Bird, Malone and even Stockton have to say about it.

Its funny how on this board, everyone thinks D-Wilkins was robbed too. In retrospect he was. But at the time, that didn't have nearly the buzz, the Thomas situation had.

[swi7ch]

Thanks, I totally forgot! :bowdown:

Will DVR this one and show it to my future kids...

[swi7ch]

I don't own or have any of the games.

iOffer has every game for around ~$6 each. Outstanding quality, too.

[blacknapalm]

already getting into isiah thomas...yesss. lol @ barkley calling the bad boys a-holes

people complain about guys not shaking hands after games today? most of the detroit bench bolted and walked out in front of chicago's bench with 7.9 seconds left :lol

[Tenchi Ryu]

I wonder if we'll ever see something like that again, where players OPENLY state they don't want to play with a certain player during the Olympics.

[SAKOTXA]

MJ's face when Pistons walked off the court. :coleman:

Isiah didn't give a shit. Lol he tried to fight everybody

Isiah didn't give a shit. Lol he tried to fight everybody
Cartwright whipped that @ss, though.

[blacknapalm]

Isiah didn't give a shit. Lol he tried to fight everybody

true. it was a different mindset. thomas and stockton are two of the dirtiest PG's ever. thomas would routinely bark out orders and unleash the 'goonies'

[juju151111]

MJ's face when Pistons walked off the court. :coleman:
He stayed and shook hands every time he loss. He wasn't a bitch like.

:applause:

LOL @ Karl Malone

"Everyone felt they was the shit"

Well, they kinda all was the shit
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[KG215]

I love Barkley's quote: "Everybody in the world has an ego, but we all have a reason to have one."

[DonDadda59]

Damn, that select team had some ballers on it. I spotted C-Webb, Grant Hill, Jamal Mashburn.

[KG215]

Coach K putting to rest the whole the select team beat the '92 Dream Team myth, saying Daly threw the game. Still, they did technically beat them, but I guess I can see what coach K was getting at.

[sportsfan76]

This documentary strengthens my HATE for Michael Jordan

[blacknapalm]

wow, coach daly planted that seed like a boss

[Shepseskaf]

The game footage sucks.

[juju151111]

Lol He had to bench Mj so those kids could win. No way Mj would of went out like that. He doesn't even let his own kids beat him

[sportsfan76]

wonder why Bobby hurley never made the NBA? He was the sh^T in college

[blacknapalm]

The game footage sucks.

as in quality? it was 1992, they didn't exactly have HD back then

[Noyze]

Chuck Daly was smart, throwing the first game against the Select team (a game that meant nothing) to get The Dream Team's egos in check.

"Anyone can get beat" - Chuck

[DonDadda59]

wonder why Bobby hurley never made the NBA? He was the sh^T in college

Just one of those guys who shine at the college level but for whatever reason their game just doesn't translate to the NBA style of play.

[Noyze]

wonder why Bobby hurley never made the NBA? He was the sh^T in college

He got in a car accident or fell off a horse or something and seriously hurt himself. He would have grown into a dominant point guard imo, Nash like play.

[dunksby]

**** you guys my NBA TV is showing Heat vs Mavs GM4 :mad:

[Tenchi Ryu]

LOL MJ and Magic fighting over top dog spot....would have love to see that in person.

[GOBB]

Never be another Dream Team. These guys didnt want to play on each others team in PRACTICE. Yet these pansies today want to play together and join forces like chumps? :no:

[04mzwach]

Players use to be, "This is my team!" Now they're like "This my team, that's my team, now this one."

This. Thoe guys were fighting to be on the opposite team of other guys in a freaking Dream Team scrimmage to prove who's better, and in today's NBA everyone is trying to form "Super Teams".

[swi7ch]

Never be another Dream Team. These guys didnt want to play on each others team in PRACTICE. Yet these pansies today want to play together and join forces like chumps? :no:

That's how you know this is a pu$$y era. Jordan would have made everybody cry today.

46-1 run and up 66-14 at halftime on Angola. Barkley with the dirty elbow in a 116-48 blowout over the poor Angolans.

[Noyze]

46 to 1 run against Angola lol.

Poor Kukoc. Had the two best defenders in the world pissed off at him. He didn't stand a chance.

Pip was harrassing Toni full court when he didn't even have the ball. Must've been real awkward when he showed up for his first day on the Bulls :oldlol:

EDIT: funny how we're all reminiscing here

[dajadeed]

That MJ/Pip thing is sort of like Kobe on Barbosa in the Olympics. He shut him down and Barbosa was like "He doesn't play defense like this in the NBA." :oldlol:

[Shepseskaf]

Damn. FirstRowSports just crapped out on me.

[Tenchi Ryu]

Makes perfect sense.....

Barkley is easily one of the greatest NBA Superstar overall people person of all time. You can pretty much stick him in any environment and he'll find a way to adapt.

[KG215]

Stockton just gets off the bus and walks down the street and no one even recognizes him.

[blacknapalm]

nobody noticing stockton. :lol i've seen this footage

[Tenchi Ryu]

Stockton just gets off the bus and walks down the street and no one even recognizes him.
To be fair, make this 1998 and it would probably be a lot different lol.

[DonDadda59]

Stockton just gets off the bus and walks down the street and no one even recognizes him.

Looks like an average white dude on vacation in Spain :oldlol:

Honestly, I'd rather have that and be able to walk down a street without anyone hassling me than having thousands of people shadowing me wherever I went. That must get really old and annoying after a while.

[KG215]

To be fair, make this 1998 and it would probably be a lot different lol.

Probably so, but it still wouldn't be the same for him since he's just a 6'1" white guy. Definitely can blend into the crowd a lot easier.

[KG215]

Love that shot of Jordan looking up and seeing a huge ass picture of him on the side of a building.

[sportsfan76]

this documentary seemed to focus a lot on jordan which means it was a waste of my f*cking eyesight

[westsideozzie]

Michael Jordan look like he been drinking a little too much hennessy lately,

Charles Barkley makes a interesting question....

If you can't win a championship ring, does a Gold medal make a decent substitute?

[Noyze]

Wow, that was great.

[swi7ch]

Charles Barkley makes a interesting question....

If you can't win a championship ring, does a Gold medal make a decent substitute?

No.

Laettner won a gold medal because he was carried by 11 other Hall of Famers. To win a title, you have to do the carrying yourself.

[Rose]

So uh....where's the download link at guys!?!?!?!?:lol

[blacknapalm]

damn, malone is still ripped as hell

good documentary overall. my only gripe was that i wished there was more practice footage

[StateOfMind12]

This documentary was alright but not as good as I thought at least based on the million commercials I saw about this documentary.

I thought there would have been more footage on the Monte Carlo scrimmage which is what I was most looking forward to watching.

[cranincu]

Laettner is in his room killing himself with this on repeat

[DonDadda59]

No.

Laettner won a gold medal because he was carried by 11 other Hall of Famers. To win a title, you have to do the carrying yourself.

If I'm not mistaken, Sir Charles was the leading scorer on the team (off the top of my head, could be wrong). Wasn't like he was 'carried' to his medal, he did some heavy lifting there.

[dajadeed]

No.

Laettner won a gold medal because he was carried by 11 other Hall of Famers. To win a title, you have to do the carrying yourself.

That's the simple answer, and I see where you're coming from. On an NBA forum it doesn't carry the same weight, but an Olympic gold medal is still a very rare achievement in sports. Not many people have them. It's a great honor, no matter how stacked the team is relative to the competition.

[blacknapalm]

Charles Barkley makes a interesting question....

If you can't win a championship ring, does a Gold medal make a decent substitute?

definitely not today. ask any nba player that question today and 95% would say they'd rather have a title...at least if you ask all-stars.

[dajadeed]

2 thumbs up and hopefully these new heat fans watched this and learn about the history of the NBA before LeBron joined the heat.. def brought back some memories when I was a shorty :cheers:

[15yearmagicfan]

Wow, its great to see some of the video never seen before but..........

I think 30 for 30 would have been a MUCH better job at the presentation of the players and team dynamic and component that was there. I was really expecting something better then this and although it was a lot of fun, I thought it could have been better. MUCH better. I'm sure I'm in the minority though :D

[iDunk]

Is it going to be uploaded on Youtube sometime or anywhere else I could watch it?

Chuck Daly is probably the most underrated coach ever. He should be mentioned with the all time greats, but rarely ever is.

[L.Kizzle]

Too much Jordan, not enough Mullin.

[3zazer1]

Chuck Daly is probably the most underrated coach ever. He should be mentioned with the all time greats, but rarely ever is.

Yeah, R.I.P to him too. How he brought that team together with all that star power and those clashing egos is simply amazing. If only Erik Spoelstra could learn how to do that............

[Nevaeh]

Charles Barkley makes a interesting question....

If you can't win a championship ring, does a Gold medal make a decent substitute?

Not when teams like OKC are considered "Stacked", because everyone on it basically knows how to play team ball on a consistent basis. Now, the Dream Team, that is what you would call a stacked team.

Bird talking about Webber from that scrimmage stood out to me a lot. "If this guy's comin in I gotta get out." Webber was so incredibly talented, he really does get overlooked. Another in the long list of "**** injuries" guys.

[IGotACoolStory]

Jordan, Pippen, Mullin, Barkley and Robinson vs. Magic, Stockton, Malone, Drexler and Ewing.

Watching this shit now. That scrimmage is bad ass.

[ClutchOver9000]

I sure hope so!

Rewatching it again....what just amazes me is that you hear so much about Magic and Larry's friendship, it can really go past your head on the dynamic MJ and Magic had, specifically how it was a legit passing of the torch. I like how MJ wanted to take it, but Magic didn't just give it to him, made him earn it.

1970's West Germany's national team was pretty dominant. Beckenbauer, Muller, Overath, Grabowski, etc...

Also the 2002 Brazilian national team had a lot of talent. Rivaldo, Ronaldo in his prime, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, young Ronaldinho, Ricardhino, Edmilson, Denilson, Lucio, Juninho, etc...

Here is Robert Parish taking out Bill Laimbeer.

No foul was called. (A part of me wants to think the officials purposely turned the other way and let the players police the game themselves.)

Not sure about best players in the world, but there have been instances in both Soccer and Cricket where teams were assembled to represent a country that were so good that they were labeled the "Invincibles". I know the cricket team was Australian with a bunch of legends in their prime, not sure about soccer.

[Sarcastic]

You guys are really selling Laettner short. At the time he was the most accomplished college player available. 2 time champion. College player of the year. He had a much better resume than Alonzo Mourning. And as I have said in previously, politics played a large role. The older guys did not want a young Shaq to come in and take the spot light away from Magic, Bird, and Jordan. It wasn't about putting together the best possible team. It was about putting together the right team.

At the end of the documentary, they showed what happened after the 92 Olympics and they showed MJ winning all those 6 titles and then eventually, Drexler and Robinson won one, too. It got me thinking because Clyde won when Jordan was out of the NBA and Robinson won when Jordan and the Bulls were gone.

Then they showed Barkley not winning a title but if you think about it, almost all of those other guys who did not win a title (Ewing, Stockton, Malone, etc.) didn't win because of one guy---Jordan.

Just makes me appreciate Jordan even more. :bowdown:

Do you think that was actually Magic's house they showed when he walked out onto the second floor balcony! Impressive.

huh?....those guys played 20 years....

what happened the other 14 seasons??

many great teams beat Stockton , Malone , Barkley etc...

if you even watched basketball during the 80's and 90's you would understand..

Pip was harrassing Toni full court when he didn't even have the ball. Must've been real awkward when he showed up for his first day on the Bulls :oldlol:


There is a backstory on that. Pippen was on a long term contract and was very underpaid relative to his production. He wanted a new deal but Krause wouldn't renegotiate and it was believed he wanted to save cap space to sign Kukoc.

Krause was very open about his interest in Kukoc and it was a sore spot for Pippen. Toni was reluctant to sign with the Bulls because he believed Jordan/Pippen didn't want him there and he had good reason to believe that.

Those other 14 seasons they did not reach the Finals or the playoffs. But when they did reached the Finals or the playoffs and Jordan was still playing, they were stopped by Jordan.

[tontoz]

He got in a car accident or fell off a horse or something and seriously hurt himself. He would have grown into a dominant point guard imo, Nash like play.


That car accident was very serious and he was lucky just to live.

[lakers_forever]

that was so awesome. i never get patriotic about ANYTHING but that shit made me love my country lol

can anyone think of a better team? was there ever a soccer team put together with all of the best players in the world playing together against real competition?


Brazil in 1970. Pele, the greatest player of all time, plus Carlos Alberto Torres, Rivellino, Jairzinho, Gerson and Tostao. They dominated everyone (also with crazy flair like the dream team) in the 1970 world cup, even beating the great Italy in the final 4 goals to 1. They are widely considered the greatest soccer team ever.

Still, it can't really be compared to the dream team. A soccer dream team would have like Pele, Cruyff, Maradona and Beckenbauer together or some crazy thing like that.

[Nevaeh]

I liked the part where Magic was saying MJ would score on Clyde, and he'd start yelling "Clyde... you gone let him do you like THAT??!!! Come ON Man!!!" Then Barkley would come down and score on Malone and Magic would say "COME ON Karl....Don't let him do you like THAT, MAN "!! Magic was crazy as hell.

But who would they even play? Brazil team to me could be comparable as far as pure dominance/talent. You'll never get a soccer team like the Dream Team given so many great soccer players are spread out in countries.

I could be wrong. I dont have much of a clue with soccer when it comes to league play. But reading your post it seems like a fitting team for the question asked.

You are right. It does fit the question indeed. If there was a dream team in soccer, it was Brazil 1970. Like you said, because the talent is so spread in soccer, it does not get closer than that.

And like the Olympics, the World Cup is a short tournament. And a world cup team is a once a generation thing. A league club would not be a proper comparisson, because the team usually stays for the next season.

Just like the dream team (with those guys) was never back together after 1992, Brazil never again played with that wonderful lineup.

But I get your point......

Anyone kind enough to post a youtube link or another link/dl of the video?

[andgar923]

Their competitive drive and fire alone will be hard for any team to overcome. No fake Dream Team there after could compete with that.

In terms of competitive drive/fire how would you rank the guys on the Dream Team from most competitive to least competitive?

[StarJordan]

- production quality of the video was sub-par actually, who's the narrator they picked
- magic and bird were captains, barkley was the leading scorer of dream team, but for me it was actually all about seeing jordan and pippen vs the world. Bulls were everything in those days....there was an aura about the chicago bulls and those two being on the US team imo was the biggest thing for me (except magic, bird, and charles)
- Jordan looked every bit as awesome in the video as i remember of that time. Totally the star above all the stars. Ultimate top gun
- john stockton's pretty funny....i actually remember seeing that bit on nba inside stuff when it aired in '92....
- i think there was a swimmer who won medal in barcelona and later hosted or appeared on inside stuff

[Vienceslav]

Saw this earlier on youtube and i have to say i really liked it.
No complaints about the production as it was very good , no problem with the narrator , no Morgan Freeman ,but still.I love the behind the scene look at the practices and scrimmages , especially the one at Monte Carlo , because i heard Magic talk about it some time ago and hyping it like it was the best basketball ever played.Would like to see the whole unedited footage of those , i bet there was a lot of great plays by those all time greats left unused.

wonder why Bobby hurley never made the NBA? He was the sh^T in college

That car accident was very serious and he was lucky just to live.
Yup. I'm surprised I cannot find a picture right away of the wreckage. It was shown in Sports Illustrated at the time. He also was not wearing a seatbelt. From an article:

He was thrown 100 feet into the ditch, his lungs collapsed. He had broken ribs, a fractured shoulder blade, a compression fracture of his lower back, a torn tendon in his right knee and soft tissue injuries. He was a mess.
Bobby Hurley was actually averaging 7ppg and 6apg (in 26mpg) during his first 19 career games. He was doing fairly well.

Regarding his appearance in the Dream Team doc though, I do not recall him having braces back then. He looks like Butthead. Further, he was looking pretty aged for a 40 year old.

And the picture of his crash is on page 50 of this issue: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/edb/reader.html?magID=SI&issueDate=19940523&mode=reader_vault

Was just about to post about how old Hurley looked. He looked older then all the dream teamers who are all around 10 years older.
