You guys should have seen the dream team, no one stayed with in 25 points in the first half all tournament. They won several games by 40 plus.

In case you have not looked into the Dream team it was

Leading scorer and MVP Charles Barkley who shot over 70% from the field
The greatest player ever Michael Jordan
The Admiral David Robinson at center
and veterans Magic Johnson and Larry Bird rounding out the starting line-up

When all-time assist and steals leader John Stockton and Magic we're injured MJ slide over to point and Clyde Drexler moved into the starting line-up.

The NBA's 2nd all-time leading scorer Karl Malone, 10 time all-star Patrick Ewing were the back-up posts

Scottie Pippen was the defensive stopper (they never needed) and Chris Mullin was shot 75% from the three point line which was 3 feet closer then the NBA line.

In addition to those 11 NBA's recent Duke graduate and reigning national college player of the year Christian Laetner was added to the team.

Chuck Daly, who won back-to-back NBA titles with Detroit in 89-90 and had recently retired coached the team.

Here are the results

USA 116 Angola 48
USA 103 Croatia 73
USA 111 Germany 68
USA 127 Brazil 83
USA 122 Spain 81
Quarter Finals: USA 115 Puerto Rico 77
Semi-Finals: USA 127 Lithuania 76
Gold Medal Game: USA 117 Croatia 85

Yes the Croatians were considered America's top challenger Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja, Stojan Vrankovic and Zan Tabak we're all NBA players and a part of that team. The first three we're considered among the top 10 European Players of the decade.

When were you born?

Do you remember the 1988 Soviet team? I believe Sabonis was the top player in the world at that time. Magic and Bird we're begining to break down with injuries. Jordan was still raw and without a title and Sabonis dominated the game in Europe.

In 82', too young to remember that team, but I do remember Sabonis.

Anywho, congrats to Phelps, absolutely fantastic.

I'd also like to note that I always kinda root for the chinese because I have a feeling they're gonna be expelled from the Party if the fail leaving their poor families with no money or food or something...:|

Alex, you must live near where my parents went to high school; Churchville, Hartford County, because my uncle had his mom as teacher.
