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

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.

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