USA Dream Team v Croatia 1992 -- GOLD MEDAL GAME --

[capricancer1000]

My brother in law is Croatian...he's a douche bag.

[anakngkulugo]

@capricancer1000 lol

[setterle1]

OUTSTANDING OVATION for Magic

[ThemBones24]

Best basketball team of all-time. What made this team so great is their talents complimented other. They had no weakness.

[fabiancic]

Watching the 1992 USA Dream Team is like watching Picasso paint - a master performing his art.

[joker0187]

@fabiancic

i'd rather put it more of a da vinci or michaelangelo paint those two are just the best

[TheFactsGuy101]

That guy at 2:53 is 7' 2" and he missed a wide open dunk. How is he pro?

[6LUKA]

@TheFactsGuy101 pressure

[rumblefighterhysf]

And 3:20 he was trying to act all tough LOL

[rumblefighterhysf]

2:53 That guy was at LEAST 6'10" and he missed a dunk......what the fuck!?!?

[JGA1980]

WITHOUT A DOUBT IF IT WASNT FOR THE DREAM TEAM, TEAM GROATIA/YUGOSLAVIA WOULDA WON THE GOLD, DAMN THEY HAD DINO RADJA, PETROVIC.., KUKOC AND THOSE BOYS, AND IF U HAD ADDED DIVAC , WWAAAAT

[Elbarto564]

2:50 fail

[dpinzow]

That croatian team wasn't scrub...Kukoc, Petrovic, and Radja were all pretty good to great NBA players. It would have been interesting to see Divac playing with those three...I still think they get blown out, every team in history except for maybe the 1960 US Olympic team with Robertson, West, Lucas and Bellamy would get killed by the Dream Team (and I'd have to add Havlicek and Wilkens to even make that a fair fight)

[thetanjga]

jbt a sta bi bilo da se Juga nije raspala i da su u timu bili i srpski igraci... Onda bi naslov bio USA vs Dream Team...

[reddwarfposse]

Would have loved to see the old Yugoslavian team against the Dream Team.

[Iwinulost]

Hahahahah he says at 4:10 "Get that shi*t outta here!!"

[airassault11]

That USA team was/is/will always be the best team ever! That Croatian team was a very good one with Kukoc and Petrovic who a lot of the young people today don't know how great he was at that time. He was within range as soon as he got off the bus! Love watching this clip!!

[rosss1959]

EARVIN MAGIC JOHNSON! Thats my boy!!!!! Homeboy. Same class (1977) Same state (Michigan).

[USAmaverick4]

Man I feel so bad for these other team they were all amateurs going against the legends of basketball this team did better than the last team I watched last team looked like a bunch of toddlers going against the pros of now lol

[cente1007]

@MrCroatian100 Don't doubt you, but still you can't replace Vlade and Zarko. Those two, along those other 3 greats, were amazing in union.

[ephabouyed]

After Croatia took the lead the USA were like "Right fun's over!"

[berryman596]

i love how they smell the flowers at the end lol

[MarkPatriots]

Pippen and Magic are lethal in the open court while driving the ball.. seeing those two on the court at the same time is an incredible fast break offense

[sharpshooter22nutria]

If the best U.S. athletes wasted their time playing soccer, then the U.S. would for sure be ranked #1 in the world. We just have better things to do.

[VioletMould]

@sharpshooter22nutria lol, soccer is the world's most popular game, if they focused mostly on soccer theyd target a demographic twice as large as the basketball scene.

btw, the football world cup is the largest sporting event in the world; larger than the olympics...

so ur statement of usa having "better things to do" is completely invalid in every sense ._.

[TheCroArmyBilice]

Croatia has about 4 500 000 people. Our soccer team is currently ranked 9th in the world , our handball and waterpolo teams are in the top 3 in the world if not the best , Croatian basketball was great during the 90' but it sucks now. In the last 10 years we dominated alpine skiing (Ivica and Janica Kostelic). We're also best in high jump (Blanka Vlasic world's best female athlete 2010) and in many more things... Imagine if we had more people ;)

[reddog418]

@TheCroArmyBilice Imagine if you played sports people gave a shit about.

[hrvat1995]

@reddog418 which sports?

[buddy200188]

@TheCroArmyBilice Respect from Italy

[Randon1928]

@TheCroArmyBilice We have the best like 20 basketball ball players in the world. Top 50 football players. Best swimmer. Best goverment. so if yall had more people... Yall might be able to possibly be our little brother. (;

[GreenJelloStars]

Thank God MJ got their talent back from those aliens :) haha Moron Mountain lol

[luktheduk68]

2:52 best part

[firerocker55]

lol 6:26 was he trying to do a put back dunk? XD

[firerocker55]

0:54 isn't that a violation?

[adriank9]

I was big fan of NBA with those magic players and never ever after

[Sneakz4Weekz17]

Charles Barkley was sick.

[Boostergts]

i miss those days............

[thicarpel]

1:36 was fucking amazing!

[HooliganLeppi]

long live croatia

[2550505]

@HooliganLeppi If croatia had the population if spain, then croatia would be the best team in europe.

[Alanassy]

Proves how good the Croatian team was back then.

[cente1007]

If this would still have been the Yugoslavian team... they would've given them a better battle. Maybe still lost against them, but it would've been a game, a close one too...

[FranckSplit]

Kuki.!!



[tacotony24]

the only thing going for Croatia is there outside shooting but once the US shut that offense down, the Croatians had a difficult time competing with the US

[Tit0Ja]

the dunk of clyde "the glide" drexler in 7:23 was insane!!!

[Offtheropesshow]

DRAZEN PETROVIC RIP! A GREAT PLAYER GONE FAR TOO SOON

[mikeymain93]

Aint no other team like the dream team!

[revengeofbutthead]

LOL

6:58

the croatian center looks like had no clue!

[0klahomajackson]

I would have been glad to see this final joined by VLADE DIVAC, ZARKO PASPALJ, JURE ZDOVC, ZORAN RADOVIC, TEOMAN ALIBEGOVIC, SASA OBRADOVIC and SASA DJORJEVIC, than my friends this game would have resulted otherwise. The Olympian winner 1992 would be named SFR Jugoslavija. Croatia alone Silver (RESPECT!!!) but united Yugoslavia would have won GOLD. Watch McDonalds Open Game Boston Celtics against Yugoslavia on Youtube from 1988 without Drazen petrovic, who played for Real Madrid in this open....

[DJEffrey77]

Man, if this team lost, it would be as ridiculous as a team with LeBron, Tim Duncan, AI, D-Wade and Amar'e not winning the Gold Medal.

Wait a minute...

[tivrfoa]

2:54 white don't dumk xD

[lasthoughts]

@ 2:52 BIG MAN GOES "I GOT THIS HEHEHE" *misses dunk horribly, small dude than lays it in with ease* made me laugh

[agnostaxian]

US games- basketball and football. we can only get 2 medals in olympics with this but u can get like 10 medals in badminton and 10 more in ping pong. who gives a shit about those sports??

[GreasyToad]

Excellent video, best basketball team ever

Oh and Michael Douglas cap :O

And the winners' tracksuits :D

[guppyfishable]

They all say Kobe Bryant is the next MJ, or LeBron is the next MJ, theres Dirk and theres Wade but NO-ONE gets close to MJ, no disrespect but MJ is the Basketballer, he isn't just a dunker or a free-thrower this guy could fadeaway and he rock the court. #MichaelJordanForLife

[zeel2314]

USA is OP

[zqdz123]

look at 7:03.there is a pretty woman.who is she ?

[ChrisHoti1996]

2:53 soooooooooooooo Faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!!!!!!!!!!

[TooT1424]

2:53 *runs out of arena*

[chezza55]

Imagine: Croatia was in the middle of the war. No chance vs the Dream Team of course but respect for getting into the finals in such hard times.

[New987user]

I still think Pat Riley should have been the coach instead of Chuck Daley ....

[cooly1551]

At 6:33 they have four extra chances and they still don't get the shot

[cooly1551]

Jordan against Kukoc Jordan wins every time

[mosnaidei]

Thank god the bulls got Kukoc. Was such a essential part of the late 90's bulls.

[TheCROmann]

Remeber Drazen Petrovic....he was the best player in Europe and in NBA...R.I.P

[MrPreppy22]

2:55 white men cant jump

[jjrichkid93]

I cant belive u said that. the nfl would shit on the cfl. no offense its juss the fact that most ppl go to the cfl cuz they cant make it in the nfl

[jjrichkid93]

this isnt even fair......could u imagine if they allowed american football in the olympics. everybody in the world would compete for the silver medal cuz the usa would automaticall win gold lol......:D

[YeIIowSnow]

@jjrichkid93

ignorance bro. Canada and their CFL have some very good players.

Don't be that arrogant.

[HymanKaplan]

@jjrichkid93 lol you are delusional, nobody outside of USA plays and cares about american football, it is exclusively american sport.

[1nonlyrawbert]

2:54 EPIC FAIL!!! LOL

[vincentrich]

2:13-2:23

wtf does that commentary have to do with anything?

[JmAckiN303]

i know as soon as usa ran down the court everyone was "like oh shit"

[lasoogneypubes]

2:56 lol

[vincentrich]

@lasoogneypubes

The American white man isn't the only one who can't jump.

[jetershomie]

the illest

[mrreman]

DREAM TEAM USA 1992 - best there ever is, best there ever was, best there ever will be.

[nkchan823]

MAN!!this is when charles barkley is on fire!!

[SpeedKnotz]

lol Croatia had no chance. 

[TheTruthfulAsshole]

7-14, as close as the Croates would get....

[soopie1]

@TheTruthfulAsshole Actually Croatia led 25-23 at one point. It was the first time-out USA had to make because of the result on the whole tournament ...

[kingcroatia]

3:42 epic damn

[kingcroatia]

drazen kukoc radja,... what a great team!!!! rip petro

[1821Ceasar]

Forget about the Dream Team. Next year @ 2012 olympics The Dream Team 2 is next. Rose, C. Paul, Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Durant, Carmelo, Griffin, Dwight, Stoudemire, J kidd & Ray Allen. my goodness

[gabepizza]

@1821Ceasar Griffin, Kidd and Allen are not on the team.

[xLeiRage]

@1821Ceasar get j.kidd, ray and stoudemire. put kevin love, westbrook and tyreke.

[trucvylucky852]

magic johnson got the biggest pop from the crowd

[controlmachete1000]

las mejores estrellas del baloncesto de todos los tiempos

[PLAYTOY26]

Drazen Petrovic best 4ever!!

[flastatesoldier]

7:13 most epic hat ever

[sodapopcurtisjr]

new dream team would be derrick rose, lebron james,dwayne wade, dwight howard,kobe bryant. then bench would be chris paul, pau gasol, carmelo anthony, manu ginobili, and kevin durant

[mitenpat]

@sodapopcurtisjr There can't be gasol (he would play for Spain) and ginobii (Argentina) 

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@mitenpat alright then joe johnson for ginobili, lol joe johnson is the most american name. and amare stoudemire for gasol

[mitenpat]

@sodapopcurtisjr I am from Atlanta so please anyone but him please.

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@mitenpat why? hes good

[mitenpat]

@sodapopcurtisjr He does not show up in big games see the Hawks , the last three years. Too inconstant.

[URB4NR3CON]

@sodapopcurtisjr Swap derrick rose with deron williams you need a pass first PG with all that talent. Also Gasola and ginobli can't play for the USA, they are foreigners.

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@URB4NR3CON are u kidding me? derrick rose is the best point guard in the game. he carried his team to the finals, deron williams carried his team to a horrible record this season

[URB4NR3CON]

@sodapopcurtisjr Are you kidding me? He did not go to the Finals and he is not a pass first point guard. He drives to the basket into 2-3 defenders and tries to get off a shot. A point guard should not be jackin up 20-30 shots a game, He should be creating shots for his teammates. When you have that much talent around a point guard, the guard should not just drive to the hoop but rather create shots for teammates. And please you honestly believe Derrick Rose could have saved the shitty ass Nets?

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@URB4NR3CON there would be no need for him to drive it if his team was any good. with all the acrobatic layups he does. hes on the bulls, besides deng, noone on the team can consistantly shoot it. either rose has to take a shot, or a teammate will miss a wide open shot

[URB4NR3CON]

@sodapopcurtisjr I understand that he has to do that for the Bulls to win, but because he has to do that those actions become a part of his game. You can't just switch up your game like that.

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@URB4NR3CON they dont become roses. if u saw the playoffs you would see how much he passes it and it was alot but the bulls shooting guards are horrible. rose can do both roles much better then deron

[URB4NR3CON]

@sodapopcurtisjr He was not passing it that much...He was only get a assist every 8 minutes....

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@URB4NR3CON he gets an assist every 8 minutes because his teammates make a shot every 8 minutes. the bulls shooting guards are pretty bad offensivly but their d is pretty good

[URB4NR3CON]

@sodapopcurtisjr Also Chris Paul is the best point guard in the game. That is all.

[Saint7781]

Man, Croatian defense was nowhere to be found.

[clopezencinas]

Pues me parece que ganó Croacia. Dado que la relación aproximada entre habitantes de ambos países es 300000000/4000000 = 75, se puede entender que cada punto de Croacia tiene un valor de 75.

[ghetto300]

Bird, Magic, Jordan......thats just not fair lol

[kmaze1204]

Are these Croatian players going to the wrestling match after the game?

[havohej616]

@kmaze1204

why you say so

[mcluvin28x]

John Stockton looks like a Highschool Biology teacher lol

[josuextreme1]

there will never be a dream team like this one

[josuextreme1]

there will never be a dream team like this

[calvinpkk]

The strongest dream team ever

[mrNEUSTRASIVI]

Drazen Petrovic was the best player that year,his game was great.

[imnotftw]

wtf i thought magic retired in '91??? did he come back?

[TheReeeeeech]

@imnotftw yeah for the Olympics :3

[nwa974]

@imnotftw Magic was retired of course but they asked him to play olympic games, and before, all nba fans asked to see him in 92' allstar game

[Jeremy8104]

Hahaha @ mike douglas' hat

[SirHedden]

2:55 are you fucking serious? that guy is like 6'8 and he gets stuffed by the rim.

[kroepo]

@SirHedden He got a pretty sweet dunk the next play tho lol

[SirHedden]

@kroepo still... if you're playing in the Olympics for your country and you're 6'8 you should at least be able to get the ball above the damn rim

[JRope1016]

that failed dunk looked so painful!! at 2:53

[Dllshockk]

How is 2:50 not a foul?

[MarcinXJX]

@Dllshockk It's just great defence by the rim;)

[GangstazProductionz3]

I from Croatia 

[Basssinger86]

Congrats to Chris Mullin on being inducted to the hall of fame. The 11th member of the Dream Team to be inducted.

[peedihamilton]

lol @ 2:53 white man can't jump

[bokiblack]

American bastards would never have won the gold medal to the team of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then played in Barcelona!

[Nick22pr]

lol i find it funny that tall croatian actually thought he could steal the ball from magic johnson. lol

[animegamer77]

Look at all those flashes at 5:00 as soon as MJ dunks. The King, Michael Jordan!

[New987user]

@animegamer77 You could even tell at 4:51 so many flashes!!

[animegamer77]

@New987user Haha. I think the flashes blinded me! I didn't see that! XD

[animegamer77]

@New987user Heck yeah, man!

[vccstudents]

Ewing at 1:04 slams it home! Too bad he couldn't do that at the end of Game 7 against Indiana in '95! Instead he goes for a ridiculous finger roll and MISSES! Ewing became a BUM that day and has been one ever since! Dwight Howard is ten times the center Ewing ever was! He was over rated at Georgetown as well, but this was the greatest team I ever saw!

[VoicingTheSounds]

What a team that was. Pure greatness in every player. Pure greatness in teamwork. Just incredible. I still stand in awe when i watch this dream team. F*CKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[laserstun]

Is that a medal ceremony or a hall of fame induction? 

[vanquisher111]

I salute USA -they helped croatia get to the tournament. , even USA team said that only one who can have chance against them was Croatia,at some point USA team said they wont play in tournament, if croatia couldnt play,.at the time there was a war in croatia, and i think croatia was the team that lost with smallest lead,

[waleljekaj1]

3:34

[SneakerGiantCom]

Barkley was balling...damn.

[BaseFury]

Nice way to TOTALLY redeem the taking of US gold from 1972.

[dbray1]

"how about you and a certain coach ditka....."

"hey thats already ufair again!"

[oreovsdiablo]

@dbray1 lol SNL with Chris Farley!

[DetroitSuperman23]

just when i think the Croatia team is gonna dunk on the fast break he blows it haha

[leastordinary]

barkley made a difference since he played,his touches screwing up croatia team

[coolJAYhunk]

IM LAUGHTFING AT 2:50 STUPID DUNKS LOL

[FloydTheFlyingDog]

Kein Wunder, dass Kroatien verloren hat. Gegen so viele Affen auf einem Haufen kann man nur mit der Keule bestehen. Scheiß Neger!

[iamhungey12345]

@FloydTheFlyingDog

You're late for your KKK meeting Adolf.

[akuonye]

@FloydTheFlyingDog

STUPID CHINK

[Xendinthian]

@FloydTheFlyingDog Obvious troll is obvious.

[gerfall]

@FloydTheFlyingDog You're not too good at trolling.

[ChristianGray18]

@FloydTheFlyingDog Larry Bird and John Stockton was on the dream team ya racist bastard...

[aflory2000]

@FloydTheFlyingDog

Christian Laettner, Chris Mullen, Larry Bird, John Stockton, and the head coach are all white, moron.

[uchihasuzzy]

The greatest team ever assembled, of all time and of all sports. Beats Brazil soccer team of 1970 by a looong shot.

[CrazyFoo501]

6:58

Even with goaltending on Crotia's part Pippen still made the bucket, truly one of the greatest Small Forwards ever.

[ilmedico100]

Kukoc, Radja, Petrovic, Vrankovic, Komazec...

[brakesteel00]

This is ridiculous.Look at these stupid red dressed girls against legends.I think that croatia did not have to play that games.It was only shame what I see here.

[bequietandjam]

@brakesteel00 you are stupid just like these red dressed girls. If Croatia refuses to play that game, croatians players are banned from their country.

[runescaperox12345678]

im sorry but it seemed that croatia played a little bad

[TheWarneK]

@runescaperox12345678 would your dreamteam play good if there country was in war but not in war 15000 km away  like in vietnam or something like that. we were fighting for our ground and lives of our civilians ,each and every dollar has gone into protecting the country while you had money for everything you needed, not to mention u had the dreamteam. usa is the best in basketball everyone knows it but dont tell us we where bad becouse you wouldnt be any better in our situation .
