Man we were so proud playing against the glorious Dream Team in the Olympic finals, amidst very hard times for our small country. I was a 12 year old boy and have just starting the biggest love for the game. Dražen's death was an awful shock the next year and our national team started to decline, but half of the country continued to root for Kukoč, MJ and the Bulls till late '90s and every existing court in Croatia was full of kids playing basketball ❤️
Being from Utah I hated (loved) the Bulls! Back then I didn't know much about Tony but how could you not love him. I liked reading your comment, seeing the game and these players from your perspective.
@@Golden-ui5um Thank youuu, I still watch the game and had one eye on Utah this last season.

guys, seeing Jordan, Magic, Bird, Robinson, Ewing, Barkley, Drexler, Stockton, Malone, Pippen playing together is something that anyone who hasn't seen it can't understand. The strongest team ever that can never be equaled!!

The greatest talent ever, a true Dream Team, and yet, against all odds, the Croatians had them on the ropes at one point. Thumbs up for the brave people! Respect!
I am from Croatia and i live in Croatia and i have great Love for America.This was FOR SURE best U.S. dream team ever,i am also so proud on my country Croatia for playing such great game against Greatest basketball players ever
It has always been beyond me where the popularity of this game comes from. Some tall chaps bounce a ball down a gym, jump up and put it in a basket. Then the other team has the ball and bounce sit to the other end of the gym and puts it into the basket at that end. And repeat. And because it goes on for so long, the scores get really high. So boring. I realise this won’t be a majority opinion.
@mirfalltkeinnameein9 that dream team beat everybody for more than 30 points per game, this Germany team could lose for about 50 or 60 points of difference, not team ever you can't compare with that 1992 Dream team, invincible team 👏
Truly a Dream Team!!! 😍❤️❤️❤️🥰 No other team can be like it. Thanks yt, I can watch this over & over, relive my college gaga- over basketball days.❤️❤️❤️
I had forgotten how athletic Ewing was back in those days. Honestly kids in the US do not realize how great The Dream Team was and how important they were to the world of Basketball.
The fact that Croatia lead at any time in the game let alone as late as we did against the best basketball team ever assembled while also going through a brutal war for independence and basically survival is a testament to Croatian heart. No one did this! Also World Cup of soccer 2018 and 2022!!! Hrvatska !!
Croatia in itself was a European Dream Team then, for those who followed the euro league. And lithuania had a dreamy straying five as well, all top-caliber euro players.
🙄 No they were not Serbia was by far stronger European team. Croatia and Lithuania had 4-4 great players, Serbia had 7-8 + better bench But USA forbid Serbia to play because they were evil imperia attacking Serbian land

The most epic Olympic basketball final in history. A much deserved winner, but there's never been a more epic runner-up. R.I.P. Dražen Petrović. Lithuania also deserves an honorable mention for picking up the bronze, the '92 Olympic generation was stacked with class acts👏🔝
Я смотрел этот матч от начала до конца, и смотрелся он на одном дыхании, и не скажу, что звезды нба играли в полсилы весь матч, так иногда расслаблялись, но и хорваты были на высоте конечно.

Please on what ropes...They were never in danger of loosing to Croatia
What ropes? Is there a 30 point shot that I don't know about?
A basketball game never stop after ten minutes, and the Dream Team players knew that. Keeping it close for ten minutes does not equal "on the ropes".

People think they dunked every possession. It's nice to see them swish some of those sweet jumpshots.
Respect to the Croats for being able to get even a temporary lead over this never-to-be equalled invincible juggernaut of basketball gods.
I see Drazen Petrovic and i feel sad, what a unique player. Much respect from Greece - Panathinaikos where he was about to play...
Did not know that,
Dražen was the best we ever have
I know we miss out on that and I felt like if kukoc played in this era he would've been a real match problem with anyone.
