    When I was a kid, this was unbelievable. The entire Dream Team were the best in the NBA. Those guys loved and hated each other as rivals, but they pushed each other to be the best. This era was the best, glad I got to enjoy it. Respect for each that played the game well. Magic my fav off all time!

      Yup that was Magic. Starting with the Lakers, it was Magic's team but he always deferred to Kareem. The Lakers had gone so many years without a championship and magis arrives and they win it.
      Magic was selfless, he got along with everybody. only Westhead who failed to read the sign of times when magic arrived at LA, became a causality.

      And Magic’s game was craaaazy. He could do EVERYTHING Offensively. The best passer, the best PG on the fast break, he could speed the game up, he could slow the game down, he COULD shoot (allegedly his biggest weakness but he shot 53% fg for his career), Magic had low post game, high post game, could shoot the 3, the midrange 2, doubling or tripling him was stupid because he could pick you apart and get easy layups for his teammates, I got Magic #3 all time behind Wilt and MJ.

Legend says that his petty ass also did it just to slight Isaiah. Also Nike agreed to release the Olympic line for him as well. So we got the Olympic 7s w/ the 9 on the back.

    I watched Magic in college and you could see this man can change the way basketball is being played. After Michigan State won the title the entire country could not wait for the next NBA season to start.
    I watched a game of the week played in Chicago the year before they went pro and it looked like half a WNBA pre CC attendance the NBA was going downhill and that all stopped when Magic and Bird turned pro.

    I was 18 years old during the summer Olympics in Barcelona, and this was a dream for me to watch having played 3 years of varsity basketball after 1 year of junior varsity as an 8th grader three years prior to H.S. The Dream Team was all my teammates and I could talk about at the start of my senior year that August. It was refreshing after the devastating news the year before when Magic announced he was HIV positive. I was so happy for him to get this opportunity thinking to myself that he'll be dead in a few years. Thank God we still have him with us 🙏

    That Dream Team was like men playing against boys, "beating everybody by 42 pts a game," as Magic said.
    Today, the US team can't do that any more, not because today's NBA stars are no good, they still are. It's just the rest of the world has finally caught up with them. Europe's producing multiple great players, Luka & Jokic comes to mind. This is great for the game. Having one dominant team or nation is not good because since there's no challenge, it becomes too easy & complacency sets in. You need to keep pushing to get to the next level.
