Former NBA Almost Rage Quits After Chris Mad Dog Russo Shuts Down The Fake 92 Dream Team Comparisons

[@Orlando-h7v]

It’s a shame that no one takes the time to go over the history of why the 1976 Gold medal is so important. First the USA was robbed of the Gold medal in 1972 against the USSR. Was the first time that they didn’t win the Gold so it was a revenge. 2 Remember these Olympics teams were composed by young college basketball players going against grown up men. 3. After that in 1980 the US boycotted the Soviet game a and in 1984 the team was lead by ( MJ, Ewing, Mullin) the Soviets boycotted the LA games. In 88 USA got bronze in Seúl last team composed by college players and 1992 the Dream team was formed. This is why the 1976 gold is so important. If you take a time to learn history you understand the events and the old timers. Basically through those years the two superpowers used basketball to show the world which country was stronger.

Not talking outside accolades we’re talking strictly sports/NBA career There is no hate we acknowledge that Lebron is a good player When you compare rings Lebron’s to Jordan’s Lebron’s rings is not respected why? He did not get it out of the mud. Lebron did not go through the grind. Lebron did 7 years in Cleveland realized he was not going to catch Michael Jordan. So what did Lebron do? He hand picked his way by joining -MVPs -All Stars -An already Champion in D Wade Mavs vs Miami Championship resulted in a loss despite hand picking to join established players that were already leading their teams to the playoffs or championship ie D Wade, Chris Bosh, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving. Lebron did 7 years in Cleveland and realized that he was not going to catch Jordan and decided to recruit and go to Miami cool his choice. Remember the grind it took for other NBA players to make it over the hurdle to capture a championship? Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan that feeling for them and the world to see was like no other that grind towards capturing a championship is what globally the world loves that passion and dedication to achieve the ultimate goal commands a lot of respect. Felt like the people went through that grind as well because we were apart of that journey supporting and watching that accomplishment. That’s what’s missing from Lebron, it’s not even close or a debate when it comes to Jordan. Kobe knew as well that if he continued with Shaq he would have heard because you had Shaq so Kobe went and got it done without Shaq. Jordan and Kobe’s love globally overseas Lebron does not compare unfortunately. Prior to Lebron’s “The Decision” was a bad move in the eyes of many but it was Lebron’s decision his choice all good. In Cleveland Lebron was respected more and had he just stayed in Cleveland and sweat it out like other past champions. Yes he came back to Cleveland but it’s still not the same he did not get it out of the mud. We respect Lebron and his rings but when you compare his rings to the greats…… His path to glory and his rings are not held in the same regard to past champions and to the people. It’s not even a debate and it’s not even close. Michael Jordan stands alone until the next true phenom arrives. Tired of the 90’s because to some are not built for that grind.

[@brianharron3435]

Big facts

[@Arctanis-vt3hl]

92' team was the team that inspired many of what you see today in the NBA. They made the game global and rightfully so, should get credit for it. It was the first "super" team of it's kind and they did what they were supposed to do - win by 30+ every night. You make it sound like the competition has caught up to the NBA, and it hasn't. The USA has a full roster of NBA players. At most, each team had maybe 2 NBA players. The USA was favored to win by at least 10 pts and they barely beat Serbia and France, which means they underperformed. IF the 92' team was playing in this Olympics at the same ages, they would destroy these teams by a wide margin. Not a single game would be close because that team played defense.

[@michaelrandle7296]

@Arctanis-vt3hl That's not the problem, I don't mind them getting their credit in a historical context. A person would be a fool to say they weren't influential in expanding the game, but you brought up my point. They expanded the game to be global. In doing that, you don't think other players from overseas as kids weren't inspired by them, and trained to be just as good. They only played against a total of 5 foreign NBA players who weren't really that good. They were light years ahead of those teams so what do you think the '24 team would have done to those teams. I'm not saying as a whole the foreign teams are better than our guys, but they are a whole lot closer thanks to the '92 team.The '92 would have problems also, they would be against players in coming from the NBA and international league that are better nowadays. The three ball would be hard for that team to contend with because no one was a consistent 3 point shooter. Bird doesn't count because he barely played due to injury. Magic had retired, he would have a harder time because those guys would have tired him out. Mullens was the only one, and he didn't get a lot of minutes. Do I believe that they would win, for sure. But it would be as easy as you guys think. Sidenote: As far as rumor has it; the lineup for the 2028 team doesn't look too good, especially with Brown, Tatum, and Haliburton saying they may not play because of what happened this year...

It’s funny how they can take shots at the old school, but when the old school shoots back, they get in their feelings.

[@scottmoreau3584]

Arenas is never honest. He wants views so he panders to this generation knowing it’s more younger kids watching

[@veelowmuymalo7258]

A Super Hype means something totally different here in Chicago 🌝

[@goatvoicestwin1859]

1992 gold medal was the most significant one. Honestly Mad dog was expressing what we are all thinking!! I was also rooting for the creator of French fries!!

[@dwayneaustin6818]

I believe it was 1976 because of the circumstances surrounding 1972. I'd say 1992 is the 2nd most significant.

Silly Gilly Strikes Again!!!!! American reporter admits rooting against the Americans.....Should activate a conflict of interest clause in Doggy's contract.

[@VibratingHigher.]

I bet Gilbert still thinks that NBA champions are World Champions.

[@killablackmambakbm7593]

The crazy part is Bill Russel olympic team of the 50s won by an average of 40 points with college players. The 2024 team is like the avengers barely beating Green Goblin and bragging about it

[@ricardolozano5356]

a killer instinct back then

[@phillipjackson7338]

Gill just tried to fade the entire 80s and 90s ball

The Dream Team NEVER called a time out. Not one time EVER. No fcuking comparisons

Yea playing vs complete trash I remember how bad the players were who they faced

Shut up Gil, one day you will get old, so slow your roll💯👌🏽💪🏽

[@stvnsn]

That man said 1976🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kenidocleveland4359]

Gilbert then fkd up for not putting context to the 76 olympics like mad dog did

[@edwinbrown8509]

It's a big deal because it's a gold medal, and winning that is more important than a down to the wire, drama filled, entertaining loss. We already know the USA dominates the world when it comes to basketball. And for that reason some people, like Madog 🥱 thinks it's not a big deal when you're heavy favorites to win before the Olympics even start, It's' more newsworthy for Madog to talk about a historical upset than just another Gold medal, even though he's an American.

[@myril.kennedy]

Gil .. "We beat Paris in Paris" that's all I needed to hear. Dude is not knowledgeable able global basketball or sports

[@walllee6470]

Wow.....he really has to stop discussing basketball pre-2000

[@Ladonko2009]

Add anti-white bias as well with Gil. It underlies everything, critiques of foreigns and americans.

[@MarioSilva-jg5nh]

These dudes having basketball podcasts don’t know about the whole history of why the dream team exists 😂

[@DragonmasterSK]

Gil sayin' there where no NBA players on the 1976 😂😂😂. Dude, I'm from Mexico (not exactly basketball capital) and I Know that the first time NBA players were allowed to play at the Olympics started with the Dream Team. You learn that in school when they make you run around the laps 😂😂😂. I feel so bad for people who actually listen and believe what he says

[@Mac_Raymond]

The medals meant more pre 92' and they mean more now than anytime since 92'. The international players have never been better and have closed the gap between NBA talent where 4 of the top 10 in the NBA aren't actually from the US today.

[@ericfreeman8825]

Hey can you do a show on the 2024 versus the 1992 comparison

[@tellitlikeitisfresh6541]

Yo remember how hype he was tho 😂 last yr😂

[@prestonakins1532]

How many NBA players were on the 76 team compared to 2024?

[@treverb3183]

Gil lies cause that's the only way he has a way to put food on the table. Eating off of lebrons media company.

Cubana gill 😂 he mad he could be great in the 90s😂

[@RamonAdorno-ds1wu]

I grew up listening to the hall of famer Mad Dog .

[@johnthebaptist9608]

Chris Russo is right. These guys should have won those games with more than 20 points.

[@Wyse_thoughts]

This era really got me not wanting to watch basketball.

[@brianharron3435]

So don’t simply

[@queenkygqobose8073]

There is a difference between rooting against your country in favor of another. You are comparing apples and oranges

[@Balvenie21]

See how the narrative changed? It went from “best team in USA basketball history” to “the world has caught up to us” when these games got tight. Congrats for the gold giving respect for that and miss me with all the best team ever bs.

[@JoseVasquez-sp6kc]

Gilbert doesn't understand historical context lol

[@TS-zu4hv]

Nothing wrong with rooting for anyone. We all do it. It’s not a war just basketball.
