1996 Australian Boomers vs USA Dream Team III

[@whome1636]

man heal played like 10,15 years ahead of his time. ball handling, off ball, score first type pg. great feel for the game, hesis, constant micro movements etc. watching him is like todays game.

[@grantkerridge]

Except for his shooting technique lol

Shane Heal played in Greece for Near East (1998-2000) and Makedonikos(2003-2004) clubs that were trying avoiding relegation, but Heal he was one of the best foreigners ever played in Greek league

What a player Sir CB is. Surrounded by 4 players and still get it done.

[@EngoneEndong]

John Stockton, superior court vision! Wow!

[@generalkayoss7347]

Mitch Richmond has always been one of the most underrated NBA players ever.

[@OnYouGlenn]

Easily

[@simply-tom]

How Stockton gets away with those passes is unbelievable!!! That’s why he’s one of the best all time!!!

[@CraZzy3n3rGy]

Man’s cardio is crazy too. Look at the first qtr. He’s guarding a scoring guard, ball handling, and weak side help/steal when guys aren’t looking

[@gusaholic]

I remembered watching this as a kid and thinking the score was much closer, memory is a funny thing. It took another 23 years after this until Australia beat the USA but the ground work laid by the Aussie guys in this in this game is the reason more and more Aussies play in the NBA and the reason the Boomers finally won in 2019.

[@iggyblitz8739]

Also the #NBL level is much closer to the NBA than it has ever been.

Not 6'4 . He was 6'6. This is absolutely confirmed by his numerous police mugshots....Media made him shorter for publicity...its in his book....

Dream Team III was the last really dream team, all legends of the game

[@Ving820]

If you want to see the pioneer of the step back three pointer prevalent in today’s game, look for Shane Heal.

[@MazzaMedia_]

The Shane Heal game. I remember he was picked up by the Wolves soon afterwards.

[@meg-k-waldren]

I always thought he was a better shooter than Kerr. I can't imagine Shane Heal getting wide open looks from MJ. Swish city.

[@BeefPapa]

Australia has come a long ways. This US team had no chemistry.

[@BingCherry11]

Stockton was guarding Heal really in his face and Heal could not slip away from him. Not sure why they did not bring Stockton back in sooner.

[@patriciamccormick9321]

John played about 35 minutes a game at this point in his career because of all his injuries. You can’t tell he was hurt but Malone used to wince some days just watching John go out there knowing he was in pain but he NEVER complained.

[@patriciamccormick9321]

When they made the great documentary about the original 1992 dream team they thought they could never get 11 hall of famers on one team again. But fast forward to 2022 and all 12 members of this 1996 Olympic Team is in the Hall of Fame today.

[@jhawkkw87]

Not true, Penny Hardaway isn't in the HOF yet. He may get there, but as of this post he only was only recently nominated for the first time this year (2024). It's too bad injuries shortened his career or else he would have been a no doubter.

[@leifnielson6849]

Yo my man Andrew Haze is 30 damn living fast dude looks at least 45

[@JamesSmith-c2b]

ha ha totally true, but he is now 58 and looks 45 still. he did look very old for a reasonably young man.

[@Roma1n986]

Heal is a sniper like today's game but it doesn't change anything.. 90s all days 👌

[@granvillewalkerjr4321]

You had to give the Aussies due credit. They were outclassed in every meaningful aspect of the game, but they didn't surrender to the superior squad. Trying to get physical with Sir Charles or the Mailman were huge mistakes.

[@danedgar1539]

Barkley was an embarrasment for the dream team

[@monstalova]

I think it was the other way round. Commentators were a bit late on the action. US with Malone especially were trying to intimidate Aus and throwing arms and elbows the whole time. When it actually connected then the Aussies started to fight back

[@Lalambz]

great match to watch! Under appreciated game for sure!

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

Yes, the Heal Game.

[@simon_patterson]

Australia was let down by basic skill errors too often, such as bounce passes to feet and wide open jumpers that missed. Fisher in particular looked like he was sleep walking on the court. Incredible shooting by Heal though, and that lob pass by Gaze to McKinnon was sweet, as was McKinnon's finish.

[@stalkerstomper3304]

@@derrickpainter4312 Probably because Stockton is white and certain pieces of crap in our world seem to thrive off of white people being clowned and disrespected. The lefty liberals started this movement as an excuse to practice white guilt and bigotry all at once.
