Coach Daly looks like the actor that would have played the coach in any movie in the 90’s

[@woodruffv76]

He's the quintessential coach in any movie....dude was a genius. I love how Jordan gained admiration for him and vice versa....despite their NBA battles, and Daly creating THE game plan of ALL game plans.....the Jordan Rules...he knew how to stop MJ....I feel that this made MJ a better ball player from that point...Daly essentially....awakened a beast....This is classic stuff! 😎

I don't know if I'd say Lebron is better than Magic. I guess, if you're just looking at stats, maybe. But Magic wasn't gonna average a ton of points, cuz he was a true point, and he had Kareem. I mean, a rookie Magic stepped in and played center in the Finals when Kareem got injured. He went 42,15, and 7 in that game.

If a guy plays on an all star team is he gonna be over rated? @ magic johnson

Trey Evans I see you have seen documentaries. Documentaries are propaganda. He couldn't dribble couldn't shoot couldn't play defense. Bet ya didn't know that. The NBA has admitted to having a concerted effort to boost up the bird vs magic story to boost sales. They are both highly over rated.

[@keepingitreel...8037]

MJ was younger than Bird. Jordan was born in 63. Bird was born in 56 Jordan didn't win until Bird got out of his way. . . Bird and the Celtics had to compete against some very tough, physical teams and great players. The 6ers, the Hawks, Detroit, and LA. Jordan pretty much had the stage to himself. During the entire 80s either the Celtics or the Lakers, or both, were in the finals. Jordan beat the Lakers with all the LA stars hurt. Then he played nobody after that. The fact that the Bulls made 6 finals and won all of them tells you there was no real competition. Bird and the Celtics had to swap championship wins and losses with Magic and his Lakers. Anyway, it's all just one's opinion. They were all very good and made a pretty damn good living playing a game, while the rest of us had to work for a living. . . : ) Fun Fact: Larry Bird is the Only person in NBA History to be named Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, NBA Finals MVP, All Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year.

The late great Coach Daly don't play. He basically send a message to the Dream Team that you could lose.

[@rovevanpersie245]

this was the turning point for the dream team to play as a team.

[@88smjls]

Daly wouldn’t play Jordan which means he knows Jordan would refuse to lose.

Jordan Would've Took Offense To This And Thus He'd Take It Personal With Daly

[@Hinshu85]

This was his way to make them play under him. They were all the best on the planet and they would play without coach. Jordan said something at 4:24

Lebron wouldve just walked off the court…

Lesson learnt never underestimate your Opponent!!!☮

[@ExodusPessoa]

Very Well Said

[@sizzlinfr]

more like lesson learned dont bench mike

[@sportjames23]

Right? Even with Chuck rigging the game for the college guys, the Dream Team came back on their asses. Then Chuck calls game. What kind of bullshit was that?

[@edjaedavid6362]

They didn't underestimate their opponents.. they just couldn't blend at that time.. so, when they could blend well, the college students couldn't even score anymore... hope you watch the documentary..

[@eeezr4]

When Larry Bird said "some of these college players should be on the team" just goes to show that even then when that scrimmage was held, the game was already evolving

[@daveyboygee]

This was a fun little vignette! Great part of the Dream Team story!

[@grega4231]

I remember watching this years ago. Daly knew how to toughen up the players and put a realty check on them. You can see how the dream team stated the game playing like they were playing the all star game. Daly probably started mj and then took him out as soon as the dt went down by a couple buckets, either that or didn't play him at all. Bird and magic at that time were old and no where near what they were in the 80s also. Im guessing magic was out there trying to guard hurley, which he can't do even when playing seriously. If daly wanted to win he would stick stockton on him or pippen. That's just one of the lineup tweaking he was doing to make it easier for the college kids to score. Everybody knows if you throw mj in while losing, things change automatically since his competitive nature would wake all those hofers up instantly.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Thank you! I've been trying to tell people MJ started off just Chuck took him out! Just because they heard them say ....they noticed Michael wasn't playing towards the end ...doesn't mean he didn't play it all!

[@cantguard26]

I feel like somebody recorded all of those scrimmages and it's hidden somewhere. 🤔🤔

[@dchang11]

Isaiah Watson they had to record it. They needed to review the strengths and weaknesses to prepare against opponents

[@andrewfotopoulos7766]

Would love to see it...

[@SteveGellerMusic]

Jack McCallum, who wrote the Dream Team book, said in the book that he has copies of all of the scrimmages and behind-the-scenes footage. So at least a few people have it.

[@Oscar-fi1ev]

Bobby Hurley's age really shows there. He looks like a HS freshman.

[@skyMcWeeds]

CHUCK DALY is a GENIUS

[@mariovh]

Daly made sure they would loose by constantly rotating , leaving MJ out and so much more just to make sure , they would listen to him because a lot of people seem to forget , those guys have big egos and won’t take advice from anyone ! That scrimmage changed everything … they knew if we don’t go out and play we maybe can loose ! I watched every game and until today I can say ! Best team in sports ever !

[@tillman40]

I feel this era could wreck the players today

[@willfrazier8485]

Easily..just looking at the film they wouldn't know what to do with the skill set of the players today, let alone the speed.

[@powerman1993tk]

You should read what Jordan did with other college players to the best in the league back in 1984. The college squad beat the NBA top elites 8 games straight.
