It is a very perilous exercise: comparing eras despite a basketball in constant evolution. In the history of the men’s tournament at the Olympic Games, the Dream Team obviously made its mark in 1992. A legendary American armada. And yet, Draymond Green he has a preference for the 2024 version!
It must be said that in this edition, Team USA managed to assemble an impressive squad. With LeBron James, Stephen Curry or Kevin DurantNBA superstars have answered the call of the Olympics.
And overall, Green gives the 2024 Team USA the edge over the 1992 Team USA.
“The 2024 team is clearly compared to the Dream Team and, quite frankly, I prefer the 2024 team every day. Out of 7 matches, I believe that the 2024 team dominates the Dream Team 5 times. You have to respect the Dream Team.
They have GOATs, Hall of Famers. But in 2024, there is versatility, stars and scoring. The Dream Team can’t do anything about that. Then, if the Dream Team had had Shaq and not Christian Laettner, it might have been a different story.
“Honestly, a 10-point defeat for the Dream Team against the 2024 version is entirely possible,” Draymond Green said on his podcast.
Before making such comparisons, we should perhaps wait until the end of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Because even if Team USA has had a solid tournament so far, it has not yet won anything.
And without gold (despite different adversity), this debate can quickly fall into oblivion…
