THE DREAM TEAM WAS GOOD
07.06.07Guh. Sorry for the slow-ocity today. I've been having problems with logging on to the ol' internet.com.
As filler, here's a walk down memory lane I first saw on The Postmen a few months back: it's the top ten highlights of the original Dream Team at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. This was back when American basketball was awesome. The Dream Team went out and kicked the shit out of some pissant country like Lithuania by a score of 314-27, then the Lithuanians thanked the Americans for the honor. That's what I'm fuckin' talkin' about. None of this bronze-medal, losing-to-Puerto Rico bullshit.

Shawn fucking Kemp
Not shown: Barkley elbowing Angolan, starting minor international incident.
Also not shown: Michael Jordan dancing on bar top with three underage girls from Barcelona.
THird? God I miss Pip and Michael.
Where are the Christian Laettner highlights?
There must be some footage of him getting Chuck Daly a sandwich or something.
Basketball used to be awesome.
Son, you could make thousands of dollars a year playing basketball.
I'm officially going home tonight, getting baked and firing up NBA Jam on my Sega.
Was Shawn Kemp grabbing his nuts in the '96 Olympics the beginning of the end of basketball as we once knew it?
Seeing those clips of Magic Johnson was awesome! They almost let me forget about "The Magic Hour". Almost. (Shivers uncontrollably)
To paraphrase Matt from a couple of days ago, that is going to be the best thing I'll see all day. Its
depressingrefreshing to go back to when I actually cared about professional basketball.I'm officially going home tonight, getting baked and firing up NBA Jam on my Sega.
Hell yeah El Duffo. Bugs had a wicked Slam.
i could have coached that team to a gold medal.
How upset do you think Danny Manning was for being the badass of the '88 Seoul team, only to have fizzled into Clipper-purgatory by '92?
"Hey, you almost made a basket. You can be our center."
I think I heard Marv say "Ewing" once, but judging from the video, Sir Patrick spent more time on the bench than the wood.
Jordan and Pippen were the keys to like 9 out 10 of those plays. Damn, those Bulls teams were ridiculous.
I miss the 'high-ten' seen at the very end between Pippen and Charles. People just don't do that anymore. I also miss the word 'hump' when referring to sex. I'm hoping both make a comeback in the 21st century.
Pippen was a badass. Barkley elbowing the Angolian guy was the best thing to ever happen to the Olympics.
Are you ready for Maaaaaggggicccc.
Oh Shena E, You crazy (and he then proceeds to chase Shena E around the studio).
speaking of shawn kemp…..anyone up for a scavenger hunt sometime, you gotta find all of his kids
You know who else used to be good? American session musicians. Man this production music gets me in my groove thang.
i didnt realize the term 'posterized' went back so far. did marv albert actually coin that?!
