Favorite U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball Team

2008. Wade showed out and that was the beginning of his own redemption. Lead the team and scoring with many highlight plays under his belt.

2008 for me. Redeem Team. Not only Kobe going hard in the clutch of the gold medal game, but also Melo, LBJ, Wade and a few others showing they could succeed on the Olympic stage after the way Larry Brown fukked them over. Plus they actually had to dig deep and earn that gold due to increased competition.

2012 team was a better team overall I'd say but I enjoyed the 2008 team more.

When Melo had that 1 minute spurt going ham on Argentina


When Westbrook straight ripped the heart out of Argentina


Bron pass to Durant...

1992. I was a youngin back then and only watched a bit of basketball because my pops would have it on the TV. I thought it was cool, but when the Olympics started, the Dream Team made me fall in love with the sport so they'll always be number one in my heart.

2008 hands down. The collection of perimeter players that 2012 team had is unmatched by any team. Also they both played against tougher competition and were more fun to watch. Nothing against any other team though, just my favorite is 2008.

Edit: 2012 is a very close 2nd. Damn, as I type it's closer than I realize.


2008 because it felt like a rebirth. The redemption from 2004, The Redeem Team.

2008 my fav
2012 is the best

Spot on. That '12 team also could have been deeper with bigs but a bunch of players were hurt if I remember correctly.

Dream Team II - '96.

I still think that was a better team as a collective than the OG Dream Team.

I'm way past 30. My favorite all time playerwas in that squad. I'm over the nostalgia

 

[Controversy]

If Magic & Larry would have been 27-30, Dream Team easily

But Redeem Team guards were truly special
