That 08 USA team might be the most athletic ever..wade bean bron

[madness]

got me reminiscing about 08 Wade
those knees were working right
dude was a beast on defense
that euro step was so nasty back then

it hurts to watch him now when you know what he was not too long ago

Bald headed Wade had something to prove...reports of his demise after the heats 15-67 season were exaggerated

The next season he won the scoring title at 30 PPG while dishing out 8 assists per game. Boss shyt.

That Wade to Kobe alley oop

 

[Reid2Achieve]

Spain with the athletically challenged gasol bros and average NBA talent Rudy Fernandez and Juan Carlos Navarro took 08 squad to the brink

92 would've played straight bully ball with Ewing, D. Robinson, Barkley, Malone...even old Bird and Magic would've feasted in the post.

I didn't even get to prime Jordan and prime Pippen

That Spain team had cohesion and a lot of talent. I do agree that 92's bigs would have a field day. 08 would have had to fast break em to death and hit 3s.

92 team had a lot of older cats and bigs so they could get worn down. And they only had like 3 guys who shot threes

That Wade to Kobe alley oop

that was NASTY.

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

They left out that windmill alley from wade. That boy was a gatdamn monster

Jesus I remember that play

He has the quickest first step

 

[MJ Truth]

During those '08 Olympics Jason Kidd was near half court and double teamed, trapped basically, and took a couple of dribbles (to the left I think) and just launched the ball off of the backboard on some shyt, and LeBron came out of nowhere to try to finish the alley oop, but he missed it. If that play gets completed it may be the GOAT play in basketball history.

Edit:


Less spectacular than I made it seem but still

[Jplaya2023]

2012 might be overall better team

But that 08 team had prime wade bron athletically
Just watch the first 4 minutes

lol 08 stomps 12 out

wade >>> anyone on 12 not named bron

08 kobe >>> everyone on 12 not named bron

dwight and bosh >>> whatever bigs on 12

Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Howard, Paul, Melo all in their athletic primes

I know its an unpopular opinion but I think they were the best Olympic team... all that athleticism with their playing style would have ran the 92 squad ragged. But that's another thread

1. 92
2. 96
3. 08
4. 12 or 00

 

[Flight]

Man you just knew Wade was going to have a great season after those Olympics.

Yeah, this is one of my favorite basketball memories of all time. Being able to witness this team during those games. It was a great summer too. I think the 08 gets the edge too.
