On August 1, Beijing time, the United States men's basketball team defeated the South Sudan men's basketball team 103-86, winning two games in the group stage. Recently, the topic of who is stronger in the current United States men's basketball team and the 92 Dream Team has continued to cause heated discussions, and former NBA star Pierce has also joined the discussion. He believes that this United States men's basketball team can dominate the Dream Team of 92 years, and believes that James and Curry can create problems for each other.

"This team will dominate the team in 1992 (Dream One). First of all, Larry Bird couldn't beat him, he was no longer good at that point, and neither was the Magician. Who are their best players? Michael · Jordan, obviously. But he's not even the best player at the Olympics, that's Charles Barkley. ”

"This team will dominate that team this year. Who will defend LeBron? Charles Barkley? Who will defend Stephen Curry? John Stockton? Who will defend Kevin Durant? Could it be Drexler? Pierce believes that the firepower of the United States men's basketball team is unstoppable by the 92 Dream Team.

According to the stats, the Dream Team averaged 43.8 points per game against their opponents at the 1992 Olympics and never asked for a timeout. However, the competitive environment faced by the two sides is also different. Some American media posted data that in the 1992 Olympic Games, in addition to the United States men's basketball team, there were only 9 NBA players in other teams, and in the 2024 Olympic Games. In addition to the United States men's basketball team, other teams have a total of 61 NBA players.

Previously, Mullin and Barkley, members of Dream One, have talked about this topic, and both believe that Dream One is obviously better than this United States team. Do you think the United States men's basketball team is stronger this time, or is the 1992 United States Dream team stronger? Feel free to leave a message to express your opinions.
