I have been waiting for a month to watch it and was not disappointed. My wife and I watched it last night and it was awesome. I really enjoyed seeing all of that practice footage. I also enjoyed getting some of the backstories like Barkley being a fan favorite in Barcelona and Stockton getting off the bus with his family while they were stuck in traffic and just walking around blending in with the crowd not being recognized. I also didn't realize and can't fathom MJ playing 36 holes of golf everday with Coach Chuck and then playing games every night. I could go on and on and on about things but I'll ask you guys. Did ya watch it? Did yo enjoy it?

    If anyone has it recorded and is able to burn it onto a DVD....I would forever be indebted to you!

    I was in basic training and then stayed in training and deployment during the time the first dream team was playing in those olympics.

    So jealous of you Ryan! Now that was some basketball!

    That certainly was some basketball dude. I have it DVR'd but I dont have a way to burn it. I'm sure it'll be aired again. You mentioned basic training. What branch did you serve in? I"m asking because I'm waiting to leave for bmt with the Air Force.

    That is without a doubt the greatest team ever in any sport for all time. we will never see that again.

    i love Barkley's line. "I don't know much about Angola, but I know one thing, they're in a lot of trouble."

    and I love how Michael and Scottie shut down Kucoc and made it personal.

    Yea Barkley was/is hilarious man. The Dream Team rattled off like a 70-1 run during that game with Angola lol. And the MJ, Scottie, Kucoc thing was something I didn't know about before last night. I thought that was pretty awesome.By the time he joined them in Chicago they had a quite a history already! lol Bet there was some locker room ribbing going on constatnly with those guys lol.

    I am so sad I missed it. I have been trying to remember to watch it for weeks and then I was out too late. I am hoping it wil repeat a few times because I need to see it.

    I'm sure it'll replay several times. I also loved seing the footage and the background of the 1st ever game they Dream Team ever played together and how they struggled and lost to the college kids. Man how many studs were on that college team?! lol Grant Hill, Webber, Hurley, etc. That team was legit.

    Brought back memories. The college team that they practiced against coulda went over and done some damage as well.
