  • Olympic Episode | part 2
    Aug 4 2024

    On this bonus episode of NBA Now and Then, Lucas, Ben, Maurice, Winston, and Uriah compare two of the most spectacular teams to ever take a basketball court: the 1992 Dream Team and the 2008 Redeem Team.

    They discuss the players on each team and also mention players who were excluded that should have made it.

    The principal themes include the players' performances and legacies, the impact of being on the Olympic team, and the coaching strategies. The 1992 Dream Team is regarded as one of the greatest basketball teams of all time, with players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. The 2008 Redeem Team was formed to restore the United States' dominance in basketball after a disappointing performance in 2004. The team included Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade.

    For months, we have been objective in our comparisons, but for this episode we reveal our personal picks. If players from each comparison were to be selected over the other in the same draft, who would we pick? Damian Lillard over Reggie Miller? James Harden over Allen Iverson? Jayson Tatum over Paul Pierce? We look back at these comparisons, along with all of the others, and explain who we would choose and why.

    We also reflect on our most memorable episodes and laugh it up at our favorite bloopers. In the end, we list several comparison episodes that will be released in the fall for season two.
