That whole thing turned out much cooler than I thought it would when it was announced. Those players were Americans who didn't like the rest of the world thinking it could beat us at our game. So they truly saw themselves as representing the country. Incredible what has happened to attitudes since then.

Our pubic schools, colleges, universities, Hollywood and MSM put their cultural Marxist indoctrination & propaganda on steroids since the 1990’s.

Up until the Dream Team, Basketball was considered ‘an American Game’. Certainly that is the way we regarded it, and I’m sure that is the way most of the world saw it up to that point.
But now Basketball is played a high-level in several parts of the world. And a few of these places can field an Olympic team that can beat an NBA All-star squad. The players’ attitudes are driven by the NBA’s attempts to market the game all over the globe.
