Kobe Bryant believed the 2012 Team USA had a real shot at the 1992 Dream Team: "To sit there and say we can't, it's ludicrous"

Kobe Bryant believed the 2012 Team USA had a real shot at the 1992 Dream Team: "To sit there and say we can't, it's ludicrous" originally appeared on Basketball Network. In 2012, Kobe Bryant joined a squad loaded with future Hall of Famers on Team USA's Olympic roster heading to London. With that kind of star power, the inevitable question came up: could this team go head-to-head with the legendary 1992 Dream Team? As the squad's leader and most seasoned player, Kobe's take on the matter was highly anticipated. His verdict? A clear, confident yes — no doubt he and teammates like LeBron James and Kevin Durant could hold their own. No team is untouchable Bryant spent over two decades in the NBA, learning one clear truth: on the right night, sometimes everything has to align perfectly, and anyone can beat anyone. Of course, the gap between the 2012 and 1992 Team USA squads wasn't massive — not quite David vs. Goliath. Still, the point remains that there are instances when underdogs rise and favorites fall — whether over a full season or a single game. With that in mind, the Black Mamba was confident that in a one-and-done game, nothing was guaranteed. In fact, he was so sure that he fired sharp words at doubters. "People who think we can't beat that team for one game, they're crazy," remarked Bryant, per ESPN. "To sit there and say we can't, it's ludicrous." To back it up, the Los Angeles Lakers icon pointed to a forgotten footnote in basketball history. "They got beat by a college select team once. Doesn't mean we're a better team than them, but s—, we can beat them one time," he said, referencing Team USA's loss to a group of NCAA players on June 24, 1992. It was a reminder: even a roster with 11 future Hall of Famers like Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Karl Malone wasn't invincible after Dream Team debate Kobe's take carried weight — unlike most of his younger teammates, he said he had actually witnessed the Dream Team dominate the Olympics in Barcelona. But nostalgia didn't dull his edge. Had he faced them, Bryant noted he would've gone hunting. His Team USA teammate Chris Paul shared the same mindset. "I was 7 at the time," said the Point God. "Even though I don't remember all the games, I used to collect all the [basketball] cards. But let me tell you something: As long as you know me, as long as I'm playing this game, you'll never hear me say that I think any man can beat me." Hypotheticals like this ignite debate — CP knew Kobe's comment would stir one. However, he also understood that if his fellow player had said the opposite, it'd have made headlines too. "What's he (Bryant) supposed to say if you guys ask him?" Paul asked. "Tell me what everybody would have said if Kobe said, 'We can't beat 'em.'" Not everyone viewed it as level-headed, sparking back-and-forth debates in the media. However, one 1992 Dream Team member took a measured tone, avoiding a cross-generational dispute. "This is starting to look a lot like our 1992 Dream Team. I look forward to watching them continue to drive for that gold medal and bring it home for the USA," Magic Johnson remarked early in the 2012 Olympics. That's exactly what they did — Kobe, CP3 and a stacked Team USA outlasted Spain 107–100 in the story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 26, 2025, where it first appeared.

"Luka just LeBroned LeBron. Just fed him some of his own PR medicine" - Skip Bayless says he feels sorry for LeBron James after all the Doncic craze

"Luka just LeBroned LeBron. Just fed him some of his own PR medicine" - Skip Bayless says he feels sorry for LeBron James after all the Doncic craze originally appeared on Basketball Network. Even though we are still in the quietness of the offseason, when most NBA players are either grinding away on their craft or relaxing somewhere while watching their favorite horse win a race, the Los Angeles Lakers are once again the talk of the town. And it is all because of Luka Doncic. First, the Slovenian sensation has shown up in internet clips looking slimmer than ever, while also adding some muscle. Then he ended up on the cover of "Men's Health" magazine. Who would have thought? And as the cherry on top, the Purple and Gold organization rewarded their new poster boy with a max deal, reportedly three years for $165 million. All of this led to one very obvious conclusion. One guy suddenly fell down in the Lakers' pecking order, and that guy is LeBron James. Skip feels sorry for LeBron? When it comes to LeBron, nobody has been more relentless than Skip Bayless. For years, the outspoken analyst has made a career out of criticizing every move The King makes. Anything James does, good or bad, doesn't go unnoticed. But this time, Bayless surprised everyone by taking things a step further, claiming that he actually feels bad for the all-time leading scorer. "Allow me to tell you why I now feel sorry for LeBron James," the analyst began his rant. "Luka just LeBroned LeBron. Just fed him some of his own PR medicine, which made LeBron shrink and go quiet and disappear." To make matters even more interesting, just days ago, in the middle of all this Luka frenzy, James took to social media and posted himself working out in a gym. Not just any gym, but at the Clippers' facility. Not the Lakers, the team that he won a championship with and is still a member of, but their cross-town rivals. You can only imagine how much fuel that "move" added to Bayless' fire. "Man, that sounded bitter. And I can't blame him. As LeBron posted these pictures, earlier this past week, Luka was in the process of flexing on LeBron the way LeBron has often flexed on so many co-stars of his," Skip continued his barrage. "Luka, as you know, now went crash diet bootcamping in Croatia and outshaped even LeBron. He got even more ripped than LeBron. I don't know, there may have been even some photoshopping. Luka even did media manipulation on LeBron, the number 1 media manipulator," he pointed Lakers are, as always, gunning for gold Whether LeBron truly feels slighted by Lakers management for giving Luka the spotlight, or this is just another one of Skip's signature rants that has little to do with reality, remains to be seen. What is clear is that the Lakers seem intent on making serious noise this campaign. Sure, their front office and fans say that before every season, but this time it feels different. Truth be told, Los Angeles hasn't had a more complete roster since its Bubble Championship. They added a much-needed center in Deandre Ayton and boosted their rotation and defense with the additions of Marcus Smart and Jake LaRavia. With LeBron and Luka, yes, the duo is still together, steering the ship, it might just be what the doctor ordered for one of the most storied franchises in the Association. If anything, this new dynamic has made the Lakers more interesting than ever, and if Skip is suddenly feeling sorry for LeBron, you know the NBA world is in for a wild story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
