It seems almost everyone in the world has voiced their opinion on who would win between the 1992 Barcelona Olympic winning ‘Dream Team’, and their 2012 London counterparts, so why shouldn’t the leader of the free world give his too? After all, the man knows more about basketball than some television analysts. President Obama says the ’92 teams wins hands down.
“This is a generational thing,” Obama said during a halftime interview with ESPN2 as it broadcast an exhibition game Monday night with Brazil at Washington’s Verizon Center. “I was around in ’92, I was a Bulls fan, so I’ve got to go with the original Dream Team.”
“I suspect that Michael and ‘Sir Charles’ and others would point out they were probably never down at any point in any of their games,” Obama said. “But this is a great team, unbelievable talent.”
The president added: “You know, Kobe’s a competitor, so you expect him to do a little trash talking whenever the opportunity arises.”
