00:00But could the case be made that the roster that you'll take to France has every bit the

00:05skill and the depth as that dream team, given that you've got 12 all-stars and four MVPs?

00:11I mean, I think it's arguably, since 92, since that original dream team, it's arguably the

00:19most decorated team that Team USA has ever fielded.

00:24I think the difference, obviously, is that, and the reason that 92 team was inducted into

00:30the Hall of Fame together is because they changed the game of basketball.

00:36They turned it into a global game.

00:38I mean, Chuck Daly never called a single timeout during those games.

00:42They didn't have any competition when it came down to it.

00:46But what they did was they ushered in this era of global basketball.

00:49Now you've got teams around the world that are capable of beating us.

00:53Our guys know that.

00:55The world has gotten so much better.

00:57You've got teams like Germany and France and Serbia and so many others who are churning

01:04out NBA players year after year.

01:07So it's a different era, different time, but we're excited about the roster we have.

01:12And I know all those guys can't wait to compete.
