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.
