David Cozette, voice of the French basketball team, and LeBron James
Monaco Info (DR) / Chaz NBA (DR)

LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid… When you see the group selected by Steve Kerr, you think that the comparison with the 1992 Dream Team is legitimate. But for commentator David Cozette, that would be blasphemy.

On paper, this United States team is by far the most talented in the Olympic basketball tournament.

So yes, the rest of the world has progressed enormously in recent years and selections like France and Canada could create a surprise…

But when you look at the prestige of the names present in Steve Kerr’s group, it’s hard not to dream.

At 39, LeBron James appears to be on a mission to win one last gold medal before retiring from international football, and he’s all the more motivated as he shares the court for the first time with Stephen Curry, his former arch-nemesis.

Add Kevin Durant to the equation and you have a trio made up entirely of all-time Top 15 players.

David Cozette destroys comparisons between Dream Team and Team USA

For some observers and fans, the comparison with the 1992 Dream Team is totally legitimate in terms of talent.

A vision to which David Cozette, the voice of the French team for many years, does not subscribe.

For him, no group will ever be able to claim to be the equal of Michael Jordan’s gang.

For legendary commentator David Cozette, comparing this Team USA with the Barcelona team is almost blasphemous.

No Jrue Holiday or Derrick White at the time, only number 1 options, MVPs and Hall of Famers.

A vision shared by many, but which perhaps reflects a nostalgic bias…

Is Anthony Edwards much less good than a Clyde Drexler? Anthony Davis than a Chris Mullin?

For David Cozette and many fans, it is impossible to compare this Team USA and Michael Jordan’s Dream Team. In the end, only the field will be able to be a judge of peace and decide between these two legendary groups.
