A 17-year-old Dražen and a 19-year-old Michael played against each other for the first time, but they weren’t matched up. Drazen’s older brother Aleksandar was assigned to guard Jordan, and fighting for a position on the National Team, Aco went 110% from the first whistle.

Ha! WOW! Never heard of this! Desperate people do desperate things.
If I play with a guy and I see that he is prone to hurting people:you can have this game, homie. I'm out.
Personal #1 Rule: Don't get hurt; don't hurt nobody else!

Why does Tony Kukoc’s rematch against team USA continue to be ignored?
There’s so much hype about the defense Jordan and Pippen put on the kid in their first meeting, yet nobody talks about how he put up his 2nd highest output of the Olympics in terms of points and assists
In today's game Drazen would kick serious ass… 3pt, FT, lay up's, damn I watched him as a kid and he was bigger then anyone in my eyes. When my friend told me Drazen died, I cried like a baby.
Good story.
I watched lived on TV that olympic Final, I remember that mkment when the croatian guy dunked…. I got excited but the sensation was that there real and unique Dream Team was unbeatable …..whatever else Dream Team could have beaten by that Croatia team ….but '92's was different
I didn't know that story about MJ and Drazen's brother ….. interesting
Wonder how that game went, did Aleksandr play outstanding defence against MJ or offence, or both?
Dell and Steph Curry!
Yeah, Aco beat him up so badly in that Zadar game that Jordan finished as a top scorer for the winning USA team with 24 points, while Aco had scored only 4. Maybe he literally "beat him up".
Wait a second. This is Steph Curry sitting on Dell's lab courtside?
1:32 – Nope, this is a straight up lie. Daly never called for a timeout throughout the entire tournament. If you don`t believe me check the game – the full game has been uploaded on YouTube. Here is a link with a timestamp – https://youtu.be/uDpq947cTqE?t=1390
lol the former Yugoslavia was not a former soviet republic.
Chuck Daly never called a timeout during olympic turnament and Spain led 4-0 against Dream Team. Watch the game man, there is no timeout. Inform yourself before doing the next video. Best wishes
Good for Drazen. Good player, no chance to win.
Drazen was a legend: I remember him very well, I was a teen back then with turkis-kurdish origin living in Germany. I got really sad, wen I heard he died in an car accident in Munich Germany.
Indeed, Drazen was a phenomenal player and a pleasure to watch. The best International Player I have seen.
Croatia was never a part of any Soviet republic as you mentioned at the beginning of the video.
I had the pleasure of watching Drazen daily, great player & pioneer that should not be forgotten
I was blessed to see both these guys live
