words \/\/ Nick DePaula:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

To this day, I still think the ’96 US Olympic team could beat the ’92 Dream Team<\/a>. They simply had more players in their prime, and a dominant duo with Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O’Neal inside.<\/p>\n

While that debate might be never-ending, another hot take we’re\u00a0pretty confident about is the ’96 team winning the Kicks On Court battle. With classics like the Air More and Air Much Uptempo, Zoom Flight 96, signature Barkleys and Grant Hills all hitting the ATL hardwood, it’d be quite a head-to-head matchup against the Air Jordan VII, Air Force 180 and Air Ballistic Force worn by the ’92 Dream Team in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Check out all of the best Kicks On Court<\/a> worn by the ’96 Team USA roster below, and enjoy a bonus image at the end of a prime Shaq taking on a young Tim Duncan during a Select Team scrimmage.<\/p>\n
