President Obama said Monday that while Team USA basketball will probably win Olympic gold, the 1992 Dream Team was better.

"This is a generational thing. I was around in '92. I was a Bulls fan," Obama said in a court side interview with ESPN. "I've gotta go with the original Dream Team."

Basketball star Kobe Bryant said this week that the 2012 team might possibly best the 1992 team in terms of talent. That 1992 "Dream Team" has often been called the best basketball team ever assembled, with such superstars as Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson.
