Shout out to Gui Santos, who is playing for Brazil (and is Green’s teammate on the Warriors). But they have no chance, they will lose by about 35 or 40 points and we will advance to the semifinals”, said the player.

Among the factors that put Brazil below the Dream Team, Draymond Green drew attention to the advanced age of the Brazilian squad. “To be honest, Brazil doesn’t have enough (to win). They are old, they have some very old guys on the team, they don’t have Leandro Barbosa or Anderson Varejao anymore. They have to rebuild the team with young players,” stated.

Finally, Green compared the North American squad to the legitimate Dream Team, which won the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. “The greatest American basketball team of all time is believed to be the 1992 Dream Team.
