In this episode, Kelsey and Gen take on We Beat the Dream Team, highlighting a 1992 scrimmage where a group of “college players” beat the most famous basketball team ever assembled. These were the same players who would have gone to the Olympics if not for the rule change allowing NBA players to compete. Are there unexpected personal connections? Yes. Is there gratuitous side-eye? Also yes.
