Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: My Gold Medal is My Most Prized Possession

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Oscar De La Hoya can’t quite believe it has been basically 20 years since he captivated American sports fans by winning a gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

“The Golden Boy” — inspired to capture gold by the passing of his mother, Cecilia, in October 1990 —launched one of the most lucrative, successful careers in boxing history in Barcelona.

Watching the 1992 dream team as a little kid is something I'll remember for the rest of my life, they were simply the BEST. The way they schooled every other country by 30 or 40 points in every game without even trying was amazing. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Isiah Thomas, David Robinson, John Stockton. G.O.A.T. I cant believe Kobe had the nerve to say that they could beat the dream team. HA HA WHAT AN ASS CLOWN!!!
