The Dream Team
Yes. The 1992 Barcelona Olympics was an event that’s memorable for the sport, Basketball. It was when the following athletes competed:
- Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns
- Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics
- Clyde Drexler of the Portland Trail Blazers
- Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks
- Magic Johnson, retired, formerly of the Los Angeles Lakers
- Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls
- Christian Laettner of Duke University
- Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz
- Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors
- Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls
- David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs
- John Stockton of the Utah Jazz
Coached by Chuck Daly of the New Jersey Nets.
Final standing of the US Basketball Team, 8-0. So, yea — they took home the gold. Hahahaha. I can only imagine how their opponents may have felt when they were playing them. Stunned and star-struck. Great times. :D

funny how it never dawned on me that this blog was the olympics (and other world sporting event) blog… what a shame since we belong to the same channel haha
Ah the 1992 dream team. It’s was the best ever dream team sent. It was really a great team! It’s in the hall of fame if I’m not mistaken.
The 1992 olympics was the first time professionals were allowed to participate so guess what, the US team formed a team of NBA stars and took the Olympics by storm.
