Barcelona 1992 marked the first time that NBA players could compete in men’s basketball at the Olympic Games. The USA responded by sending a “Dream Team” of legendary players in what is considered one of the best sports teams ever assembled.
Widely credited with propelling the popularity of basketball internationally, the 1992 “Dream Team” captivated the world and dominated the Olympic tournament. Averaging an Olympic record 117.3 points a game, the USA squad won by an average of 43.8 points a game. The closest any opponent could come was 32 points (117-85 versus Croatia in the gold medal game).
"You will see a team of professionals in the Olympics again," said 1992 USA head coach Chuck Daly. "But I don't think you'll see another team quite like this. This was a majestic team."
The full USA Basketball “Dream Team” roster brought together Hall of Famers Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Christian Laettner, Karl Malone, Chris Mullin, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson and John Stockton. Daly served as head coach and was joined on the U.S. bench by assistant coaches P.J. Carlesimo, Mike Krzyzewski, and Lenny Wilkens.
