Even with this year’s Team USA as stacked as it is, name recognition might be even greater for 1992‘s Dream Team.
If you’ve spent just about any amount of time following the NBA, you’re bound to have some memory of (or for the younger generation, some YouTube experience with) every member of the roster:
Barkley, Michael Jordan, Malone, Chris Mullin, Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Christian Laettner and John Stockton.
Except for perhaps Magic and Stockton, both of whom were either dealing with or recovering from injuries for part of the Olympics, everyone on this roster could’ve dominated any opponent in the 1992 field. In whatever minutes they got, they typically did.
