History

Historical Context

After the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the U.S. “Dream Team”—the first NBA-filled squad—won gold and sparked a surge in global interest, raising the number of international NBA players from 23 in the 1991-92 season to 74 by 2011-12. That worldwide spotlight also highlighted security gaps, prompting the NBA to tighten arena protocols following a fan intrusion during the 2026 Finals.
