History

Historical Context

When FIBA opened Olympic play to NBA players in 1989, USA Basketball built the 1992 Barcelona Dream Team—Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird among 12 stars. The squad captured gold with a 44-point average margin and a 117.3-point per-game average, later entering the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame (2009) and Naismith Hall of Fame (2010). Today’s versatile scorers echo that dominance.
