The 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball
team, nicknamed the "Dream Team", was the first American Olympic team to
feature active professional players from the National Basketball
Association (NBA). The team has been described by journalists around the
world as the greatest sports team ever assembled. Eleven of its players
and three of its coaches were eventually inducted into the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
At the 1992 Summer Olympics
held in Barcelona, the team defeated its opponents by an average of 44
points en route to the gold medal against Croatia.
In 2010, the
team itself was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame. The Hall calls
the team "the greatest collection of basketball talent on the planet".
