    Basketball became a sport in the Summer Olympics in 1936, and the United States won gold in seven consecutive Olympics before the Soviet Union upset the U.S. in a controversial 51-50 finish in 1972. Communist countries used professional players while the United States played amateur players, and Yugoslavia won gold in 1980 and the Soviet Union in 1...

    On Feb. 18, 1991, the Sports Illustrated cover featured five members of the team in Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing with the words "Dream Team" across the front. It’s one of the most iconic covers in the magazine’s history and created excitement for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

    The cover preceded the selection show on Sept. 21, 1991, when the first 10 members of the "Dream Team"were announced. Here's the full roster of the 1992 "Dream Team" (in alphabetical order): 1. Charles Barkley, PF, Phoenix Suns The 11-time All-Star won NBA MVP honors in 1993 with the Phoenix Suns. 1. Larry Bird, SF, Boston Celtics The three-time NB...

    The "Last Dance" has rekindled the controversy with Detroit's Isiah Thomas, who was left off the team. Thomas was a 12-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion, but a feud with Jordan and Pippen stemming from their rivalry in the Eastern Conference was seen to be the root of the Detroit star being left off the team. LSU's Shaquille O’Neal, who was p...

    Detroit coach Chuck Daly was the head coach of the "Dream Team," which made the Thomas drama that much more intriguing. Lenny Wilkens, who ranks second all time in NBA history with 1,332 wins, was the assistant coach from the NBA ranks. Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Seton Hall coach P.J. Carlesimo were also on the staff.

    On June 28, 1992, Team USA opened with a 136-57 blowout against Cubain the Tournament of the Americas. That showed the Dream Team at full strength. They finished the Tournament of Americas with a 6-0 record and won those games by an average of 51.5 points per game.

    Charles Barkley led the Dream Team with 16.3 points per game and 6.7 rebounds per game. He is best-remembered for his response to a question he was asked about Angola before the first game in the Olympics. "I don't know anything about Angola," Barkley said. "But Angola's in trouble."

    The Dream Team — especially the impact of Jordan’s popularity — helped contribute to the globalization of basketball in the NBA. Foreign players have become a huge part of the game. Yao Ming and Andrea Bargnani have been No. 1 picks, and Dirk Nowitzki and Giannis Antetokounmpo have won the NBA MVP award since. Team USA also have dominated Olympic B...
