The current team has generated comparisons with the famous ‘Dream Team’ of the 1992 Games which won gold with a quintet that is fondly remembered as
the best team in history, and led by no less than by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird to name a few...
Today, 32 years after those legendary performances in Barcelona, it is the turn of the new generation of stars to write their own legend. However, one fact that stands out is the number of NBA players that Team USA will be up against.
At the 1992 Barcelona Games, just five players were active in North American basketball. By 2024, the list has grown to over 30 players. It’s a situation that has prompted discussion about whether the league is better now that it was three decades ago.
