DREAM TEAM
The men's national basketball team of the United States competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, and won the gold medal. Nicknamed the "Dream Team", it was the first American Olympic team to include active professional players from the National Basketball Association (NBA). Team USA defeated its opponents by an average of 44 points during the tournament. The team has often been described as the greatest sports team ever assembled.
The team was collectively inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2009, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010, and the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2017. The Naismith Hall of Fame calls the team "the greatest collection of basketball talent on the planet". In addition to the team induction, 11 players and three coaches have been inducted individually into the Naismith Hall of Fame.
