The significance of the dream team

Since 1992, almost all American national men's basketball teams are composed of NBA players, so they have been named as "dream teams". "Dream Team" is the nickname of American basketball team since 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Since this session, the American NBA professional league has sent professional players representing the highest level in the world, so it is called "dream team". In the past, the Olympic Games was a non-commercial sports event, so professional players under the business alliance of NBA were banned from participating for a long time. This taboo was broken from 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, and the American basketball team organized the American team led by Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. Their superb skills and invincible skills made the men's basketball team a performance without suspense. Later, people called this team the Dream Team. Since then, the United States has organized NBA players to become the American national team, and has had two or three dreams.

In a narrow sense, the dream team usually refers to the American men's basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Because this team included almost all the top basketball players in the NBA at that time, it was later called the strongest basketball team in sports history, that is, the dream team.

Of course, the emergence of this dream team is due to the help of FIBA to some extent. 1989, FIBA changed the original rules of the game and allowed professional players to participate in international basketball events for the first time. Therefore, the American Basketball Association immediately recruited a large number of excellent players from the NBA and formed a brand-new American national men's basketball team.

Since then, this team has won six regional qualifiers in the United States, and let the world appreciate the strength of American basketball. So the dream team finally became the representative of the American men's basketball team and got the opportunity to participate in the Barcelona Olympic Games.

At the same time, the dream team in a broad sense refers to all previous American men's basketball teams that have represented the United States in the World Basketball Championship and the Olympic Games since 1992 (note: teams that have participated in the 1998 World Basketball Championship are generally not considered as dream teams).

In fact, the dream team has witnessed the arrogance and pride of Americans to some extent, because not any American team can be called a dream team. With the rapid development of international basketball, American basketball has lost its past dominance. If you don't want the dream team to be a joke, the American Basketball Association still has a lot to do. The American basketball team was called the dream team from 1992. 1988, the American national team headed by david robinson played as a college team for the last time and lost the Seoul Olympic Games. This made the American Basketball Association decide to form a national team with NBA players as the team, so as to show the top prestige of the United States in the world basketball world. So, 1992, the American Basketball Association found the best players in the NBA at that time and formed a team that was recognized as the best in history. Because this collection is mainly based on famous players, the players are older. Except Ratner, who is still studying at Duke University, all the other players are in their prime. The youngest players are david robinson and Scott Pippen, both of whom are 27 years old. Other players, such as Jordan, stockton, Buckley, Mullin and Ewing, are all over 30, while Magic and Bird are veterans over 33. This team swept all the NBA superstars at that time, including 10 famous players who were selected into the top 50 NBA great players. So that the magician joked before the contest that if he could not win the championship, the whole team would commit suicide. But due to some details, there are still some controversies.

Because the first All-Star Game didn't pass the ball to Jordan and led Detroit Pistons to suppress bulls for many years, Pistons leader isiah thomas had a bad feeling towards Jordan. When the Dream Team was recruited, Jordan publicly claimed to the Basketball Association that he was sworn in with Thomas. The greatest point guard in the late 1980s passed by the Dream Team. In fact, tim hardaway and kevin johnson, the outstanding point guards in the league at that time, were recognized as having the strength to enter the dream team, while chris mullin and Ratner who were finally selected were not convinced by the public. This is also the only defect of Dream Team 1. However, this did not prevent them from sweeping their opponents by 44 points and winning the title of 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Buckley averaged 18 points and became the killer of Dream Team 1. At that time, all the teams in the world were proud to get the signatures of the members of Dream Team 1 when they competed with Dream Team 1. Dream Team 1 game can get nearly 60% shooting percentage, and at the same time, it will push the opponent's shooting percentage to 36%, winning 44 points per game and winning 32 points at least once.
