      The concentration of talent in this single photo will likely never be matched again

      Those matches were hilarious.

      As soon as it was over, players from the opposing team would rush the US players asking for autographs…

      Even if you aren’t a sports fan (I don’t care for basketball), I recommend the 30 For 30: I Hate Christian Laettner

      I used to have this picture but as a puzzle as a kid. Was like 200 pieces and I put it together every weekend at my dad’s house

      I lived in Panama in 1992. One of the janitors at my high school was on the Panamanian Olympic basketball team. They hung a picture of him playing against Michael Jordan in the hallway.

      I didn’t follow basketball at all but I worked at McDonalds and we had the special collector cups with individual players. Everyone was upset if we didn’t have the guy they were looking for. It was the adult male version of trying to get full sets of happy meal toys.

      I’m not even into basketball, but I know nearly all of the players in this pic..

      I still think Denis Rodman or Dominique Wilkins should have replaced Christian Laettner… just saying.

      I loved the 30:30 (?) about them where they showed the mobs of people trying to get a piece of Chuck and Michael. Then there’s Stockton, walking his entire family through a park/market with a camera, joking about how he can’t go anywhere without being mobbed (no one was recognizing him). He even stopped to chat with an American wearing a Dream Team shirt and asked her to point out her favorite players. she’s sort of going through the players while his kids are like “that’s my dad!!”.

      By all accounts, some of the greatest basketball ever played was in these guys’ scrimmages.

      This was an AWESOME time in basketball.

      Dream Team was amazing and a piece of legit world social history. The power these gentlemen had to spread basketball to two generations of European players is something we’re seeing the beginning results of today.

      Magic playing.

      The active Eastern Conferencers meeting a guy named Toni.

      Just a wild time. Great memories of a great summer!

      It was the first Olympics that professional basketball players were allowed play
