So is it the 1992 USA basketball team with Johnson, Bird, Jordan, Ewing, etc.?

The 1996 team with Shaq, Olajuwon, etc.?

Or the 2000 team with Carter, Mourning, etc?

An average of 43.7 ppg to be exact. Still below the Team USA Olympic record of 53.5 (WHOA) set by the 1956 squad.

Yeah, the rest of the world crapped in their pants when they heard that Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird were going to be on the same team.

You knew who was going to get the gold medal. The rest of the world was only playing for the silver and bronze medals.

The 1st ever dream team, for sure. Almost everyone is (or going to be) a Hall of Famer, except Christian Lattener....

Definitely a no contest. Dream Team 1 is definitely the real dream team. They compiled the best players in history.

Isn't the answer obvious? The DREAM TEAM with MJ, Magic, Bird, Barkley, Stockton, and all those other great players. They just dominated and they just made their opponents feel like they should quit bball and go home.

The olimpics is for amateur/pro, not just a dominating team. The 1992 team was messed up in my opinion, but I loved watching them play.
IT'S AN EMERGENCY! CALL FOUR ONE ONE NOW!
