This team -- assembled for the '92 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain -- is simply the most overwhelming collection of talent in the history of international competition, with ten of the above-pictured listed among the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History.

One story told of a player who broke down in tears because of the elation he felt over the honor of being fouled by his American idol, Michael Jordan.

Numerous squads have carried the moniker, but there is only one Dream Team. They will always be the best.
