The Dream Team cruised to the gold medal under the late Chuck Daly without ever calling a timeout during the entire 1992 Olympic Games.

I never knew that. I would have thought that I would have read that somewhere else in the last 17+ years.

Shawn Kemp was not on the Dream Team.

I've never been a big fan of the Chicago Bulls but Michael Jordan was such an amazing player. I remember the 1992 Olympics and the Dream Team, that was a special team.

Isiah Thomas should have been on it, but Zeke pissed too many people off.

karl malone says that karl malone was the best player on the dream team!

Indeed. Apparently Larry Bird was the biggest voice against him. It's too bad because Isiah absolutely belonged on that team.

Christian Laettner

Shaquille O'Neal could have been on the team in any other year (and I believe he was considered for the original Dream Team), but Laettner was so awesome in college. I couldn't stand him, but he was damn good.

and the teams they played were?

Most definitely their opponents were not legit.

Who would win in a match up (7 game series) of:

Redeem Team (2008 US Olympic Men's Basketball Team, Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Howard, Melo, etc.)

Dream Team (Bird, Magic, Ewing, Mullin, Pippen, Jordan, etc.)

?
