In an interview, Magic Johnson shared the behind-the-scenes story of how he convinced Michael Jordan to join the 1992 Dream Team. At the time, Jordan was already a global superstar and the face of the NBA, but he initially hesitated to commit to the Olympic team. Magic, understanding the importance of having Jordan on the roster, took a personal approach to persuade him.

  1. It was special because there was three juggernauts that had the opportunity to be on the same team with Larry, Magic, and M.J. don't get me wrong, the others were great, but those three were in the elite of the elite and for those three to be there is what made it special

  2. As you may all know, the current USA basketball team in the Olympics is trying to create the narrative that they can beat this DREAM TEAM. While "pundits" and some of those players are making match-up comparisons, my only point is how the current team will match DT's intensity and mental toughness. There is and was and always will be only ONE true Dream Team and this is it!
