Dream team
"They were the Beatles of basketball, the Mercury Seven in sneakers. In Dream Team, acclaimed sports journalist Jack McCallum delivers the untold story of the greatest team ever assembled: the 1992 U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team that captivated the world, kindled the hoop dreams of countless children around the planet, and remade the NBA into a global sensation. As a senior staff writer for Sports Illustrated, McCallum enjoyed a courtside seat for the most exciting basketball spectacle on earth, covering the Dream Team from its inception to the gold medal ceremony in Barcelona. For the duration of the Olympics, he lived with, golfed with, and--most important--drank with some of the greatest players of the NBA's Golden Age: Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Charles Barkley.Presiding over the entire traveling circus was the Dream Team's beloved coach, Chuck Daly, whose laissez-faire approach proved instrumental in getting the most out of such disparate personalities and superstars such as Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, and Scottie Pippen. Drawing on fresh interviews with the players, McCallum provides the definitive account of the Dream Team phenomenon. dream Team was: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls; Magic Johnson, Los Angeles Lakers; Larry Bird, Boston Celtics; Charles Barkley, Phoenix Suns; Chris Mullin, Golden State Warriors; Scottie Pippen, Chicago Bulls; John Stockton, Utah Jazz; Karl Malone, Utah Jazz; David Robinson, San Antonio Spurs; Patrick Ewing, New York Knicks; Christian Laettner, duke University; Clyde Drexler,Portland Trailblazers"--Provided by publisher.
