The United States National Basketball Team is the international representative for the United States of America. They are also commonly known as The Dream Team, the unofficial nickname of the United States men's basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. That team is often regarded as the greatest collection of talent on one competitive basketball team.[1] [2] [3] Image File history File links Usabasketbalogoll. ...

Two years later, a second "Dream Team" competed in the 1994 Basketball World Championships, finishing first. In 1996 and 2000, Dream Teams III and IV once again captured gold medals. (No Dream Team competed in the 1998 World Championships as an NBA lockout prevented its players from competing.) Though the nickname was bestowed by some upon subsequent American national teams, the performances of the 2002 World Championship and 2004 Summer Olympic teams (which finished sixth and third, respectively) all but denied it, and perhaps future teams, the right to the "Dream Team" nickname. The 2004 team lost three games on its way to a bronze medal, a record that represented more losses in a single year than the country's Olympic teams had suffered in all previous Olympiads combined.

1972 Olympics (Munich)

Without question, the 1972 Olympic men's basketball gold medal game is the most controversial in Olympic history. Trailing 49-48 to the USSR, Doug Collins sank 2 free throws to put the Americans up 50-49 with three seconds left. However, the horn sounded before Collin's second free throw.


Immediately following Collins' free throws, the Soviets inbounded the ball and failed to score. But one official had whistled play to stop with one second remaining after hearing the earlier horn and seeing a disturbance near the scorers table. The Soviets argued that they had requested a timeout before Collins' foul shots. The referees ordered the clock reset to three seconds and the game's final seconds replayed. However, the clock was in the process of being reset when the referees put the ball in play. A length of the court Soviet pass missed its mark, the horn sounded and the U.S. again began celebrating.


However, R. William Jones, Secretary General of FIBA, stepped in and ordered the clock again reset to 0:03 and the game replayed from that point. This time, the Soviet's Aleksander Belov and the USA's Kevin Joyce and Jim Forbes went up for the pass, Belov caught the long pass from Ivan Edeshko at the foul line sending the two Americans sprawling, Belov then drove to the basket for the layup and the winning points. Post-game, the U.S. filed a protest and FIBA officials met to discuss the protest. The U.S. protest was denied and the Soviets were awarded the gold medals. The U.S. team voted unanimously to refuse their silver medals.


This game marked the first ever loss for Team USA in Olympic play, ending a winning streak of 63 games and 7 gold medals.

1998 World Championship Team

The American team that competed in the 1998 World Championships in Athens, Greece is not considered a Dream Team, as none of its players were current members of NBA teams. Because of a labor dispute that led to a lockout, no NBA players were permitted to compete in the tournament. This unheralded team, composed largely of players from the minor-league Continental Basketball Association, captured a bronze medal—considered a solid achievement given the team's complete lack of top-notch talent.

2000 Olympic Basketball Team

During the late 1990s, international basketball began to gather attention as more and more foreign players became stars in the NBA. Therefore, Dream Team IV had the enormous task of proving that American basketball was the best in the world. The new team that was assembled again featured NBA players, but this time few of them were considered to be true superstars, as several elite players elected not to participate. Since the team was more ordinary than a collection of the greatest ever to play, and not much better than other teams in the tournament, many fans do not believe that the name "Dream Team" should apply[citation needed] and instead use the term 2000 US Men's Basketball Team.

2004 US Men's Basketball Team

The humiliating outcome in 2002 prompted a number of NBA superstars to agree to join the team for the 2003 Tournament of the Americas, which the squad was required to participate in to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics. The team easily cruised to a first-place finish, earning it a spot in Athens, Greece the following summer. The 2004 Summer Olympicsor ´Welcome Home,Gamesor officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, were held in Athens, Greece, over a period of 17 days from August 13 to August 29, 2004. ...

However, the dominant team that competed in 2003 could not be kept together. Primarily due to security concerns, 10 of its 12 players elected not to participate in Athens, causing USA Basketball to scramble to fill their places. The revamped 2004 US Men's Basketball Team generally consisted of either young NBA players early in their careers, or veteran players thought to be somewhat beneath superstar status. The only established superstars on the team were Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson—not coincidentally, the only two players left from the 2003 roster.

Although this team was occasionally called a "Dream Team" because it was composed of NBA players, it is likely that the media will end the use of that nickname after its performance. Indeed, some media outlets took to calling it the "Nightmare Team." Many people criticized both Larry Brown and the players for a lack of dedication to the team. The 2004 US Men's Basketball Team was defeated by Italy by 17 points in an exhibition game in Cologne, Germany; two days later, also in Cologne, the US team needed a long Iverson three-pointer to keep its friendly game against Germany from going into overtime. For the very first time, the world saw that in fact a team composed of American players who played in the NBA was beatable. The vulnerability of the Americans was confirmed on August 15, 2004 when Puerto Rico defeated them 92–73 in the very first game of the 2004 Olympics in Athens. It was only the third Olympic basketball defeat ever in the history of the United States and the first one for a American team composed of professionals. Carlos Arroyo of Puerto Rico led the attack in the game, which suggested that the level of international basketball had caught up with that of the United States.

After winning close games against Greece and Australia, the U.S. team lost another game against Lithuania, dropping to 2–2 in the Olympic tournament.

Even though it managed to win easily against Angola, 89–53, because of the goal average rules 2004 US Men's Basketball Team entered the quarterfinal round in 4th place, the lowest seed of their group. The Americans faced undefeated Spain in their quarterfinal game and finally put up a dominant performance. Led by Stephon Marbury's 31 points, the 2004 US Men's Basketball Team defeated the Spaniards 102–94, eliminating them from medal contention. Stephon Xavier Marbury (born February 20, 1977 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American professional basketball player, currently playing point guard with the New York Knicks. ...


Any momentum gained from that victory was lost a game later, however, as the team was defeated by Argentina, led by Duncan's teammate Manu Ginobili, 89–81 in the semifinals, ending the Dream Team's lock on the gold medal. The 2004 US Men's Basketball Team ended the Olympics with a 104–96 win over Lithuania to win the bronze medal. It marked only the third time that an American team failed to win gold, and the first time for a American team composed of professionals. Before 2004, American teams had only lost two games in all previous Olympic tournaments, whereas in this one the American team lost three.

2006-2008 US Men's Basketball Team

Following the failure of the previous "Dream Teams", USA Basketball decided to move in a different direction. It appointed Jerry Colangelo to be solely responsible for selecting the team. Colangelo made it clear that he would ask players for a three-year commitment—the 2006 Worlds and the 2008 Summer Olympics. The head coach picked is Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski with assistants Jim Boeheim, Mike D'Antoni, and Nate McMillan. While some prominent players, such as Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett have already stated that they do not plan to play for the team, superstars Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and Shawn Marion have publicly announced their commitment for the 2006 Worlds and the 2008 Summer Olympics. Iverson, however, despite being the captain for the 2004 Olympic team, was not invited to train with the team as well as Houston Rockets All-Star Tracy McGrady.
