Introduction
The U.S. basketball team that won gold in the 1992 Olympics has gone down in history as one of the greatest sports teams ever assembled.
In his 2012 book, Dream Team, author and sports writer Jack McCallum draws on his in-depth knowledge of the NBA, as well as the trust and access he's built with the players themselves, to lift the lid on the story of that historic Olympic tournament.
While there were many obstacles, from permission to play, difficulties with recruitment, and interpersonal challenges, the 'Dream Team' had a mind-blowingly dominant journey to success.
Told through anecdotes, interviews, and match analysis, McCallum's book provides an in-depth look at one of the greatest teams of all time.
