Dražen Petrovic and the Croatians never had a chance.

Ridiculous that Shaq wasn’t on that team

It must have been really embarrassing to be a fan of another country.

How did Laettner get on the team? That selection is curious when everyone else were established NBA stars.

I just remember watching that team and being in complete awe of the amount of talent on the court. Everyone knew they were going to win gold. Everyone knew they would go undefeated through the tournament. But to see them do it was something that you couldn’t even imagine.

That team is responsible for the Euro invasion into the NBA.

Also on this date;
In 1920, the Tigers beat the Yankees 1-0 in 73 minutes the shortest AL game ever.
In 1987, Rob Deer, the original Joey Gallo, struck out five times.
In 1997, Randy Johnson struck out 19 White Sox

Never noticed before but even Patrick Ewing looks like he hates Laettner in this picture.

Laettner was so out of place on that team. Shaq would have broken some goals in Barcelona.

Such an iconic team, too bad we never got to see Larry and Magic strut their stuff for an olympic team in their prime but Jordan, Barkley, Mullin, and Pippen are sufficient
