Group of Seven 1992 Olympic Dream Team Game Jerseys
From the start they were penciled in as the 1992 Olympic gold medalist team. The media, their opponents, and fans of basketball all agreed that this team would be unbeatable. And it was. Featuring basketball's best of the best, the U.S. men were never challenged as a new era of international basketball made its debut. International rules, which had previously prevented NBA players from being eligible for Olympic basketball, were changed by the FIBA membership on April 7, 1989, in favor of "open competition." With the rule change, USA Basketball set forth on its mission of assembling the best possible team, and what a team they assembled! Cruising through the Olympic qualifying tournament with an unblemished 6-0 record, the USA Olympic men's basketball team later strolled almost as easily past its Olympic opponents en route to an 8-0 record and the gold medal. Offered here are seven game jerseys from some of that teams most prolific members including; Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, Christian Laettner, Karl Malone, Chris Mullin, Scottie Pippen and David Robinson. Manufactured by Champion, all are exclusively tagged and completely original. All are white with the exception of Malone (blue). Appropriately, each shows evidence of light use and comes with an LOA from MEARS (all A5).
