At the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the Dream Team led by Jordan shone on the field, with 8 wins, more than 100 points in each game, and an average of 43.8 points per game, and won the Olympic gold medal in an unstoppable way.
Although the Dream Team has three epoch-making superstars — Jordan, Bird and Magician — back in time to 1991, when Magic was diagnosed with HIV before the start of the season, Bird was battling back injuries, and in fact their most dependent leader was Jordan, who led the Bulls to the first championship trophy in team history.
Jackie MacMullan, a well-known basketball journalist and sports writer, has known Jordan for more than 30 years, and Jordan has revealed his heart to her more than once, telling her about his growth. Recently, he talked about the biggest reason why Jordan decided to join the Dream Team in one of his podcasts - to observe opponents.
"Look, the only reason I go there to play is to watch how they compete. I know you, have heard it, read it, and I want to see how other people are playing, how they train without a camera. Jordan said.
If we look back at the list of the Dream Team now, we will find that what Jackie MacMullan said is not unfounded, because those people on the list, more or less influenced by Jordan, became stepping stones on his path to godhood.
The Bulls defeated the Lakers led by the Magic in the 1991 Finals to win the first championship in team history; Ewing lost all five playoff games with Jordan; Drexler's Trail Blazers reached the Finals in 1992 but were cut down by Jordan's Bulls; Barkley's Suns reached the Finals in 1993 and were also defeated by Jordan's Bulls; and the Jazz led by Stockton and Malone met twice on the Stage of the Grand Finals, both of which were hatefully defeated.
"Golden Left Hand" Mullin never led the team out of the West in his career, so he survived and was not poisoned by Jordan, and Pippen should be glad that he was Jordan's teammate, which created the Bulls Dynasty with him.
Bird retired early because of injury, becoming the only player in this dream team to have the upper hand against Jordan, and he twice led the Greenshirts to sweep the Bulls, failing to beat Bird head-on, and one of the few regrets of Jordan's career.
