There was once a team of the most elite American basketball players that were sent to the Olympics to take home the gold.

Not only did they take home the gold, but they defeated every team they played by an average of 44 points. It is widely considered one of the strongest teams ever built.

Thus, the nickname "Dream Team" was born.

If there were to be a modern-day Dream Team, these are the players it would consist of.
