The 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball squad, also known as the “Dream Team,” is considered by some to be the greatest basketball team ever created.

Composed of several Hall of Fame players, the ’92 Dream Team dominated the competition, restoring glory to U.S. Basketball.

Here’s what the legendary members are up to today:

Michael Jordan was the star of the Dream Team and the face of the NBA.
