Chris Webber describes the game the day after college stars defeated the 1992 Dream Team

The “Dream Team” of the 1992 Olympic Games is considered one of the greatest in sports history.

They raced through the competition in Barcelona on their way to the gold medal, but suffered a defeat. That came before the Olympics when they faced a collection of college stars led by Chris Webber

“We really beat them, but the next day was the only time in my life that I went to a practice game and my team didn’t score a single point in the entire quarter,” Webber said on “The Green Light With Chris Long” podcast. “Why would they be so mad about the game the next day?”

Webber said the Dream Team was visibly upset by the loss. Led by Michael Jordan, they treated the next day of practice like Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing and the rest of the Hall of Famers made sure the young players got a lesson.

“They were hitting the floor and talking shit to us like it was the championship game,” Webber said. “You know, like those drills you do every day to become a better player? (Jordan) played like that in the game. He blocked, talked on defense, elbowed guys as they came through the zone. We saw his greatness. He blocked everybody he checked. It wasn’t a game. Same with Pippen, same with Ewing. Those guys came out and played.”
