American men's basketball team
The American basketball team, founded in 1936, belongs to the American Basketball Association and is a team representing the United States in various international basketball events, nicknamed the Dream Team.
The narrow sense of "dream team" is the name people call the American men's basketball team that won the gold medal in the 25th Olympic Games in Barcelona. This team is considered to be the strongest basketball team in history, because it includes almost all the top NBA players at that time. This is really like a dream.
But at that time, there was no later name of "Dream Team", and the team itself was just called "Dream Team" instead of "Dream Team 1". The "dream team" in a broad sense means after 1992 (not before 92).
The American men's basketball team that participated in the World Basketball Championship or the Summer Olympics is composed of NBA professional players (note: CBA/ American college basketball team that participated in the 1998 World Basketball Championship is generally not considered as a dream team).
According to the chronological order of becoming an army, they were named Dream Team 2 and Dream Team 3 respectively. The second dream team (hereinafter referred to as "Dream Team II") won the Toronto World Basketball Championship with 1994.
At the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Dream Team 3 and Dream Team 4 also won Olympic gold medals.
