The Dream Team and the Other Dream Team
Dan Hanson told the story of the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Basketball games.
In 1988 in Seoul the USSR led by pro players (including Lithuanian NBA stars Arvydas Sabonis and Šarūnas Marčiulionis) defeated the US team of college players.
The rules changed and in 1992 the Dream Team of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson and others defeated everyone to reclaim the gold.
By 1992 the USSR had fallen and Lithuania had its own team which captured the bronze in Barcelona. They wore tie-dye uniforms in their flag color designed by the Grateful Dead. They were the Other Dream Team.
Dan spoke at the ClevelandPeople.Com Passport Adventure to Lithuania at the Cleveland Lithuanian Club. The Passport Adventurers visit traditional ethnic restaurants and showcases the food, culture, history of the country – in this case Lithuania.
