From the start they looked unbeatable and were supposed to cruise to the Gold medal. Featuring basketball’s best of the best, the U.S. men were never challenged as a new era of international basketball made its debut. They won eight straight and without even drawing a sweat, beating Croatia in the final by 32 points, and that was the closest of the 8 contests. The names that adorn this ball read like a who’s who of basketball: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, Scotty Pippen, David Robinson, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, and Christian Laettner. This Spalding official ball has all of their signatures in black Sharpie, including a very clear Jordan and a hard to find Ewing.
