This awesome shirt pays tribute to "America's Dream Team", aka the 1992 US Olympic men's basketball team. The 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona marked the first time that the US Olympic team chose include active professional NBA players, and this tee features caricatures of the whole team. The roster included David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Chris Mullen, Charles Barkley, Christian Laettner, and co-captains Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

Laettner was the only player with no NBA experience, as the USA team wanted to honor the previous amateur system in some way. Meanwhile coach Chuck Daly had originally asked Jordan to be the public face of the team, but he declined, and  instead Bird and Johnson were selected as co-captains. After retiring from the NBA following his HIV diagnosis, Johnson's position on the team gave him hope that he could still live a fulfilling life even with the illness. Considered by many to be one of the greatest sports teams ever assembled, the Dream Team completely dominated the Olympics and took home the gold.

Fits like a modern unisex adult extra large. There's some fading on the graphics and holes on the back, see pics.
