The HBO documentary We Beat the Dream Team revisits the surprising scrimmage in June 1992 where a group of college players, dubbed the Select Team, triumphed over the legendary Dream Team, featuring stars like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. Despite the Dream Team's dominance in the Olympics, the Select Team won 62-54 due to their aggressive play and the Dream Team's complacency. However, their victory was overshadowed as the game's score was kept under wraps and largely ignored by the media, with the coach, Chuck Daly, controlling the narrative.
The Select Team, comprised of future NBA stars, shocked the basketball world by defeating the Dream Team in a scrimmage, showcasing their talent and competitiveness.
The HBO documentary We Beat the Dream Team highlights the college players' surprising victory, which remained largely unrecognized despite their impressive performance against NBA legends.
