In 1992 Clyde Drexler became a member of the greatest basketball team ever assembled: the U.S. Mens Olympic Basketball Dream Team. Coached by Chuck Daly the team boasted 11 future NBA Hall of Fame players including Larry Bird Michael Jordan Magic Johnson Charles Barkley and Drexler and proceeded to beat each of their opponents during the Olympic competition in Barcelona Spain by an average of 44 points. They defeated Croatia in the championship game by the score of 117-85 following earlier blowouts by the following margins: Angola (68 points); Croatia (the first time 33); Germany (43); Brazil (44); Spain (41); Puerto Rico (38); and Lithuania (51). The 6 7 Drexler playing at shooting guard wound up averaging 10.5 points and 3.6 assists per game for the eight games in which he played.
