The 1992 U.S. Men’s Olympic basketball team won the gold medal in dominating fashion at the Barcelona Summer Games. Coached by the lateChuck Daly and called the "Dream Team" the superstar players represented the first American Olympic squad to feature active professional NBAplayers and proved to be an unstoppable force. The lone amateur player was Duke University sensation Christian Laettner who had been named college basketball’s Player of the Year. They obliterated every opponent they played by an averageof almost 44 points per game. They defeated Croatia in the gold-medal-winning championship game by the score of 117-85 close by their standards but blew out earlier opponents by the following margins: Angola (68 points); Croatia(the first time 33); Germany (43); Brazil (44); Spain (41); Puerto Rico (38); and Lithuania (51).This lot features a Los Angeles Lakers branded basketball that’s been signed by all 12 members of the team as well as the team’s head coach the late Chuck Daly. Every player and Coach Daly signed the basketball with a fine-point black marker: Michael Jordan Larry Bird Magic Johnson ClydeDrexler Karl Malone John Stockton Chris Mullin David Robinson Patrick Ewing Charles Barkley Scottie Pippen and Christian Laettner. It’s pretty unusual to have every member of the Dream Team and Coach Daly on one ball so this is a significant piece of sports memorabilia from one of the greatest teams ever assembled.Provenance: This lot originates from a gentleman who has enjoyed a long and successful career in Hollywood as an agent for many well-known athletes and entertainers. His professional and personal network enabled him to amass a significant collection of memorabilia nearly all ofwhich was given to him directly from the athletes and entertainers themselves. All of these items are being introduced to the marketplace here for the first time. While our consignor remains anonymous SCP Auctions will issue an LOA for each game used item attesting to its player-direct provenance.Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA.
