This was a huge disappointment to Michael and he greatly considered giving up on basketball completely. Thanks to his parents, Michael continued on with basketball and it fueled him to work even harder and strive to get better. Between his sophomore and junior year, Michael grew from 5 foot eleven, to 6 foot 3. As an upperclassman at Laney High, Jordan continued to strive to get better and work as hard as he could. Jordan’s hard work paid off a little bit when he earned an invite to a five star basketball camp in Pittsburgh, where only the best basketball players in the nation are invited to.

They averaged one hundred and five points per game and won by an average of twelve points.4 They were definitely a force to be reckoned with and scared teams every time they stepped on the court. The post season showed us more of the same, the Bulls pushed through the magic, opponents and won all their home games and only losing three away games going fifteen and three.

Even though Team USA wasn’t as star-studded as the previous two Olympic teams, they still achieved the goal of winning a gold medal, but the path that they took to get there was much tougher than the path of teams in the past. With that being said, Team USA helped the United States Men’s basketball program to reach 109 wins with only two losses spread across 14 different Olympic games.
This shot put the lid on the season and ended the Cinderella story. III. Conclusion A. This season was created by the players and Brad Stevens who led the to an unbelievable regular season, through the Tournament, and the National Championship. B. Butler basketball has a culture that isn't anywhere else in the country and deserves a great fan base.

Although the 1992 Olympic Men’s Basketball Team is considered the greatest assemblage of professional athletes in history, the Dream Team does have its critics. Regardless of the bureaucratic problems that stemmed from allowing NBA players to compete in the Olympics, many benefits were reaped by intertwining the two associations. Even though the basketball that was played with the Dream Team did not differ fundamentally, it changed the game of basketball forever because it respected the historical values, inspired young basketball players to pursue their NBA and Olympic dreams, and it treated book reviewers to an action-packed topic whilst also changing international basketball for the better. To understand the phenomenal standard at which the Dream Team performed at, it is necessary to look at the statistics that they recorded. During the 1992 Olympics, the American basketball team averaged 117 ¼ points per game (Cottrell 1).
