During the summer of 1992 in Barcelona, Spain, the United States Men's Olympic Basketball team, known simply as the "Dream Team," not only went undefeated and won the Gold Medal but will go down in history as the greatest collection of basketball talent to ever step on the court. Led by point guard Earvin "Magic" Johnson, the "Dream Team" averaged an Olympic record 117.3 points per game and won each game by an average of almost 44 points. Everyone agreed that this team would be unbeatable, and it was. This white mesh jersey was worn by "Magic" Johnson during those historic Olympic games. On the left front tail is the Official "Champion" manufacturer's tag reading "DESIGNED AND TAILORED EXCLUSIVELY FOR: 1992 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES." Adjacent is a second "Champion" manufacturer's tag with wash instructions and jersey size "44". Inside the left front tail are two white tags "100% POLYESTER" and "3" EXTRA BODY LENGTH" indicating material and alteration, respectively. Across the front of the jersey is the official "USA BASKETBALL" logo screened on in red, white and blue. On the front and back of the jersey is player number "15" screened on in red numbers with a blue border. On the back of the jersey is the player name "JOHNSON" screened on in red lettering. There is an autograph on the lower front of the jersey in blue marker rating a strong 9. On the left front breast is the official "Champion" logo embroidered patch. The jersey shows game-use and is accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
