LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant recreated iconic 1992 Dream Team photo

In 1992, the United States men’s Olympic basketball team, nicknamed the “Dream Team,” took the world by storm as it breezed its way to the gold medal in Barcelona. It was the first time NBA players were allowed to participate in the Olympics, and that squad featured legends such as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird.

This year’s iteration of Team USA may or may not have as much star power as that 1992 squad. But having LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, not to mention Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards and Devin Booker, among others, isn’t too shabby.

There’s an iconic photo of Johnson, Jordan and Bird from that 1992 Olympic team that has stood the test of time. James, Curry and Durant did their best to recreate that photo.

If you look closely, each of the three in the new version flashed a number of fingers to represent how many NBA championships they have won.

Team USA started off the 2024 Summer Olympic Games with a dominant 110-84 win over Serbia on Sunday. It will face South Sudan on Wednesday next.
