The next step for the team, was to make the Olympics. First
up, was the Cuban National team. At the start of the game it seemed that the Cuban
players wanted pictures and autographic more then they wanted to beat the dream
team. Chuck had picked Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan as captains.
Jordan said no. He said that it meant more to the other guys, Bird and Magic as
it was the end of their careers, and this was the first they would play
together.
Team USA dominated the Cubans by more than seventy points. Jordan and
Magic would have a little rivalry because Magic was the man of the eighty’s and
Jordan was the new face. It was all in fun and love they were great teammates
on the court. Next game was another blowout, as the U.S. team qualified and was
headed to Spain.
