Vintage Gear: 1992 Dream Team Autographed Basketball

Basketball became a world sport in 1992 with the help of the Olympics allowing professional players to participate for the first time in its history. With that ruling came one of the most ridiculously stacked teams in the history of the sport with the United States’ Dream Team. Michael Jordan led the way followed by Magic, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird and more as part of a team that beat opponents by an average of 44 points. Today’s vintage find is a rare item from those Barcelona games – an autographed basketball signed by all 12 players and 4 coaches and took over 13 years to assemble to completion. For more images of this one of a kind piece of history hit the jump and if you have the dough pick it up today from autographs99 on eBay.
