I remember when the Dream Team basketball squad played at the Barcelona Olympics. They were 50 point favorites most of the time. I can't recall making any bets though. A little about the Dream Team:
The original Dream Team, the U.S. basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, was a phenomenon on and off the court. It mattered not that it dominated the Olympic competition, beating its eight opponents by an average of 44 points. What was important was that the Dream Team, the first U.S. Olympic team to include NBA stars, gave fans a glimpse of basketball at its finest.
