I like my trivia so here goes:

1. How many players from the 1992 Dream Team are in the HOF?

2. Name them?

I'll give two TPs.

11 now - Bird, Magic, Jordan, Pippen, Stockton, Mullin, Barkley, Ewing, Robinson, Malone, Drexler.  Technically 10 have been formally inducted, with Mullin on the way.  Only Laettner is out.

The future is now, old man!!!   :P  (I'm pretty sure we're about the same age)


Quick followup:  How many members of the 1996 Olympic team are still active?  Name them.

Man, who cares about the '96 team? ;)

I'm pretty sure it's two, though.  Shaq was definitely on it, and I'm fairly confident Grant Hill was, too.  Everyone else is retired, I think.

Yeah, the concept lost its shine a bit after the first time.  And don't get me started on "Dream Team II" in the 94 World Championships.

Oh yeah, and the answer is correct.  Shaq and Hill still plugging away.  Shaq should've been on Dream Team I too, but they wanted a guy who could shoot jumpers as their college rep.

Of the guys on the 2004 squad who failed to bring home the gold, how many never won an Olympic gold before or since?  Bonus points for naming them.

For Roy's, I can think of two, Marbury and Iverson.

Richard Jefferson is correct; Michael Redd isn't.
