Debate all you want about which U.S. men's basketball team was the greatest. Only one is the subject of documentaries, books and an endless amount of memories.

The original Dream Team won the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games 20 years ago Wednesday, changing the sport of basketball forever. Some might say the team changed the game by setting the bar too high, as no team would ever again be able to approach so much international hoopla and on-court excellence. The 2012 team may possess just as much talent, but in many fans' minds this year's edition pales in comparison to the original.

Relive some of the best highlights from the Dream Team's run in the video below.
