How to watch We Beat the Dream Team: Release date, where to stream basketball documentary


Every sports fan knows about the Dream Team.

In 1992 professionals were allowed to play Olympic basketball for the first time, and the U.S. assembled the greatest roster ever seen. Talents like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing and so many more shared the court, and eventually steamrolled their way Olympic gold.

The Dream Team played 14 games between the Tournament of the Americas and the Barcelona Olympics, winning all 14 contests and every single game by more than 30 points.

To this day, it remains the best team that ever was...or was it?

TNT Sports and HBO Original sports bring you a behind the scenes look at the untold story of the team that actually beat the Dream Team.

A team of college players and rising stars was handpicked to practice against the Dream Team in the lead up to the Olympics. Featuring future stars like Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber, Jamal Mashburn, Bobby Hurley and more, the practice team did the unthinkable and upset the dream team. This is their story.
