Columbus Dispatch Obituaries for Yesterday

The Dream Team has written the final chapter on the NBA's incredible growth, and it's a tale of unparalleled success. Thirteen years ago, fans in Philadelphia wouldn't even venture out to watch Julius Erving play. The 1992 Olympic basketball team has brought about a hysteria that is unmatched, with $200 tickets being sold out in no time.

The team's star players, including Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, have been making headlines not just for their on-court performance but also for their off-court antics. Johnson recently underwent an MRI to determine the extent of his strained muscle, while Magic Johnson had to be helped off the court by Pippen and Mullin after wincing in pain.

The Dream Team's dominance has been evident throughout the tournament, with Charles Barkley earning a technical foul and not apologizing for it, much to the dismay of coach Chuck Daly. Despite this, the team remains unbeaten, thanks in part to the contributions of players like Larry Bird, who has been dealing with a sore back.

In one notable performance, Drazen Petrovic scored 19 points for the New Jersey Nets, while Stojko Vrankovic blocked shots from Pippen, David Robinson, and Chris Mullin. Kukoc, on the other hand, had a tough game but showed flashes of brilliance, earning praise from Magic Johnson.

The team's ability to adapt to different playing styles has been impressive, with Jordan expressing his admiration for Kukoc's inventive passes. The Dream Team has set a high standard for themselves, and it will be interesting to see how they continue to perform as the tournament progresses.
