This team defied all expectations and was unbeatable. Legend has it that the squad only lost once, and it was in a practice match against the excellent NCAA players that served as their sparring partners. Notable players included Chris Webber, Penny Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, Allan Houston, and Rodney Rodgers.
Witnesses claimed that former Dream Team coach Chuck Daly had allowed the kids to win in order to tease the stars a little. One of the fresh NCAA champions even had the gall to jab at Larry Bird after the former Celtics had jokingly asked them to take a little break because the week would be long. The person in charge of this tale was Jamal Mashburn, who claimed that Rodney Rodgers virtually single-handedly responded to what Bird had told them by stating that he hadn’t hit a shot in Jump since 1984, demonstrating a genuine lack of regard for Magic’s perception of Johnson.
