???? VIDEO SUMMARY YOU AIN’T EEEN ASK FOR

This video discusses the dominant 1984 US Senior Men's Olympic Basketball Team, highlighting their journey from trials to winning the gold medal in Los Angeles.

The episode covers:
• 1984 Team USA Bio (5:55): The team, led by coach Bob Knight, was the last amateur US team to win an Olympic men's basketball championship. It featured four of the five 1984 consensus first-team All-Americans, including Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Wayman Tisdale, and Sam Perkins.

• Team Trials and Notable Cuts (7:22): Seventy players attended the trials in Bloomington, Indiana. Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Terry Porter, Johnny Dawkins, and Chuck Person were among the notable players cut from the team. The most controversial selection was Steve Alford, Knight's own player.

• Exhibition Games vs. NBA All-Stars (12:01): Prior to the Olympics, the collegiate team played and won all eight exhibition games against NBA All-Star teams that included Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Isiah Thomas.

• Legacy of the 1984 Team USA (17:01): The 1984 Olympics served as a "coming out party" for Michael Jordan, who led the team in scoring.

The team also featured future Hall of Famers Patrick Ewing and Chris Mullen, who would later join Jordan on the 1992 Dream Team.

The trials and Olympic exposure also boosted the draft stock of several players, including those who were cut.

This team holds the distinction of being the last collegiate team to win an Olympic gold medal in men's basketball.
