Triple-A team to honor Dream Team with amazing uniforms

Jun 5, 2017, 1:51 PM

It has been 25 years since the Dream Team was formed, with the group of NBA stars and future hall of famers (and Christian Laettner) that went on to dominate the hardwood in Barcelona.

The squad won its first game, over Cuba, by 79 points, and went on to knock off Venezuela by 47 in the gold medal game. The team’s average margin of victory was a ridiculous 51.5 points, and it vaulted USA Basketball back to the top.

Wonderfully, in honor of what that team accomplished, the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens will don jerseys that are simply amazing.

According to the Mud Hens, some of the jerseys worn will be sold each night in a silent auction, and because of that we are now rifling through pockets and flipping over couch cushions in hopes of coming up with some extra funds.
