    David Halberstam has a chapter in Playing For Keeps on the Dream Team - how they whupped the college all-stars by 56 points. And then went on to play (in a practice gym in Monte Carlo no less) what turned into the greatest basketball game ever played:

    Michael's Team vs Magic's Team. (pages 300-301)

    from Playing for Keeps:
    "No official box score was kept, and there was even some dispute about the final score, but there was no doubt about whose team won, and even less about who the best player on the court had been"

    "These were the best players in the world going all-out against each other, not, as they were wont to do in the all-star game.... Instead this game was played with an intensity more likely to be found in the seventh game of an NBA finals."

    All of that chapter is great and the game played was EPIC.

    I remember reading that. They never said who the fifth person was on Jordan's team. I'm guessing it was Stockton.

    yeah... that's one thing I've always wanted to hear Robinson's take on. In '92 he had never played with a player even close to being in the same league as these guys. I wonder how the dream team experience / practicing every day at a level that high affected his approach/feelings for the game.
