With the Rio Olympics underway, the US is once again the heavy favorite to bring home the gold in basketball.

This has largely been the case (with the exception of 2004) since 1992, when professional basketball players were allowed to compete in the Olympics, thus creating the Dream Team.

Composed of several Hall of Fame players, the '92 Dream Team dominated the competition, restoring glory to US basketball.

Here's what the legendary members are up to today:

Michael Jordan was the star of the Dream Team and the face of the NBA.
