Johnson was chosen to compete in the Barcelona 1992 Summer Olympics for the U.S. national team, dubbed the "Dream Team" because of the NBA stars on the roster.[108] The Dream Team, which along with Johnson included fellow Hall of Famers such as Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Larry Bird, was considered unbeatable.[109] After qualifying for the Olympics with a gold medal at the 1992 Tournament of the Americas,[110] the Dream Team dominated in Olympic competition, winning the gold medal with an 8–0 record, beating their opponents by an average of 43.8 points per game. Johnson averaged 8.0 points per game during the Olympics, and his 5.5 assists per game was second on the team.[109][111] Johnson played infrequently because of knee problems,[112] but he received standing ovations from the crowd, and used the opportunity to inspire HIV-positive people.[6]
