The original Dream Team consisted of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone, Clyde Drexler, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin, David Robinson and Christian Laettner.
In order to commemorate the silver anniversary of the Dream Team we decided to highlight the Toronto Raptors franchise Dream Team and selected 11 of the greatest Raptors as well as one college player.
Keep in mind that the U.S national team decided to include one NCAA player to be apart of the Dream Team which is how Laettner ended up being apart of the 1992 Olympic team.
We decided to do the same and picked an NCAA player from the Toronto area to be included on the Raptors Dream Team.
