NEW YORK (AP) — It’s not urban legend: The Dream Team really did lose to a group of college stars.

A new documentary commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the Olympic gold medalists has the footage to prove it. The video shot at the time so coaches could analyze practice will now be televised to the world.

“The Dream Team” premieres Wednesday night on NBA TV. It chronicles the future Hall of Famers who became the first NBA players to compete at the Olympics at the 1992 Barcelona Games. All 12 members sat down for fresh interviews.

NBA Entertainment cameras followed around the team during the Olympics, and some of that footage aired in various forms then. This is the first time all the behind-the-scenes moments have been shown together in one place.
