This was the first time that NBA players were eligible to play in Summer Olympics basketball, following a decision of FIBA in April 1989. Until 1992, only amateurs and players from professional leagues other than the NBA were allowed to play.[1][2]

The United States, which was nicknamed "The Dream Team", won the gold medal by beating Croatia in the final, with Lithuania winning the bronze medal.
