We Beat The Dream Team follows the college basketball team that, in 1992, was hired to prepare the US National Basketball Team ahead of the Barcelona Olympics.

Instead of being a pushover, these college players actually managed to beat the professional players, which is quite fitting given how the Olympics was initially envisioned as a sporting competition for amateurs.

You can learn more about this story by watching We Beat The Dream Team when it comes out, and here's how:
