从某种意义上说,1992年的巴塞罗那奥运会使乔丹的名气又提高到新的水平,因为在这届奥运会上,所有人的眼睛都盯住了美国篮球队——“梦之队”。这是职业篮球运动员第一次被允许参加奥运会。乔丹并不是特别想参加巴塞罗那奥运会。两个夺得总冠军的赛季已经把他弄得筋疲力尽了。即便是休赛的夏季里,时间也不完全属于他,他的时间越来越多地用到了与之合作公司的商业事务上。参加奥运会将占去他大部分宝贵的时间,而他本可以用这些时间恢复,缓解身心的压力。另外,公牛总经理杰里·克劳斯当然也不愿意让乔丹和皮彭去参赛,因为他们去参赛对公牛队没有任何好处,只能使他们更加疲劳,此外还会增加他们受伤的危险。菲尔·杰克逊对此事的态度则比较矛盾。他觉得这对乔丹倒无所谓,因为乔丹毕竟在8年前就参加过奥运会(那时他还是北卡罗莱纳大学的学生),但杰克逊认为参加奥运会对于皮彭来说可能很有好处——这是他得到大家承认的大好时机,长久以来由于在乔丹的影子下打球,皮彭的价值并没有真正被人们所认识。当然,两个人都应该参加,因为奥运会决不仅仅是篮球的问题,这也是向世人展示NBA的绝佳机会,更重要的是这将取悦他们的赞助商、这些商家非常希望在那个特殊舞台上最大限度地让这些世界上最优秀的运动员曝光。NBA也认为,这不仅是打败安哥拉队、克罗地亚队或西班牙队的问题,这是以艺术的形式展示篮球的问题,而缺少了联盟的尖子队员,这台戏是唱不好的。
In a sense, the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 brought Jordan’s reputation to a new level, as everyone in the Olympics stared at the US basketball team - “Dream Team” . This is the first time a professional basketball player has been allowed to attend the Olympics. Jordan is not particularly interested in attending the Barcelona Olympics. The two championship-winning seasons have exhausted him. Even in the offseason summer, time does not completely belong to him, his time more and more used to cooperate with the company’s business affairs. The Olympics will take up most of his precious time, and he could have spent the rest of the time relieving physical and psychological stress. In addition, Bulls general manager Jerry Klaus, of course, reluctant to Jordan and Pippen to participate, because they go to the competition for no benefit to the Bulls, only to make them more tired, in addition will increase their risk of injury. Phil Jackson’s attitude on the matter is more contradictory. He thinks it does not matter to Jordan because Jordan, after all, took part in the Olympics eight years ago (when he was a student at the University of North Carolina), but Jackson believes that joining the Olympics may be good for Pippen - and that It was a good time that he was recognized by everyone. For a long time, due to playing in the shadow of Jordan, Pippen’s value has not really been recognized by people. Of course, both should attend, because the Olympics are by no means a mere basketball issue and it is a great opportunity to show the world the NBA and, more importantly, to please their sponsors, who are very much on that particular stage Maximize the exposure of the best athletes in the world. The NBA also believes it is not only a matter of defeating the Angolan, Croatian or Spanish teams. It’s a problem of showing basketball in the form of art. Without the league’s top players, this is a bad show.
