The men's tournament of basketball at the 1992 Olympics at Barcelona, Spain began on July 26 and ended on August 8.
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.
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.
