about the Cover

We end this Bar year of highlighting sports legends and diversity in sports , by featuring two photos of the famous “ Dream Team ,” the 2012 United States Men ’ s Olympic basketball team , who brought home the gold . With the summer upon us and our thoughts turning to the summer Olympics that will take place in Paris next year , we remember one of the United States more iconic Olympics teams , which featured many NBA greats and future Hall of Famers . Held in London , the team included Lebron James ( our President ’ s favorite basketball player , by the way !), Kevin Durant , Deron Williams , James Harding , Russell Westbrook , Kobe Bryant , and Anthony Davis , along with legend Coach Krzyzewski .
