Recently, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson criticized LeBron James for teaming up with two other superstars, instead of wanting to win a championship as the 'main man'. However, a shocking revelation has come to light, revealing that Jordan, Magic and Larry Bird in fact played together on the same Olympic Team.

"A perfect example of talking out of both sides of your mouth," said ESPN's Chris Broussard. "You rip on a guy for taking a shortcut to win an NBA title, when you three got together to win the U.S. a gold medal. Totally hypocritical."

Not only did these three team up, the 1992 Olympic squad, which was known as the 'Dream Team', included several other superstars such as Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Clyde Drexler and David Robinson, among others.

"What we did, and what LeBron did are completely different." said Jordan, quick to defend the uncovering of this 'Dream Team'. "We did that for our country. It wasn't like we were completely loaded with future Hall of Famers anyway. People often forget this, but Christian Laettner was somehow on that team. No really, he was."

Magic Johnson would not back off his criticism of LeBron either, but did admit he completely forgot Christian Laettner was on the 1992 Olympic Team.

I understand where they’re coming from. They just want Lebron James to stick it out on his team and confront the challenge. Because those guys, Michael and Magic loves competition. They have this competitive spirit on them that whatever happens win or lose the important thing is, they are willing to face up the challenge.
