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.[1][2] 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.

Format

The twelve teams were split into two groups of six teams, and a single round-robin was held within each group. The top four teams from each group advanced to the knockout stage for the medals and the fourth place in the final rankings. The four losing teams from the first round of the knockout stage played another knockout stage to determine fifth through eighth place in the final rankings, and the four teams eliminated in the group stage played in another knockout stage to determine ninth through twelfth place in the final rankings. Ties were broken via the following the criteria:
