Today in Sports - U.S. men's basketball team beats Yugoslavia to win the gold medal at the Olympics

From a first-place NBA trade to Olympic gold, today’s sports timeline spans more than a century of milestones. In Atlanta, the U.S. men’s basketball team—Dream Team III—beat Yugoslavia 95-69 to win gold at the 1996 Olympics. The same year, Jackie Joyner-Kersee secured her sixth Olympic medal, jumping 22 feet, 11 3-4 inches to finish with bronze after starting in sixth in the long jump. Earlier, 1952 saw five Americans win boxing gold, the first time the U.S. claimed the unofficial team title. Other highlights include Rickey Henderson’s 100th stolen base in 1978 and Carmelo Anthony’s record-setting 156-73 Olympic win over Nigeria in 2012.
