Dreams are World Championships. Dreams are Olympic Gold medals. Dreams are carried by 12 men 18 years ago. Dreams are made true in Barcelona. Dreams are real.

Dreams come from an MVP amongst legends. Dreams ‘round’ into shape. Dreams take every rebound and ball. Dreams drop 18 points per on a team where the ball is shared. Dreams are funny, charming but serious all at the same time. Dreams ‘Let em have it Chuck’. Dreams are Charles Barkley.
What are dreams made of?
Dreams are two former friends and foes coming together for one common goal. Dreams are about to pass the torch after going out with a shooting bang. Dreams are two guys that helped redefine the league and sport as a whole. Dreams are two guys who brought the sport around the globe and are now making it their own. Dreams are things of Magic. Dreams are things of Legend. Dreams are Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

Dreams are made of this. Dreams are made to witness. Dreams are enshrined last weekend. Dreams are poetry in motion. This dream however is summed up better by Magic’s devotion.
