The 1992 Olympic Team almost replaced point guard John Stockton right before going to Barcelona. Isiah Thomas missed out on the last roster spot allegedly due to a beef with Michael Jordan,
Stockton had broken a bone in his leg that healed quickly. However, Team USA was almost sold on replacing Stockton with Joe Dumars of the Detroit Pistons. Some thought the replacement would have been Thomas.
NBA columnist Jan Hubbard was a team liaison to Team USA executive Russ Granik. In an interview with GQ in 2012, Hubbard recalled the situation. It has been speculated Michael Jordan did not want Thomas on the team. However, Hubbard said otherwise.
