Looking at the roster of the 1992 USA Basketball Men's National Team is like reading a list of basketball's greatest players of all time. Now, the "Dream Team" will be added to this year's NBA 2K17 as preorder bonus DLC.

The collaboration between NBA 2K and USA Basketball allows them to bring together Dream Team players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Charles Barkley to face off against the teams of today.

This is the first time Charles Barkley and Christian Laettner have appeared in an NBA 2K game. The rest of the players have been available previously, though only on their respective NBA teams.

2K also announced that the 2016 USA Basketball men's team would make an appearance in the upcoming basketball game. Additionally, coach Mike Krzyzewski will be on the sidelines, advising the USA team during its games. Krzyzewski will also appear in the in-game tutorials.

NBA 2K17 releases for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on September 20. You can play NBA 2K17 four days early by preordering the game. You also get some digital content such as virtual currency if you preorder.

The Dream Team isn't the only squad getting added to this year's basketball game. The Australian Boomers will also make their way to NBA 2K17 when it releases later this year.

This year's cover star is Indiana Pacers forward Paul George, but if you want to spend extra money, you can get the Legend edition, which comes with Kobe Bryant on the box and digital and physical goodies based on the former Los Angeles Laker.
