Select Team
Players are selected to form the USA Basketball Men’s Select Team to scrimmage against the national team. The Dream Team in 1992 lost a scrimmage to a select group of college All-Stars, 62–54. In a televised exhibition against the 1996 national team, The New York Times wrote that the Select Team "was outhustling the National Basketball Association stars, outplaying them and nearly outscoring them." The Select Team led by 17 points at halftime before losing 96–90.

Famous quotes containing the words select and/or team:
“We select granite for the underpinning of our houses and barns; we build fences of stone; but we do not ourselves rest on an underpinning of granitic truth, the lowest primitive rock. Our sills are rotten.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
