Which NBA 2K game was the first to include the 1992 Dream Team?

Which NBA 2K game was the first to include the 1992 Dream Team? NBA 2K13 was the first NBA 2K title to include it. The game featured the legendary 1992 United States Olympic team alongside the 2012 USA Basketball squad.

NBA 2K13 marked the franchise’s first official use of the Dream Team concept. Its inclusion allowed players to stage matchups between the original Olympic team and the contemporary 2012 team, creating a central promotional feature for the release.

The 1992 team included stars such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Scottie Pippen, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, Clyde Drexler, and Christian Laettner.

The distinction should be limited to the NBA 2K series. Other basketball games, including the earlier Team USA Basketball, had represented the 1992 team, but NBA 2K13 was the first listed NBA 2K game to do so. NBA 2K12 therefore is not correct.
