Stylin' and profilin' in the Dream Team windbreaker

By Pat Imig

Two days after getting the chance to sleep with Scottie Pippen, David Robinson and a bag of Doritos, the Dream Team windbreaker takes center stage in the performance of "stuff I need from the Barcelona games."

Upon original viewing, I was inclined to make a joke that the jacket looked like it came straight from a cereal box. Then I looked closer and realized it might actually be the case.

THIS VERY LIGHTWEIGHT WINDBREAKER LIKE PAPER LOOKING WRINKLEY JACKET IS BY KELOGG, ADULT SMALL, 1992,CLEAN COND, SEE INFO, SEE PHOTO'S, SHIPPING FEE 5.45 IN USA WITH TRACKING, OVERSEAS TO BE DETERMINED.--- THANK YOU

You are quite welcome. And thank you for allowing us to carry Larry Bird, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, Karl Malone and David Robinson on our back and sternum. This beauty is going to come in handy when I sleep on my David Robinson-Doritos air mattress on the pool-deck outside. It gets chilly at night, you know.

Now all I need is to find some pants ... somebody out there has to have some Dream Team Zubaz.

    That jacket looks like it's actually made from a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, which is to say I want it real bad.

    It looks like a windbreaker I got from a Camel pack..back in the day. And if you had to sleep with Scottie Pippen and David Robinson you might look a little used up too. Thank God for the Doritos....

    Acctually i used to have one of these, it did come from a cereal box, cant remember what kind, but knowing my mom i would say probably boring ol' corn flakes. I recently saw one of these in a clients house and asked if i could buy it. she called her son who quickly said it was priceless to him. and i agree this comes from an era when the basketball stars were acctualy good role models. no tatoos, drugs, or rape charges. the first tool like that for the nba, in my oppinion, was rodman. so im looking for one to buy now, and hey, there will never be another dream team like the 92 dream team. i think there was only one player that was out of college and not a pro. btw, dont try to iron it.
