NBA TV's documentary, The Dream Team, gave the network its most-watched telecast ever on Wednesday evening, averaging 847,000 viewers, according to Nielsen.

The 90-minute documentary chronicled the 1992 USA Men's Basketball team, which was the first to allow NBA players to compete in international play. Nicknamed "The Dream Team," it is widely considered to be the best team in the history of sports. The documentary featured never-before-seen practice footage and interviews with all 12 of the players.

NBA TV will re-air The Dream Team Friday, Saturday and July 4-5.
