Barkley was invited by Bob Knight to try out for United States men’s basketball team for the 1984 Summer Olympics. He made it all the way to final cuts but wasn’t selected for the team, despite outplaying almost all of the front-court players there. Barkley then competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games and won two gold medals as a member of the United States men’s basketball team.
