Performed for the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, Marvin Gaye’s remix captured the passion of 80s soul, mixed it with some old fashioned patriotism and created a timeless classic.  And like Marvin and the Dream Team before them, this year’s Team USA Basketball intends to put on a show that will forever go down as one the greatest performances in the history of the sport.
