The five-part series aims to focus on how The Dream Team is partly responsible for helping skyrocket the NBA into the global phenomenon it is today.

"The heart of our series is a huge box of micro-cassette tapes we found at veteran SI writer Jack McCallum's house. Those tapes show Barkley, Bird, Magic, and especially Jordan, behind closed doors: intimate and uncensored. They shared things with Jack that they never told anyone else. This series will be the first time those tapes have been heard publicly."

That's what brothers Emmett and Brendan Malloy had to say about directing Dream Team: Birth of The Modern Athlete.

Here's the full list of unheard archival interviews:

• Charles Barkley
• Larry Bird
• Clyde Drexler
• Patrick Ewing
