96 Atlanta was my first Olympics as well and everything you mentioned are things I remember so well. Dream Team 2 will always hold a special place in my heart because I didn't get to experience the first one.
I think my favorite Olympic moment though came a little bit later in life. The first time I got to watch Usain Bolt run in the 2008 Olympics was incredible. It was just amazing to see how easy it looked for him. Him looking back to see how far back the rest of the field was as he crossed the finish line is such an iconic moment, and the first time I ever really cheered for a non-US athlete in the Olympics.
For the ATL Olympics, my dad woke me up early to go watch the men's road race (cycling). I got to hang out with my dad all day and see Lance Armstrong (before he was really Lance Armstrong).
