"Dean “the Dream” Thompson: Omaha’s Scoring Legend"

They called him “Dean the Dream” for a reason. Dean Thompson’s smooth, effortless style made him one of the most gifted scorers Omaha has ever seen. At Omaha Westside, he led the Warriors to the Class A boys basketball championship his senior year, averaging 23 points per game and earning all-state honors. His legacy continued at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where he rewrote the record books—tallying 1,816 career points, a record that still stands today—before the days of the 3-point line or shot clock. In this episode, Dean reflects on growing up in a basketball family, the backyard battles that shaped him, and the unforgettable state title run in 1980. We revisit his legendary UNO career, his experiences playing alongside greats in tournaments and pro leagues, his time with the Omaha Racers, and even his surprising post-basketball ventures. From driveway games to scoring records, Thompson’s journey is one every Nebraska fan will want to hear. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
