Well, they're def better than the Dem Rep. I'm glad A Davis is on the team. Pippin said the Dream Team would have spanked them by 25. I doubt it.

1992 team would kill the 2012 team

You have to look no further than the Centers.

A Davis is hurt and not playing. So the only real center is Tyson Chandler.

That doesnt compare to Patrick Ewing and David Robinson. Then at PF you have Barkley and Malone.

That's a roster where 10 of the 12 players are Hall of Famers

Best team every assembled.

Now if the 2012 team had Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Andrew Bynum, then it might be a different story, but 1992 was too big of a team.

I suspect this team will eventually have a similar number of Hall of Famers from it but you are right that they are a bit light in the post. Neither Bird nor Laetner were worth a shit in 1992 and I've always thought the fat fuck spitter was vastly over-rated.

Ah you are old enough to know better.

You add Olajuwan, Hardaway, Rodman, Shaq, Joe Dumars, Alonzo Morning, and Dominique Wilikins. Those are guys from 1992 that DIDNT make the 1992 Dream Team.

I don't think LeBron or Kobe even compare to Jordan. I actually enjoyed watching basketball back in those days, can't really say the same now.

But they weren't on the team.  Magic already had HIV and Bird never played another game in the NBA.  By the way, I don't think Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all time.  Wilt was.

If you take every member from the dream team in their prime, and match them against every member of the current squad in their prime, the original dream team would rape them repeatedly. It would be an ass fucking of epic proportions.

And Isiah Thomas, who was going to go over Stockton if it weren't for him being blackballed. Isiah Thomas would destroy any of 2012's PGs. The only one that comes close is Paul (and until he gets within a thousand miles of winning a title, he remains completely out of the discussion). As for Deron Williams or Russell Westbrook????

:trololol::trololol::trololol:

Get the fuck outta here. And that's a guy who didn't make it.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Isiah Thomas.. How about Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, and Reggie Miller.. 3 more studs who couldnt make Dream Team who easily would be on 2012 squad


I love when people who are new to the sport say stuff like "the guys today are just much more athletic," if you really think that, go back and watch some bulls from 1992, some knicks, some pacers. Those Guards were playing in an NBA where hard fouls were common and you didnt get up and cry afterwards. Watch Tim Hardaway, Magic, Jordan, Reggie Miller and tell me those guys wouldnt dominate today.

With the exception of LeBron, Kobe, and Durant this years team is just average really. I could throw Paul in there but he hasnt won anything yet

I wasn't that familiar with his game.  From what I understand you had to see it but Wilt posted whatever numbers he wanted to

Magic and Bird would have been pushed out for any number of current players, including lots not on the team.  They were done.  And, like I said, I never had much use for the spitting pig.  And Laetner.  What a fucking joke.  There's fifty current players who would displace that douche.

I agree with you on Laetner and Byrd but not Magic.

It's a pointless argument anyways.

USA basketball is always a dominant world force and dream team marked the first time NBA players were allowed to compete and forever changed world basketball. Nothing will ever compare to dream team, which is why that name was given and has stuck.

Not going to lie, I got goosebumps when I saw the US team all meeting with Michelle Obama after the game and getting a standing ovation from the London crowd. 27 point win over France.

That's a big part of what makes the Olympics so awesome. Things that you would normally give a cynical scoff at are touching because it somehow brings out the sincerity in people.

This is why the original dream team has no business pointing out any margin of victory crap.  International basketball was much weaker then than now.

Lmao@calling 73 lighting their ass off.They shot like 40%...and 29 from Ike Diogu(NBA player/1st round draft pick)

So would you be happier with a 50-130?lol...they were lighting those 3s up like crazy(also an olympic record)...when your shooting lights out(+70%)...there are alot of possessions for the other team.

Spain/Brazil both have solid crews.Ghetto??...like the players on the vast majority of soccer teams arent from simular backrounds.

USA dominate in alot of stuff...just cuz wd have the best athletes dont mean it aint fair.Atleast in Olympic Bball now a days there are alot of NBA players on different teams.Night and day from the 90s and before basketball.

I was thinking the same thing.  At the end of the first we were up 49-25, and even though that's a great point differential, Nigeria was on pace to put up 100 points in a 40 minute game.

On pace?lol


...and the best margin of victoriy for the 92 team was 79 vs Cuba.Now this is a long shot
but im guessing there wasnt too many good players from Cuba either.......lol

Nigeria wasnt an awful team. I mean they clearly qualified for the Olympics and have a couple solid players on their team

The USA just played one of the best games of basketball I have ever seen. And they had the best shooting game that I have ever seen out of any basketball team, on any level. They shot like 70+% from 3 and over 80% FG. That is incredible.

I dont care if there wasnt even another team on the court. Shooting that well is extremely difficult to do. Carmelo has been a beast this entire Olympics, he is by far the MVP of the team.

I cant wait to see how Melo does this season in the NBA. Too bad the Knicks suck and Stoudimire is one of the most overrated players

Knicks need him to play like he is right now, as a spot up shooter. The Knicks did a good job bringing in a PG and a SG to help facilitate to Melo. The Knicks are going to be competitive to at least make the playoffs.

I would have loved to see Dwight end up in Brooklyn cause I think they Nets are going to be a tough tough team with the moves they made adding Joe Johnson. Brook Lopez will need to live up to that massive contract they gave him

Unless you're Reggie Miller or Ray Allen constantly going for threes is lazy bullshit. If Spain can contest their constant 3 pointing the US might be in for some shit.

Durant will end up having a better career than both of those guys imo.

Both are hall of famers, but I think I agree.  Dude is about 7-feet and has got a great 3-point shot.  Still needs to work on his all-around game, but I don't even think he's 24 yet. 

And this team has shown they can be beat, or at least played tight, as Lithuania hung with them.  Usually happens when they settle for threes and don't get second-effort points.  But they got LeBron who can just take over whenver, so I'm not too worried about them losing.  I don't know if Spain is that good or not either.  They don't seem to be playing Serge Ibaka which makes no sense to me.  I would either play him with both Gasols or have him out there with one of the Gasols,  since he is actually quick enough to defend, where the Gasols are more skilled but slow as shit.

I don't disagree. I'm just sayin live by the three die by the three. They have to play Argentina again now. That'll demand they beat them three times in a row. That's pretty hard to do even when you're considerably better.

I want to take this opportunity to announce my disgust with the Spanish national team. Pau Gasol is the most hideous monster in the nba. I hate him and his team based on his physical appearance alone. He didn't even try in the playoffs because he wants this gold so bad. That is why I hope the American squad beats them down to their humiliated assraped Spanish deaths.

Durant is my nigga!  Reppin the 405.  Thunder is gonna be a beast this season, LA will be tough but Im hoping the raw talent and skill, along with the young age and athleticism of our team, will eventually lead us to victory.

I was part of the drumlin for the Thunder, shit was amazing except for one game we had a triple overtime...That shit was dumb

Rooting for the U.S. Olympic basketball team is like rooting for Batman in a Batman movie.

Thats how unselfish he is:highfive:
