Most of the "dream team" is in their 50s and very fat. Wouldn't be a contest.
But what if the dream team were teleported to the future as fetuses and grew up in the same age of basketball and athletic training as the current team?
Everyone on the the 92 team except one are in the hall of fame. Definitely can't say 11 out of the 12 on this team are.

there isn't a current member of the hall of fame that could, in their prime, guard kobe.
If you picked a 12 man team from the members of the two teams it would consist of 8 players from this years team and 4 from the dream team. Therefore, the 2012 team is twice as good as the Dream Team. Fact.

Stockton

or durant, westbrook, lebron, chris paul...
as careful as stockton was with the ball, and as great as he was at taking it away, chris paul would break his ankles, westbrook would blow past him (probably give up a decent amount of turnovers). lol if you think an older magic could guard deron williams, cp3 or russel. the match up's are just not in the dream teams favor.

See my above post. A husky Malone could not in any way shape or form keep up with Lebron James. Maybe he could compete against Kevin Love. MAYBE.
picture the greatest michael jordan, charles barkley, karl malone, larry bird, magic johnson plays in your mind. those plays happen multiple times in every NBA game today. players have just committed themselves to being better than they did back then. this is before even considering that today's player is a vastly superior athlete.

2012 Brazil would beat the Dream Team in a best of 7.
When I'm down, I like to think about Larry Bird trying to guard Kevin Durant or maybe trying to close out Lebron on the perimeter or run with Carmelo in transition, and it always brings a smile to my face.
Also, it's fun to see my friends get older and start to get all Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) about Jordan the way my dad was about Bird/Magic.
The current dream team would make Bird/Magic (at any age) look like a bunch of Jenny Craig trainees in snowshoes trying to take a tennis ball away from a Dalmatian.

I agree, but I don't think they are much better, or even quite as good as the rest of the team. You are singling out the two worst players on the team who were only selected to appease the NBA tucks (who no longer exist, btw) and would have never played, only that team won all of their games by about 50.
I think a best of 7 series goes 7 games, and the 2012 team probably wins because they don't have geriatric players assigned to the bench.
Jesus mother rough ridin' christ this thread is full of rough ridin' dumbshit. This years team barely beat rough ridin' Brazil and now they're gonna walk all over the dream team? I can see why we don't deserve good basketball here, you mother rough ridin' morons don't even know what good basketball is you dumb rough ridin' piece of crap moronic faggots
If any of the current #15-#30 best NBA players had played in the 80s/90s they would currently be seen (by dumbasses) as the greatest basketball player to ever play the game and people would be saying that nobody could ever surpass them. Their complete domination of the 80s/90s era players would make them seem much better then they actually were.

how many times does he have to explain this. he's not saying bird/magic during the dream team years. he's saying them each in their prime. Felix is specifying that Magic/Bird IN THEIR PRIME NOT DURING THE DREAM TEAM ERA would look hilariously awful against the current crop of NBA players. I would personally take it further and add that Michael Jordan IN HIS PRIME or anyone else on the original dream team IN THEIR PRIME would look bad against the current best of the NBA. ie. a currently aging Kobe well past his prime would dominate a Michael Jordan in his prime.
Pretty sure in 2032 when basketball players are robots and the goal is 50 ft high the old dorks will still take the Dream Team in a best of 7.
I mean, they had Bird and Mullin coming off the bench! THE BENCH!
so, i'm pretty sure nobody in this thread is serious. right?

Lebron could shut down Robinson, Malone, Barkley, and probably Ewing.
i still think jordan could take lebron one-on-one.
jordan was big/athletic enough in his prime to play today IMO. Probably david robinson as well.

I just never got Chris Mullin at all. Went back and looked at his career stats and going into the 92 Olympics he was coming off 4 consecutive seasons of scoring at least 25 points per game, and had one more season over 25 ppg right after that. I guess it's easy to discount him because he's an ugly white guy with a terrible buzz cut.
:lol:
Durant and Bird a wash. LOL. You have to be on crack.
Also you forgot about Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Love, Tyson Chandler (reigning defensive MVP), and how good of an athlete russel westbrook is. The 2012 team have 3 or 4 guys who can guard 1-3 (dominantly) and 1-4 (effectively).
agreed. some of those guys would see time. a lot wouldn't.
Jordan (probably a starter for most teams today in his prime. possible all star.)
Robinson (role player big man, would start for some teams)
Ewing (role player big man, would start for some teams)
Bird (bench)
Pippen (bench)
Drexler (bench or euro)
Malone (role player)
Stockton (Euro)
Mullin (Insurance salesman)
Barkley (Euro)
Magic (bench or role player)
Laettner (male model)

Was Mullin fat? Because I remember him like a fat Mike Miller who didn't win championships. Also, I'm assuming that all the DreamTeam Believers also think that Red Grange would be a Heisman winner today. Or that Babe Ruth would be winning battle titles. And that their dad can beat up your dad.Mullin was a big time drinker in his early years - IRCC his flattop years were when he was sober.

I have a dream team poster. It says "made in heaven" and appears to be a composite of wheaties box photos.
mullin sucked ass in NBA jam
It's probably the same one Belvis Noland still has hanging above his bed :lol:
And Larry Bird has officially passed into 30 rock mythology as a "white myth." He may as well be rough ridin' St Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland or whatever.

Isiah Thomas and Bill Lambier.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
The whole argument is that '13 NBA players are superior because science and training has created bigger stronger faster athletes. On the whole, this is true. I think it's most true in football. Probably less true for baseball (sans steroids) and NBA.
Just don't forget that the '92 guys were amazing athletes, most of whom played through the 90s and into the 00s. Were not talking about guys who played with peach baskets and chuck Ts.
Jordan, Robinson, Malone all retired in early 00s and were all stars in the 00s. Pippen, Stockton, Ewing, Laetner all retired in the 00s as well. I mean, Kobe played on the same floor as these guys.
Magic, Clyde, Bird, mullin were all a generation older, but I think they were still athletic enough to play in the '13 NBA.

No effing way malone is 6 10
they have played more hours of basketball at their age than any three of the dream team players had at the same point in their careers. todays players just put more work into the game. the AAU grind instilled this in them early.

Your failure to see understand this might have something to do with thinking David Robinson could compete with Dwight Howard.
Your failure to see understand this might have something to do with thinking David Robinson could compete with Dwight Howard.
Like I said in my list that I compiled for SD, Robinson would be "in the conversation with guys like Howard and Duncan. '13 not many elite centers in the game." I don't know if Robinson is better than Howard, but I think he could compete, i.e. start opposite him and do a nice job.
There simply aren't many great centers in the league today. You basically have Howard and then everybody else. Do you honestly think that guys like Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing in their prime aren't better than current NBA starters Aaron Gray, Marc Gasol, Andrea Bargnani, Andrew Bynum? Sersiouly, quit trolling for a second. Do you honestly believe this?
the thing about the big men of the dream team era was that teams were built around them. 6'8"+ plodders who couldn't play on the perimeter. that crap won't fly today. they would have roles in today's game but they would be minor roles. karl malone wouldn't do crap today. charles barkley would not be able to compete. he just wasn't big, athletic or skilled enough. malone and david robinson were seen as athletic freaks because they lifted weights back when nobody lifted weights. everyone lifts weights now. serge ibaka that okcat mentions WOULD destory karl malone and he's not seen as being good today. he's not seen as being an athletic freak. he would have been then.

steve dave says "Hey retards, ESPN is wrong"
well, the world record for points in a game was set in 1964 and the world record for rebounds was set in 1960, so science obviously shows that basketball players stopped getting better in the mid-sixties.

yeah, shaq changed the way the game was officiated and made it necessary for the guys to be so much stronger and more athletic. The game is just so much more physical now, which has really reduced the ability of centers to score. Back in the olden days, Olajuwon could just run to the block every time and the other team would let him catch it and he would do a hook shot with no one touching him. BFD.
At lunch today I blurted out, lebron vs magic. My coworker spit spaghetti out his nose.
lebron, though he didn't have to answer.
I almost followed up with Malone vs Blake griffin but I didn't want to kill the guy.
There is just no winning with these people.
Btw Andrew Bynum would absolutely obliterate Ewing or Robinson. It wouldn't even be close. Longer, taller, stronger and more skilled.

Let's be honest here, 2012 would probably have beat the '92 losers by the same margin.
On a related note, watched Great Britain play yesterday. Don't know if we play em, but I imagine we'd beat them by about the same margin as we did Nigeria.
would probably beat the '92 geezers in a 5v10 by a million, at this rate
According to some people I know there's no way MJ would've let the 92 team lose. NO WAY!
