I don't know enough about bball to know frankly - I'm just tired of these guys running their mouth
we need to do a true roster comparison. Who would guard Jordon? Kobe? anyone from 1992 that could match up with Durant?
Pippin would shut down Durant and Jordan would shut down Kobe. LeBron is the guy from 2012 that no one from 1992 could handle. But where 1992 would dominate is in the post. Charles & Malone at the 4 with Ewing and Robinson at the 5 would destroy Love, Melo, Chandler and Davis.
What makes you think pippen can shut down Durant? I know he is a better defender but Durant would destroy melo. Who is a bigger, stronger and more athletic pippen.

Melo sucks. You would have been better off leaving him out of your argument.

Too funny. Absolutely agree pippen was a better defender. Just looking for someone the same size as pippen.
I agree with your point. One irrelevant point. Jordan wasn't a good outside shooter. Or at least not a consistent one. He shot below .250 6 times in his career. And a couple of the years he shot above .250 it was because he didn't take that many three point shots. His strength was always overpowering people down low or mid range jumpers.We have seen the current team struggle against teams that could shoot outside. Who on the current team would have a clue against Bird. Add to that Stockton, Drexler, Pippen, and Jordan who could all shoot from the outside. Inside who on this team handles Malone? Throw in Ewing and Robinson and 92 dominates inside and outside.

The people who rave about no match for Lebron didn't spend much time watching Magic. Magic was Lebron before Lebron was born. He was to big and powerful to stop with a guard, to quick and skilled to stop with a forward, and on top of it a completely unselfish player who took more pride in making others around him better than in his own stats.

This years team has some excellent players, lock HOFers but memory is always short and people buy into the current hype. The 92 team would not only beat this years team but they would run them.

I hope the US gets bounced early. That is right. I'm a traitor to our country for basketball. Tired of watching these guys run their mouth about how they would crush the Dream Team. It would amuse me to no end to see them get knocked out before medals.
Regarding the 1992 team, they also had Chris Mullin who was a pure outside shooter and was in his prime.
Was the Dream Team ever down 12-15 in a game in which they were a 50+ favorite?
what is the current score? how much time is left.
