i might be alone but as most of yall know i dont give a damn. this team over the summer was by far the best group of basketball players i have ever see. size athletically skills defense and it was against better comp.

I think the 92 team was the best ever...but it really is hard to compare because the game is so different...

I gotta say though, even though the comp was much much better, that doesn't mean the Dream Team wouldn't have won in this tournament...they just wouldn't be beating people by 50, (like the current team also did not).

They had a few guys in the twilight of their careers though, and this team was pretty much all prime guys except for Kidd...

But I still gotta give the edge to 92...I don't think it's as close as people make it out to be just by the competition argument...

see my thing is you had magic and bird all at the end of their career. mullen was good but he wouldnt even make this team. and christian leatner never panned out. stockton was still great but thats about even advantage paul and deron. kobe wade and redd vs drexller and jordan. even but advatage redeem team. then you got melo lebron bosh dwight boozer prince playing the 3 thru 5. who on dream team can even come close to gaurding lebron. pippen will get destroyed. i dont think it would be a blow out but i think by far this team was the best team overall. there has never been this much talent on one team ever.

92 team was a balanced team of players who were complete players, who could play offense and defense consistently, all of them could shoot from anywhere on the court, and even though they were superstars on their own team, they blended together seamlessly. this team was not the best blend of talent since then, i think the 2000 team was better than 2008 talent-wise, and they had to play together every summer to get to know each other. the 92 team came together and showed why they were the best.

The originals would win.

The 2012 team should be better than both if some of these guys stay on.
