if they played under the old school rules, the new school players wouldn't get to the rim and they'd be punked if they did.

if they played with the new rules, Dream Team perimeter players are gonna be getting uncontested dunks and layups all day. Ball movement the likes the redeem team has never seen before.

And like some mentioned, the Dream Team's big men alone could carry the team. Does anybody think Bosh or Howard are gonna stand up to a Chuck bow? and what happens when Ewing starts sweating on them?

You guys make try to make today's player look really dumb...

They'd have to play under the new rules. Don't know why people always argue that today's players are soft and not tough like the old players.
Obviously they've adapted to the new rules.
If the rules stayed the same, they'd remain "tough," or whatever you guys call it.

"They wouldn't last a single minute playing under those rules."
That's because they don't have to.

Rose is the least of my worries. Magic dominates and Michael Jordan will shit on anyone past, present or future. I also think some people under estimate how good a guy like Barkley was. Robinson, Pippen, Malone, Ewing. Hell, even an aging an injured Bird was a great player in 1992.

Today's superstars are all amazing players but the Dream Team takes this all day.

Concerning the rules the way I see it. If there's an alternate universe where today's players play with the 90s rules, and then they played against today's players with their current rules, then the players from the alternate universe will win. And if they play with the 90s rules, then the players from the alternate universe will still win.

Sometimes you just need experience to really understand it. Like my biggest basketball development comes when I play one on one against this guy who hand checks the hell out of me, I have to try harder, do moves that I normally don't do, develop a fade away, pull up jumpers. He's old, and then when I play against a regular younger person, I just always go by them for a layup, and they are always much easier.

And like it has been said, just the Centers gives the dream team an advantage.

jstern
03-26-2012, 07:33 AM
It's called drug abuse.

I was checking some records, I think running or something, half of the records belong to the 90s and have to 2000 up. But the way people were judging them in the thread, they were taking it to mean that the 2000s are superior rather than equal.

In other words if in terms of records 90 = 2000, then to them it meant that 2000 > 90. But if as a math problem you switched when the events took places and the 2000s coming before the 90s, then it should be the same.

Boring, but I hope it makes sense.

I think it'd be closer than presumed by many. THe dream team dominates up front and at SG but they have absolutely no answer for Rose at all, which takes away most of their advantage because he will be able to score at will and PG's can get the ball on every trip more easy than the dream team's frontcourt players. Can't wait to see him in his prime, even now who the heck on the dream team even begins to slow him down? Magic? LOL. Besides that, today's superstars get along better so they won't handicap themselves with feuds like MJ-THomas

Isiah wasn't even on the Dream team. And you act as if Rose can win by himself, when the current players wouldn't be able to contain the Dream Team on the break(Barkley, Jordan, Drexler, Mullin, Robinson, Pippen all great fastbreak players), Jordan is unstoppable, and Rose would have a hard time guarding Magic as well.

I think today's superstars would win, but only if Rose gets hurt and can't play.

I'm just kidding, but just one constructive criticism, when you start saying things, "Cause they get along better," it really sounds like you're reaching, like you're trying to do whatever you can to put your point in the best light.

Nobody "stops" any superstar scorer. That being said, Pippen would give Durant more hell than any other defender could. Your overrating Durant and under rating Pippen's defense. Durant would def get frustrated and make extra turnovers and bad shots with a lengthy defensive hound like Pippen glued to him. Pippens ability to guard Durant would be >>> than Lebrons ability to defend Durant.

Sounds like if you have size and speed, you will win it all.
If that is the case, Miami should have won last year, and they should win for the next few years. However, it takes a lot more than just size and speed to win games and championships, such as teamwork.

From today's superstars team, say Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Durant, Rose.... on and on... almost all of them are ball dominants. They need to have the ball in their hands to make things happen. Who is going to do the off ball movement? Who is going to sacrifice? Who is willing to put his ego aside and do whatever it takes to win games? This team is going nowhere because they can't even co-exist.

On the other hand, the original 92 Dream Team players, they were not only superstars on their own team, but also tremendous team players. They KNEW the concept of THE TEAM. Offense, defense, half court game, fast break, ball handling, rebound... they knew what their roles were, and showed tremendous harmony in between them. Have you heard anyone of them complaining whom should be the captain, and whom should lead the offense, and whom should handling the ball more? Never. Even the whole team were full of superstars and MVPs, the rookie college players Christian Laettner did not find any problem to co-exist with them. If I am not wrong, Sir Charles even took Christian under his wing, and became buddies.
This team is just a harmony, and each player compliment each other. They had all the essentials and FUNDAMENTALS to win.

Kobe could not co-exist with Shaq; Lebron and Wade cannot decide who takes the last shot and who handles the ball more... these guys can't even settle their egos within their own teams and you think they can when teamming up with more super egos?

May be today's superstars team is more faster and stronger, but I believe the original Dream Team will find a way to win, cause they are true champions.

Really want to see Bynam doing some cheap shots under the basket and how Admiral and Ewing kill him; and Lebron drives to the basket and man-handled by Sir Charles and Mailman.

You have to keep in mind that players from the 60s and 70s were simply playing under the rules they were given at the time as well. They weren't allowed as much improvisation back then because purists felt like it would "bastardize" the game too much.

It's kinda like how the speed limit was 40 mph years ago, now it's averaging 65-80 MPH on the Highway. What was the "norm" in the 60s won't be the "norm" for the 90s and beyond.

The problem is that the Dream Team would all have the mentality to SLAUGHTER the superstars of today. Only Kobe. Westbrook, and Kevin Garnett (who might not even be on the team) share a similar mindset.

With clowns like Howard, the Superfriends in LeBron/Wade/Bosh, Derrick "Muscle Memory" Rose, Kevin "I Wanna Be Like LeBron" Durant, and passive Chris Paul, today's team stands no chance.

Kobe could not co-exist with Shaq; Lebron and Wade cannot decide who takes the last shot and who handles the ball more... these guys can't even settle their egos within their own teams and you think they can when teamming up with more super egos?

May be today's superstars team is more faster and stronger, but I believe the original Dream Team will find a way to win, cause they are true champions.

Really want to see Bynam doing some cheap shots under the basket and how Admiral and Ewing kill him; and Lebron drives to the basket and man-handled by Sir Charles and Mailman.

What?? Miami does not have size at all

Remember when Dwight came to the Lakers, and most people thought they'd kill the league? Or when the Miami trio came together and everyone thought they wouldn't lose?

It all depends. That 08 team in particular was absolutely amazing. It'd be close either way.

You are overrating this era bigtime and nobody except for a few young fans here would agree with you. Dreamteam would murder any version of team on the planet in any era.

I suppose you still think prime Lebron is as good as Prime Jordan right?

Everyone knows that todays players are much better than those that played 20 years ago. The average player of today is 5-6" taller, 40-50 lb heavier, much stronger, much faster, and can jump much higher. David Robinson would look like Danny Devito standing next to Chris Bosh.

The young fans here at ISH weren't around when MJ was shooting two-handed set-shots at peach-baskets and Stockton was dribbling the ball head-high and with both hands on the ball at the same time. And the dunk hadn't been invented yet (nor could anyone back then been capable of it.) And most rebounds were picked up off the floor. And the only passing that Magic did back then was two-handed chest passes to players who were standing still and who caught the ball with both hands.

Scoring? Games of 53-50 were considered wide-open shoot-outs, and the average team was scoring about 40 ppg. Not only that, but they only played half-court back then. And those peach-baskets were only 8 feet high, too.

Can you imagine the nerds of the 90's trying to play against WBNA players today? You see much better basketball being played in church leagues today.

Even worse than the DT, imagine a team consisting of, say, LeBron, Wade and Bosh going against some stiffs and old farts like today's Spurs? The Spurs would get owned by 40+ every game...

Dream Team has Jordan. They are not losing to any team from any era.

Paint area of 1992 Dream Team's

Ewing, D'Rob, Malone, Charles.

Its a carnage beyond recognition. Kobe, wade, melo will see their genitals on the floor minced.

1992 Dream Team's PERIMETER BACK COURT is not even needed.

Correction: Kobe's minced genitals would never reach the floor. They would dissolve into dust and gracefully fade into nothingness before even hitting the floor.

I don't know about the ball movement that would go on.
You guys make try to make today's player look really dumb...

They'd have to play under the new rules. Don't know why people always argue that today's players are soft and not tough like the old players.
Obviously they've adapted to the new rules.
If the rules stayed the same, they'd remain "tough," or whatever you guys call it.

"They wouldn't last a single minute playing under those rules."
That's because they don't have to.

Rules changes, so they changed.

Agreed! Really, all you have to do is ask one question, because nobody on the 92 dream team can stop him....

"Who will guard Kobe Bean Bryant?" The answer is, nobody. 81 pt game.

Checkmate, atheists.

:facepalm Kobe at 34 years old is not the same player that he was when he scored 81 points. And his competition on the Dream Team isn't the f*cking raptors :oldlol:

A prime 28 year old MJ would push 34 year old Beans sh*t in. 34be on his best night wouldn't score 15 against Dream team.

Never mind the perimeter players. The 1992 Dream Team interior alone of Robinson, Ewing, Malone, and Barkley make mincemeat out of 2008's weaksauce big men :oldlol: No contest.

Slight mistake in that post. Kobe doesn't have genitals.
