The little known secret is that the best overall team is probably the 96 version. No college filler( Laettner) and no honorary selections there( Bird and Magic). I mean the frontcourt has Hakeem, Shaq, Admiral, Malone, Barkley, Pippen and Grant Hill for fukk sakes.

92 96 and 2000 all run the table against 04 08 12 16

LOL at the 2008 or 2012 teams even giving the Dream Team a run when a Spanish team lead by the front court of the Gasol Sisters and a bunch of no names gave them ALL THEY COULD HANDLE in the gold medal games. Imagine the front court of Ewing, Robinson, Barkley and Malone!!! RIP!!!

Plus NO TEAM IN HISTORY is beating the 92' version of MJ surrounded by that much talent, NONE!

The only weak links on that team were Laettner and Bird and with Bird he could still stroke the ball from anywhere and pass it like nobodies business. Magic was only 32 y/o and one year removed from being an MVP runner up.

The 1996 had no cohesiveness particularly because of the young/old dynamic and players like Barkley, Stockton, Robinson and Stockton were ALL better and younger in 1992 plus Shaq, Hardaway and Hill were pretenders that didn't know how to win at that time plus MJ WAS NOT ON THE SQUAD!

Are you taking the teams LeBron played in the Finals or the teams Jordan played in the Finals?

That 2000 team was not that good, they were one Jasikevicius three pointer away from losing.

This. End of the debate. How the fck can anyone be this stupid to think that a team that barely won against Marc + Pau Gasol front court would stand a chance against some of the best centers and PFs ever in Admiral, Ewing, Barkley and Malone? They would crush 'em!

The team that had to play defense as well as squash you offensively = original dream team

The original dream team didn't need to play defense. Their defense was their offense when you blow out every team by 50+

MJ wouldn't last through an Olympics today. Here's what he had to say about blowing teams out by 50+ and how it took a major toll on his body and mind.

"I don't like giving advice on things like that," said Jordan. "Everybody has their own individual goals. Some players may have goals of representing their country, and if that's the case, they should go. But they should know what they're getting into, a grueling five-week process that will eventually take its toll on you mentally and physically."

92 roster has become so overrated. It wasn't even the best roster that they could have formed at the time. They just grabbed all the big name guys they could for an NBA ad campaign.
