G - CP3 | D-Will | Kidd
G - Kobe | Wade | Redd
F - LeBron | Melo | Prince
F - Bosh | Boozer
C - Dwight

'12
G - CP3 | Westbrook | D-Will
G - Kobe | Harden
F - Durant | Carmelo | Iggy
F - LeBron | Love
C - Chandler | AD

Both were dominant during the Olympics, but I believe the 2012 had a higher margin of victory vs opponents, the bench on the 2012 is also insanely deeper & more versatile.

You are talking to someone who says Iverson>LeBron best to ignore.

Well yeah you replaced bosh with Durant, huge upgrade.

Only downfall is 2008 kobe was peak kobe and 2012 kobe was pretty much falling out of his prime.

Did you just make a post without mentioning Kawhi? That's a first.
