    Default Anyone still think the 2012 team is better than the Dream Team?

    Or are you still living in your "LeBron is GOAT!!!!!" fantasy world?

    Was proud of Dream Team because of the people and players they were. This group? I wish the next 10 years would pass today so that I don't have to listen or watch this group of thugs.

    It's not even fun because of what they represent and their thoughts of entitlement.

    I don't think anyone who understands basketball really thought that the 2012 team is better than 92.

    I don't think anyone thought the 2012 team was better than the Dream Team. I think they just thought that they could beat them and that was it.

    I do think the original 2012 USA team before the injuries would have a much better chance though.

    Patrick Ewing, Barkley, Admiral and Malone would have a field day against this team. However the team is constructed because of FIBA style. If USA is constructed to play agains the Dream Team, they would have guys like Howard Bynum, Garnett and Duncan.

    Games like today's reinforce Team USA's fragility inside. Nobody's ever denied that. Still doesn't mean they can't give the Dream Team a legit series. What's annoying is those who pretend it wouldn't even be close based on the competitiveness of some of these Olympic games, not realizing how the competition today is far superior to what it was in '92.

    USA 80 - Brazil 69

    USA 86 - Argentina 80

    USA 99 - Lithuania 94


    I doubt if the 2012 US team could even stay within 20 points of the '92 Dream Team.

    WTF drugs are you smoking?

    I'd take '92 Croatia or '92 Lithuania teams any day over the crap teams at this tournament.

    You NBA only fans are a mother****ing joke.

    You can f-ing have him and them. Jordan, bird, magic and every other player in that team would have beaten the --it ou of this group and then rubbed it in only through a firm handshake and a smile afterwards. None of them were media whores just dying for everyone to know what they were or weren't going to do every second of the day. None of them acted like everyone's world revolves around what they did. They were basketball players - period. So many on this current squad play the game as something secondary in their lives. Where they are going to play, how many people pay attention to them, and shit like that ruins it for those of us who simply want to watch.

    Dying for old school.

    No they wouldn't.

    Garnett and Duncan are whiny babies who refused to play for their country.

    Duncan b/c he didn't like the way fouls were called in FIBA ball and Garnett b/c of some BS security concerns.

    You don't get to choose guys that wouldn't be playing.

    The 2012 would beat the 92 team if the game was played with a time machine.

    The players are better now. Especially defensively.
    And the foreign teams are much better now than anything the dream team played.

    However, the 92 as far as historical rankings and compared to their peers was much better.
