1992 Dream Team Vs 2012 USA Team

[key2win]

The players on the 2012 team yesterday said they think they could beat the original dream team.

Honestly even with Dwight, Wade, Bosh, and Rose instead of Harden, Iguodala, Chandler, and Westbrook no way this team beats the original Dream Team. With the exception of Christian Laettner, the other 11 players are all Hall of Famers. It should have been Shaq, then all 12 players were Hall of Famers. Only reason Laettner was chosen was because he won the NCAA Championship. Magic and Bird were injured and not in their prime years. At everyone's peak, original dream team wins.

It was mostly Kobe making that claim right? Either way, no contest in favor of the dream team.

Kobe and Lebron talked about it. I think Chris Paul did too.

Speaking of the original Dream Team...I found these 3 cards the other day going thru some stuff, very cool panorama of the best team EVER!

The 92 team would win for sure.

To be fair, the media "baited" Kobe into the question. He is a competitor and probably spoke with his first instinct. However, I like Bird's response about how today's team probably could be the 1992 team, afterall, they are all 20 years older now and all in their late 40's.
