because every highlight has shown him getting cooked (he's Scottie Pippen on D compared to Lillard though)


Zach has yet to take a bad shot this whole tournament, even when he misses.

You could say that about every player not named Draymond or Jrue.

2008 and 2012 have better players. :childplease:

dream team slaughtering a bunch of farmers and plumbers 30 yrs ago doesnt change that
:mjlol:Just say you don’t know basketball and move along.

The ‘92 team was unquestionably better. The starting center of the 2012 team would’t even be considered for the dream team. They had much better bigs, better defenders, better passing/playmaking, and the best to ever pick up a basketball in his absolute prime.

:unimpressed: Who they played doesn’t matter a team almost top to bottom with first ballot HOFers isn’t losing to a team with Chandler, D-Will, Iggy, Love, and a rookie AD in the lineup

The same dream team with aids ridden Magic and old ass broken down Bird?

The same team with unathletic cac Stockton running the point?

Lol at Ewing. Prime Dwight was better than him

The 08 and 2012 teams had Kobe, Bron, Wade, CP3 and KD all in their prime. All of whom are better than anyone you can name not named Jordan
:russ: @ Dwight being better than Ewing (who was not even the best big on the dream team). Dwight in his prime played in unquestionably the WORST era of centers in modern history. I remember reading top 10 center lists that included Kendrick Perkins in it at that time. And he was still criticized for having no post game. And could be contained 1 on 1 by Perk and other big physical post defenders. You can’t have watched basketball very long with a take like that lol

Stockton was the back up point. A first ballot HOFer who leads in all time assists and steals coming off the bench. :mjlol: Meanwhile the ‘12 team had a menacing second unit with Iggy, Kevin Love, and D-Will coming off the bench with Tyson Chandler starting. Looking forward to their inductions lmao

:mjlol: Prime CP3 is better than prime Admiral, Barkley, Ewing, and Malone. You might as well have just typed “I don’t know basketball” and be done with it.

:russ: You know you have no argument when you’re bringing up scrimmages

Prime Jordan is measurably better than any version of Kobe ever and the numbers and tape back it up. It is not even remotely close.

:unimpressed: Magic was 32 and one year removed from averaging 19/13/7 on 62% TS and leading a team to the Finals. Bird and Laettener didn’t get off the bench.

Mullin is a HOFer. Stockton is a first ballot HOFer and the all time leader in two of the five major statistical categories.

:mjlol: Mike, Pippen, Admiral, Chuck, Malone, Clyde, and Magic are not only “running” with anyone on the ‘12 team, they’re running circles around them. And the HOF rim protection is shutting everything off in the paint. Ewing/Admiral would dominate Tyson Chandler to the point where he may never pick up a basketball again lol

:mjlol:
You post like you’ve literally never watched highlights of any basketball before the year 2000, let alone watch full games to the point where you understand the players you’re talking about

I fail to see how a guard rotation of Stockton, Mullin, Clyde and Jordan is better than Kobe, CP3, JKidd, Wade, Harden, young Sabo etc

Or how aids ridden Magic, Pippen and a broken down Bird is better than KD, Bron, Melo etc

The 92 team has no argument other than nostalgia. The 2008 & 2012 teams are objectively better. Facts :yeshrug:

that college select team was the best competition the dream team had that year and the dream team went 1-1 against them :russell:

not only did this so-called most dominant team ever with 1st ballot HOF up and down the roster NOT completely trash a green college team led by the epitome of white privilege bobby hurley, but they LOST :to: i put more stock in the results of the scrimmages where their opps actually hooped, went to the nba, and had some pedigree than any of the games they played against goat farmers from lithuania

just face facts, those dudes are not running circles around shyt, you can list off their names over and over but the proof is in what happened on the court back then when they faced competition that wasnt utter trash. they weren't unbeatable and 08/12 just have better players breh.

:mjlol:If you’re counting scrimmages as games, you’ve never picked up a basketball in your life. More than likely haven’t even done anything athletic whatsoever. This is the most pathetic argument I have ever seen in a basketball discussion

:mjlol: You already know the Dream Team is unquestionably the best when these nikkas have to COMBINE the ‘08 and ‘12 team to put together even a passable argument against them. A few posts ago you tried to slickly include Wade and KD on the same list as if they ever played Olympic basketball together. And yet if I started randomly combining the ‘96 team with the ‘92 team I could easily shut all that shyt down :mjgrin:

“Better players” even though ‘92 has more MVPs, titles, FMVPs, DPOYs, and every player minus Laettner is a HOFer, while a minimum of 3-4 guys on the ‘12 team who won’t sniff the hall.

“Better players” even though you’re combining two teams to compare to one because you can’t just argue ‘92 to ‘12 straight up :mjlol:

I'm not offended by you at all, you are just young and have a terrible opinion

it is what it is ... continue on and enjoy yourself :yeshrug: I'm not gonna argue about if 30 year old magic Johnson was "suffering from "mad injuries" to where 10 years of his career would be in immediate danger :mjlol:

I can tell you're about 20-23 just off that.... welcome to adulthood though breh, you made it.

this dude so pressed hes making shyt up now :russ:

quote where i mentioned wade and kd together

i also said 2012 and 2008 were both better than 92 on their own so theres that:stopitslime:

anyone with a competitive bone in their body would know the dream team took that scrimmage seriously. you didnt even make jv did you. never catch the 2008 team losing to the select team made up of actual nba players tho :mjlit:

you know how you dont know shyt about ball when you keep talking about how many hall of famers like that matters in a game. when it gets tight the bench shortens and 3-4 of those hof whose dikk you love sucking are glued to the bench:wow:

all this to distract from your original crybaby ass tantrum that tatum cant get burn on this
flabby ass olympic squad :comeon:

u doing too much breh
