No they wouldn't but they would be a lot closer than this current team though. The 92 team has the better frontline and the best player, and best coach. The 96 dream team would whoops this team ass.

Say everyone is healthy this year.

Wade/Kobe/Rose/Cp3/Dwill VS Mike/Magic/Stockton/Drexler

Advantage 12 squad. It would just come down to how bad the 12 frontline would get abused.

The athleticism "advantage" these new cats have is overstated.

What big is more athletic than David Robinson? Love, and Chandler surely isn't, and Blake is just a more athletic highlight dunker.

Ewing is more athletic than love and chandler.

Barkley was a freak of nature athletically.

Lebron, Carmello, Durant, Russy, D Will Cp3, vs a prime jordan, prime drexler, prime pippen, past his prime magic, mullin - isn't a stomp for the 2012 team either athletically. I didn't even include that old nikka bean

it's highly overrated, a 40 year old Jordan was averaging 21 on cats half his age in 2002, think about that. a 40 year old Jordan was hitting game winners over Shawn Marion in 2002.

can you imagine Blake Griffin trying to hold Barkley on the block? :laugh:

It's MJ. Even Kobe thinking that would be perceived as a slight in Jordan's point of view. You saw his HOF speech. He don't forget shyt

I bet money he called that nikka like :mjpls:. They are both hypercompetitive a$$holes. They have probably had numerous conversations along these lines and MJ has probably said similar shyt to Kobe himself. If you would like to experience what Kobe experienced call your pops, uncle, older brother/cousin etc. and say "I coulda beat you when you were in your prime." Same concept.

The problem with this is you take quantity over quality.

Jordan is better than everyone on this list, and Magic is a matchup nightmare for anyone trying to guard him.

Not to mention these guys all can't play at the same time, and their games don't mesh as well as the 4 guys on the 92 squad.

Exactly, Jordan was doing his thing against Kobe in his prime while Mike was celtic (old nikka) status back then.
