Man if you want pure comedy just walk up to any group of cats that are older than you at some sort of family function and start talking shyt about any sort of competition. :ooh: All you gotta do is sit back and watch the magic happen. :yes: To this day I call my pops up just to get him started. :troll:

Man, as a grown man to this day I STILL get met with the:

:comeon: "there you go dreaming again"

The International game is different. Guys like Robinson, Ewing and Laettner would hurt the original Dream Team in today's game because they'd be stuck guarding 7 footers with guard skills. Very little post play in international ball. Those bigs would be useless.

Please name these 7 footers with guard skills they would be guarding? In the current NBA, we have no one who is 7ft with guard skills.

The international "centers", whether 7 foot or 6'-8" aren't playing the way centers play in the NBA. It's a different game.

This is true but I thought the comparison was between the Dream Team and this years USA squad not the Dream Team and the Olympic field. Also those 7footers with guard skills would've had to guard those guys too. They would've had to try to get boards over those guys.

What you have to understand is, Jordan probably never read the quote from Kobe and however the reporter asked him the question at the golf course is how he responded. Not to say that he still wouldn't have shytted on this team but w/ that said...

DREAM TEAM shytS ALL OVER THIS TEAM

Lmao! There is a vast difference between being 7ft with guard skills to being Lebron James size having guard skills. The game may be "different" but to win it's still the same. Defense and rebounding. the 92 team had both at a decisive edge over this current rendition of the dream. Name these international centers who would've given us trouble? We went against, Divak, Sabonis, etc.. I'll take them over who they might face today. Especially sabonis.

Did you watch this year's NBA Finals? Serious question. You don't understand how a 5 who can shoot from 23 feet can draw the opposing 5 away from the basket?
