Michael Jordan memo to Kobe Bryant: ‘No comparison’ between Dream Team and 2012 Olympic squad - The Washington Post

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Jordan says there’s no way Kobe Bryant and this year’s USA Olympic basketball team could’ve beaten the 1992 Dream Team.

Jordan told The Associated Press Thursday that he laughed, “I absolutely laughed” when hearing Bryant’s comments that the squad training in Las Vegas could take Jordan and company.

Jordan says there was “no comparison” which team was better, adding that Byrant comparing the two teams “is not one of the smarter things he ever could have done.”

Jordan spoke prior to a celebrity golf tournament in Charlotte.

He says the 1992 team, which included 11 future Hall of Famers and won its six games by an average of more than 43 points en route to capturing the gold medal, may not have been as athletic but was definitely smarter.

Even tho im a young dude i think the Dream Team would beat the Redeem team and this 12 squad. It would be close with the redeem team tho, but they wouldnt have answers for mj, magic and the bigs.

They wouldn't be playing under nba rules

Why not? This is all hypothetical, a fantasy matchup. The best way to determine who the better team would be to play under NBA rules. Why would two domestic teams play under international rules in a fantasy matchup?

And calls is the only way Bron scores and impacts the game?



This is pure crap

No but show Me a game where Lebron didn't get superstar calls and I show you a lose . If Lebron does his pinball shtiick gets knocked back no call what's he going to do next ? His offensive game is limited the mavs shut him down with a zone

Damn...I just typed up some loser shyt

the problem is allot of you don't know what you're talking about. Drexler was 2nd in MVP race in 92, and coming off a finals run. But he was in decline?

Magic was TWO years removed from WINNING an mvp and 1 year removed from being second in mvp race AND leading the lakers to the finals. He wasn't in his prime, but even with HIV, he was far from

Laettner was not garbage, he just wasn't anywhere as good as the other guys.

Bird was really the only one that was done from the Dream Team.

 

[23Barrettcity]

Ok so exactly would Lebron be useful for?? Stop posting smilies admit you didn't watch 90s ball and shut up . The mans talented but to be almost 10 years in and be that raw ?
