how people keep forgetting the stockon leads the league in steals, you think he's not gonna take advantage of the already turnover prone westbrook. smh @ the so called pg advantage. how is 6'0" cp3 gonna defend 6'9" magic in the post?

Stockton was good at off ball defense, Kenny Smith would drop 30 on him. Westbrook would leave him for :dead:

Westbrook would have to make jumpers or good passes. the lane would be cutoff to him by the bigs and the wings. stockton would eat up his lazy passing and his poor shot selection combined with the fact that the 2012 team wouldn't get any rebounds would cost them the game.

westbrook would have to be on the bench during this matchup.

the 2008 team is better than this current one. So much potential if dho, wade, and rose wasn't injured:noah:

The Dream Team ain't cutting off the lanes and not have to pay for it. You do realize Melo, Harden, Iggy, and Bron can hit FIBA threes with no problem. Stockton was coming off the bench for Magic.

The Dream Team ain't stopping CP3, Deron, or Westbrook. No one has an answer for them. Stockton would get his s*it kicked in v. any three of them. :dead: This ain't Utah, you can't run the PnR all day in FIBA ball. Why you think Rondo got cut. :manny:

Just like you said. the 2012 team would have to live or die by the three. They ain't getting any signitficant numbers anywhere else against the dream team. If they do like they did against nigeria and hit 1000 3s in one game then they'll win easily, but Mj and pippen are great perimeter defenders so it's more likely that the 2012team has alot of empty posessions because like i said. they arent getting any rebounds.

Clyde Drexler was on Mad Dog Radio Monday morning and said that after all the shyt LeBron and Kobe been talking that they would beat the '12 team by 55. like i told my pops last night, people get a sense of nostalgia when talking about the '92 team. i understand what they meant to the basketball world. but they were playing bums 20 yrs ago. the best Euro player at the time was Toni fukkin' Kukoc. now its anywhere between the Gasol bros, Tony Parker, and Dirk.

It's not about who the '92 team played, it's about how the '92 team would match up against this current Olympic team. The matchups simply favor the '92 team. This current team is perimeter oriented and relatively weak inside. The '92 team was a lot more complete and well rounded. Not only did they have the clear advantage inside, they arguably had the advantage in the perimeter too.

Why so bytchy? If you don't agree then simply explain why. I don't get why you would be offended by the next man's opinion.

This current team may be deeper in talent on the perimeter overall, but you can only play 5 guys at a time. Give me Magic, prime Mike, Pippen, and Drexler and I'll be able to matchup with any combination of perimeter players from this current team.
