Absolutely. Not even close. MOST of the Dream Team are top 50 NBA players - all time.

 

I agree with you that that the Dream Team is better...However, I don't think you can say that by your logic. Because if they did a new Top 50 players when this was said and done...several from the Dream Team would fall out because they would be replaced by guys on this team.

I think the original Dream Team would kill this current team. Just my opinion, of course.

Kobe can't carry Jordan of 92's jock :thumb:

When Kobe wins 5 NBA titles, then we can maybe talk about him carrying that jock.

At this point the only one's I see on that top 50 would be: Kobe, Lebron, and maybe Dwayne Wade at some point.

 

Versus: MJ, Bird, Magic, David Robinson, Pippen and Drexler (?) who made that cut.

At this point in time, Wade would not make the cut. He could eventually but right now.

 

Lebron and Kobe they would definitely be on there.

 

So you are right in the fact that the Dream Team has more top players. Several of the best of all time.

That comparsion doesn't really work though considering all of those players are retired and we've seen what they've accomplished. We can't say that yet about this years team so that argument really holds no water.

Better shooters, and more post presence from the DT. I say they zone it up, and make today's shooters win from the perimeter.

First off this is impossible to justify saying one would easily beat the other for any reason. Who cares how much the DT won by? Nobody was as good then as these teams are now. I think the RT has more players who haven't reached the status that they will become. Kobe has a chance to be considered one of the 2 or 3 best players ever and LBJ has a chance to become the best player ever. DWade if healthy is going to be great. Howard and Bosh are only getting better. Paul and Williams have a chance to become the greatest point guard ever. This team as constructed right now is good. In 2 years they would be even better. Jordan and Bird would probably have willed the DT to a series win, but in a 1 game setting who knows. Problem is it's 16 years apart and will never happen, so why get worked up? I know I personally am enjoying watch this team a whole bunch.

 

Anyone who would choose Kobe over MJ didn't see MJ enough.

The Dream Team would win by 30.

 

You can't be serious

Probably the most accurate statement on here.

You can't be serious

 

Just my opinion of course and yes, I am being serious.
