Kobe ran his mouth and said that the 2012 Team USA basketball team could beat the 92 dream team. It's laughable, really. The Dream Team would win by 20+ points, imo. Thoughts?
I'll post the rosters for comparison.
Dream team: PG: Magic Johnson/John Stockton SG: Michael Jordan/Clyde Drexler SF: Larry Bird/Scottie Pippen/Chris Mullen PF: Karl Malone/Charles Barkley/Christian Laettner C: Dave Robinson/Patrick Ewing
2012 Team UA PG: Chris Paul/Deron Williams/Russell Westbrook SG: Kobe Bryant/James Harden (It should be Eric Gordon instead of Harden, imo) SF: Lebron James/Kevin Durant/Carmelo Anthony/Andre Iguodala (Should be Rudy Gay instead of Iguodala, imo) PF: Kevin Love C: Tyson Chandler/Anthony Davis (Should be Roy Hibbert instead of Davis, imo)

The Dream Team.
Like one NBA anyalist said, most Dream Teamers were in their prime, most of the 2012 team aren't.

Larry Bird on Kobe's comment: "They probably could. I haven't played in 20 years and we're all old now."

The Dream Team would DESTROY the current team. Tyson Chandler would get raped up and down the court by Patrick Ewing and David Robinson.

The 92 Dream Team would win by like 30 points easily.
However, I have to disagree with you Marchingon. Andre Iguodala showed against the Dominican Republic why he is on this team. He is the premier Defensive Stopper in the NBA. He is the Bruce Bowen of his generation. Put him up against the other team's best player, then that player is going to get shut down 90% of the time.

I think the 2012 team could win one in a 7-game series.
