    Did the dream team ever win by 83?

    Serious question. They ever win by 80+?

    92 team beats this years version of the dream team in probably 5 games in a 7 game series. Especially if all players were in there prime 92 team much better team.

    This team has 7 future hall of famers. Much more athletic players in today's game. BBack then players were playing against more scrubs than stars. Barely any super teams besides lakers/celtics.

    So the one that struggled to beat Spain in the gold medal game?

    And this years Spain team is better than that one.

    So you guys think Spain has a good chance to beat the us right?

    No I didn't think so.

    You guys are really just saying shit to be edgy. Classic goater right there.

    US had a bad game against Spain and still won by DD. This team missing 2 of the top 6-7 players in the world. Guaranteed 1st ballot HOFmer in Dwayne Wade. Stronger bench. Dwight Howard down low makes the biggest different. He can't be replaced. He would dominate any big man from the Dream team on the defensive end and the glass.

    Barkley? He would get eaten alive by Anthony. No chance to guard a player like that or Kevin Durant.

    08 would have a better chance because of the guys that could guard Jordan. You have 2 of the greatest guard defenders ever in Wade and Bryant in their primes to take turns. and throw Lebron in there too if either gets tired.

    It's about matchups guy.

    Who's gonna guard Robinson or Malone on this team? Tyson Chanlder? Yeah right. 08 team had Dwight.

    No way in hell this years Spain team is better than the 2008 version. Youre talking outta your ass. Navarro is hurt and Rubio is out. Their backcourt is hurting.

    This USA team is missing Dwade, Howard and Bosh. Id rather have Lamarcus over Anthony Davis. Too bad they were injured.

    Rubio was 17 = non factor

    Gaining Ibaka makes this team far better than losing Navarro considering they're guard heavy as it is. Marc Gasol is three times the player he was. Pau might be the key if he's gonna keep playing like a pussbag or if he's going to play like an nba champ.

    A front line of Gasol, Gasol and ibaka is pretty effin good

    It's funny that goat thought Chris Paul was a lock in 2008 and he must have had his crystal ball out to see that bosh was moving to the heat to become a hall of famer

    You guys don't think about your posts much

    Rubio at 17 was still great. Even at 15 he was good.

    Lmao

    yeah he got abused in the 08 olympics

    im not even going to the link....look at his assist to turnover ratio for those games and tell me how good it was considering he was a non factor scoring wise. Sure he's improved Greatly since but he was useless back then.

    Not now he isn't and they'll miss him but he was useless then

    He was a turnover machine who didn't shoot for shit

    He got abused against the USA and didn't play well against anyone else but because he was young he got a major pass from...everyone.

    I always thought this team is better than the dream team.. And take into consideration that it couldve been way better had Howard, Wade and Rose not been injured. Esp Howard

    The 1992 team would kill this team.

    Everyone would be afraid to guard Magic.

    Isiah wasn't hurt though. Howard and Co. are actually injured. Anyways, I think it's stupid to compare these two teams.

    Magic was at the end of his career. He wouldn't be able to guard anyone defensively. You had L. Bird and Magic who were both weak defenders at that time yet no one considers that because most here did not really watch '92 dream team. You think Larry Bird is gonna guard Lebron James? Magic is gonna chase Cp3 around? No chance.

    The Dream Team's advantage would be the interior. Their perimeter players would get destroyed aside from Jordan.
