    If the Lakers starting 5 were Bryant, Wade, Lebron, Bosh and Gasol
    Kobe Bryant
    Dwayne Wade
    Lebron James
    Chris Bosh
    Pau Gasol

    Their bench would consists of Odom, Bynum, Farmar, Fisher, Vujacic and Powell.

    Would it be as close as a lock for this team to win the nba championship? How many games do you think this team would win for the year? Would they break the Bulls 72-10 record? Would it be almost impossible for this team to NOT win the championship? I know this cannot happen but can anyone see any team in the nba competing against this squad?

    I remembered back in 2004 when Kobe was with Shaq and then Karl Malone and Gary Payton came to the Lakers and I thought there was no way they were not going to win the nba championship because they had 4 all stars all in one team but then lost to the Pistons.

            if they got them together and got them to agree to paycuts so they can create a super team that would be great

            but kobe and bron too egotistical to accept sharing star status with team mates

                    Paco are you serious they would be undefeated assuming no injuries? I still think they lose at least 10 games.

                            most importantly, no team even that talented would ever care about all 82 games, oh yeah, and give me the 91-93 and 96-98 bulls over that stacked team any day of the week and twice on sunday

                              the 2004 us olympic team stacked with pros did not win the gold medal, tells you all you need to know about chemistry, you need role players on a team to win, never mind, you wouldnt understand so whatever, not going to waste my time trying to explain that in basketball, putting a bunch of stars together who all need the ball is bad for chemistry and they would not win, you need scrappers, role players, to do their jobs, in order to win a championship, some of you just would not understand

                                more about that team,

                                he close outcome of 2000 and the humiliating results of 2002 prompted a number of NBA superstars to agree to join the team for the FIBA Americas Championship 2003, which the squad was required to participate in to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics. The team easily cruised to a first-place finish, earning it a spot in Athens, Greece the following summer. However, the dominant team that competed in 2003 could not be kept together. Ten of its 12 players elected not to participate in Athens. The revamped 2004 team consisted of some young NBA stars early in their careers, such as Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, but also included recent Most Valuable Players Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson. The team was coached by Larry Brown.
                                After struggles in several exhibition matches, the vulnerability of the 2004 team was confirmed when Puerto Rico defeated them 92–73 in the first game of the Olympic tournament in Athens. The 19 point defeat was the most lopsided loss for the USA in the history of international competition.
                                After winning close games against Greece and Australia, The USA fell to Lithuania, dropping to 2–2 in the Olympic tournament. Even after an 89–53 win over Angola, the Americans entered the knockout rounds in fourth place due to goal average, the lowest seed of their group. The Americans faced undefeated Spain in their quarterfinal game, winning 102–94.
                                However, the semi-final match saw the team defeated by Argentina, 89–81, ending the United States' hold on the gold medal. The USA did rebound to capture the bronze medal by defeating Lithuania.[21] Still, it marked only the third time that an American team failed to win gold, and the first time for an American team composed of professionals. Before 2004, American teams had only lost two games in all previous Olympic tournaments, whereas in this one the American team lost three.

                                  Malone and Payton were washed up at that point.

                                    funny thing about this is that kobe was not on the team as soon as he shows up they win it all against spain ... No nba player takes the Olympics that seriously ... also it was a early part in anthony and lebron's career if you send them back lebron would take it by his self
