Who do you think would win if the 1992 Dream Team took on the 2012 Dream Team? I think the 2012 Dream Team has a good point mentioning a lot of the players weren’t in their prime.
Michael Jordan’s response:
“For him to compare those two teams is not one of the smarter things he ever could have done. “I heard Kobe say we were not athletic,” said a smiling Jordan as he sat in a golf cart puffing on his cigar while waiting to tee off. “But we were smart. He said we were too old, but I was 29 and in the prime of my career. Pip (Scottie Pippen) was 26 or 27, (Charles) Barkley was 29, Patrick (Ewing) was 29 and Chris Mullin was 29. Almost everybody was still in their twenties.” I’d like to think that we had 11 Hall of Famers on that team and whenever they get 11 Hall of Famers you call and ask me who had the better Dream Team. Remember now, they learned from us. We didn’t learn from them.

Why does the media even entertain this shit!!! Half of the new guys dont even have any heart let alone there is no more natural positions every player is a perimeter player. its like comparing weezy to pac……blasphemy!!!!!
exactly.. they have nothing to talk about until about another week or so for the Olympics.. BASEBALL is basically dead.. so they have to start TALKING this buufooonery.
we are talking about probably the greatest sports team ever assembled.. Football doesnt have olympics.. and Baseball really doesnt either.. so what does that leave Golf… Soccer… Track.. Swimming?
smh @ KOBE.. for even opening his mouth.. he should be thinking about how to get 7 rings, than brag at how good his Off-season squad is..
Jordan.. Bird.. Magic… Stockton.. Malone.. Pippen.. Barkley.. Drexler.. Robinson.. I mean that’s just an insult to all of those guys.. they need to put #24 in check fast.
its not blasphemy not at all. and the fact that kobe said this shows some ppl have heart or atleast he does. anyone who says this will get roasted in the media
put u got mike in his prime at 29 wit only 2 rings so he got fresh legs and stamina vs a 33yr old kobe? i’d give that to mike, but kobe thinks he better than mike so thats what makes the difference in his eyes.
then u got lebron current mvp, current champ vs. magic who went to finals in 91, then retired due to hiv in 92. i’d give the edge to lebron cuz magic was old but still effective, but old.
then u got durant vs. larry bird. if u saw the dream team movie u know larry was finished by 92 no more gas in the tank and durant just getting started so i’d give that to durant.
then u got maybe melo vs barkley. barkley won the mvp and went to the finals right after they came home from barcelona so i guess that goes to barkley
then u got drexler who just went to 2 finals in the previous 3 yrs. 90,92
then u got ewing and drob vs. tyson chandler???
thats where this match up is lost
u still got cp3 vs stockton- i’d go wit cp3
u got blake griffin vs karl malone – i’d go wit malone
just cuz jordan pippen barkley drexler ewing are in they prime in 92 i’d go with them.
this yrs usa team doesnt even have its best dwade, drose, bosh,dwight alot of ppl had to bow out for injuries so that matters too.
you guys are idiots if you think this team would beat the 92 team. Size alone would kill the 2012 team. And Lebron would be shut down by Pippen and Barkley. The 92 team would win by +15 in a game.
pippen might have a good chance of guarding lebron. dont ever open your mouth to say barkley can guard lebron u sound ridiculous. in what world is barkley holding lebron, barkley has never made the all nba defensive 1st or 2nd team in his entire career. u probably a lebron hater most likely lol
lets be real, the 92 team was old! the game has changed since 92 it is more about athleticism then skill. in this day and age, its all about athleticism, i think this team would blow out the dream team
athleticism never NEVER wins over skills. skills is forever, athleticism is with youth. why do you think dudes win rings in their late 20s early 30s?? thats when they gained their skills and put a push on sheer athleticism. dream team would easily take. that team was full of people that hated each other, old heads, and egos and yet they completely without a question destroyed every team by 30+. 2012 got a squad full of soft, bffs dudes thats straight hollywood. them niggas too soft to even be considered.
Man I think the USA team today would beat the dreamteam in todays game you have to have a lot more athleticism to keep up with these players and mind you there has never been a player even compared to lebron or durant they are in a class of their own so Jordan and barkely shud shut all that noise down sayin that they cud beat them. They were a good team but cudnt’t keep up with player’s in today’s game its like total opposite….
kobe is hilarious, still thnkin he better than mike, or ervin btw. 92, anytime, any age, period.
aight listen up you bunch of baloney crackheads. lebron james would eat all the 92 fools ALIVE they wouldn’t even get a shot up on my dawg kingjames but hold up we’ll bench james since they so shit lets put in my homie durantula to take care of these fools EAT EM
Y’all fools need to go try that new drink lebrons promoting
BITCH JORDAN WOULD DESTROY KOBE PUNKASS KOBE GONNA CRY AND SHIT AND START SUCKING LEBRONS DICK TO GO BACK HIM UP ON THE COURT C’MON KOBE>JORDAN QUIT THE JOKES BRO YOU RIDING KOBES DICK HARDER THAN I AM ON LEBRONS
Kobe: “I would obviously take Jordan”
what a cocky cunt
