I see Melo has been sharing the magic shrooms with Kobe
ing this. ^^any great compe or welcomes a challenge. people need to stfu hes not going to say o yeah they would beat us.. 92 would probably win, i think because of prime MJ is ing scary, and their zone defense, as someone mentioned barkley ewing malone, thats really tough to break through.

I'd laugh if Jordan tore Kobe's beard apart in the scrimmage just to make a point.
lol...I see Melo has been sharing the magic shrooms with Kobe
I'd watch the olympics if athletes were given hallucinogens
If they play now, the 2012 team would win tbh.
I'm sure Kobe volunteered that opinion out of the blue, and wasn't answering a question about it that some hack reporter came up with just to stir discussion.
Why not? Aren't the 1992 team members all in their 50s? I'm betting on the 2012 Olympic team as well.
Ewing is going to go ape- on the 2012 team and show Blake what Monkeyball really is about. It's going to get really ugly.
Kobe can't win without a dominant front line. In fact, without one, any team with Kobe is 1st round fodder/can't make playoffs.
1992 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1st round fodder/non-playoff team
1992 by 20 points (I am expecting a team with Lebron James to help the team).
all I care about is
5>4
Prime Glide was better than Kobe is now not to mention MJ. And Barkley and the Mailman would destroy the 2012 team.
Kobe also dissed Tyson Chandler the way I routinely diss Mavs>Spurs:
"Yesterday,'' said an Asian reporter to Bryant, "you said that you are the best player in the post other than Tyson Chandler. That being said...''
And Bryant interrupted him.
"No, no, no,'' said Bryant. "Not `other than Tyson Chandler.' The best post player, period. Tyson Chandler's not in that conversation.''
My
I see that you passed Grade 1 math.
I am impressed.
tosb winning another ring??
The 2008 team would have a better chance imo. That being said, neither 2008 or 2012 would win simply because of the front court advantage the original Dream Team would have. There is not a center currently in the league that could hand with the likes of David Robinson and Patrick Ewing. Throwing in Charles Barkley and Karl Malone is just overkill.
I've give the 2012 team an advantage on the wings. Nobody is stopping Lebron or Durant, not even the great Scottie Pippen. Lebron is to strong for him, and Durant is to tall. I would love to see Lebron take a crack at guarding prime MJ though. Not that I think Lebron would stop him, but it would be fun to watch.
After hearing that Kobe Bryant said the 2012 Olympic basketball team would beat the Dream Team, all Charles Barkley could do was laugh.
Barkley, a member of the legendary 1992 gold medal-winning squad, was a guest on The Mike Missanelli Show on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia on Wednesday and fired back at Kobe for his much-discussed remarks.
"I just started laughing," Barkley said. "How old is Kobe Bryant, 36? He's 34? And he's calling us old? At the time, we were only like 28, 29. ... Michael Jordan and me were the same age. We were both 29."
Asked by Missanelli if they would beat the 2012 squad by double digits, Barkley agreed:
"Oh yeah, that's no disrespect," Barkley said. "I ain't got to badmouth them. ... Their point guards weren't going to beat us. That's a no-brainer."
Supporting his belief that his team is the superior squad, Barkley said only three 2012 Team USA players would make the Dream Team.
"Other than Kobe, LeBron (James) and Kevin Durant, I don't think anybody else on that team makes our team."
Barkley also added that the London-bound squad would have problems matching up with the Dream Team's centers, a point even Bryant conceded when he made his remarks on Monday.
"They would have no answers for David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, to be honest with you," Barkley said.
Bryant's comments understandably sparked plenty of debate among fans and the media. You'd think we'd let the 2012 team play at least one game of Olympic compe ion first, but no. Anyway, thanks to Barkley, we can now also speculate over whose spots on the Dream Team Kobe, LeBron and Durant would take. Well, other than Christian Laettner's.

I'd guess it could be close, but the athletism thing just doesnt work for me.
Magic and Bird may be rendered deep bench guys because of that but a lineup of MJ, Pippen, Barkley, Malone, Robinson (+Drexler, Ewing) wouldn't have any trouble because of that.
the line should be something like: Dream Team minus 9
EXACTLY 1992>lebron,kobe and durant
Damn....Kobe needs to take it easy on the bath salts.....smh
Of course they would. The guys on the 1992 team are what, in their 50s now?
Kobe, not the brightest crayon in the box.
No way u sit Magic. Bird you would have to. A lineup of David, Malone, pippen, MJ and Magic is optimal to go against 2012. You need Pippen to have any shot at defending LeBron. Malone and MJ are ball stoppers and David is at his best in transition. Magic would feed those guys and Pippen would too. I hate to bench Ewing Chuck and Bird but that is the best balance of athleticism, defense and speed. Malone, Pip, David and obviously MJ are great enough athletes to play in any era Magic would be the floor general you just hide him in the high middle of a zone.
Get real Tlong...Kobe would mop the floor with Barkley in any era....
Magic, MJ & Malone could prolly beat any team with just the three of them…
