The Dream would eat Yao for breakfast and still be hungry.
It'd have to be Nash, Petrovic, Oscar Schmidt, Nowitzki, and Sabonis with TP, Kukoc, Manu, Pau, Bodiroga, Yao and Olajuwon...
...still USA in a LANDSLIDE. No defense on the foreighn team to speak of. You could say Yao and Pau are okay, but not enough.
That is no slouch of a foreign team, by any stretch. Sabonis was awesome, Olijuwon was a 2 way player, and you have some of the greatest offensive players of all time. Nash can score and pass with the best of them... granted he would be a black hole on defense, Dirk can score like no other 7 footer, Kukoc can keep the ball evenly distributed, and do anything the coaches ask him to do. Manu is a phenomenal slasher, and depending on the rules, TP is adequate as a starter (to be benched in the 4th to let Nash in). Pau and Yao make up a phenomenal bench.
Let us not forget Olijuwon did play for the US olympic team, as did Duncan.
That team would keep things close with the all time great US team.
