Y'all are crazy.
NONE of these made up teams would stand a chance against the Lakers.
Y'all are crazy.
All of these made up teams would kick the Lakers ass
I would add a guard and make manu the sixth man
This starting lineup could beat any team in the NBA easily.
Sorry Badfish, but no team put together for a day could beat a real good NBA team.
Not only the Lakers but teams like the Celtics, Cavs, Magic, Nuggets would lay waste to any All Star team. I would even bet the Mavs/Suns would roll a team of All-Stars (ie CP3/Wade/LeBron/Bosh/Dwight).
It takes months to jell as a team no matter how talented they are. A one day All-Star team can't beat any of the elite teams that have been together for months and even years.

They'd sweep the Lakers.
2004 USA team with Duncan, AI, LeBron, CP3, Amare, Melo and came home with Bronze losing to Lithuania and Argentina.
, even Redeem team with the best of the best (LeBron, Dwight, CP3, Kobe, Wade) barely beat out a Spanish team with only one NBA All Star (Pau). Half the guys on the Spanish team wouldn't even make an NBA roster.
The Lakers, Celtics and Cavs probably would have swept the Redeem team.
Y'all are smokin' crack.
Sons, one thing you are forgetting is the rules in those games were different. Big factor.
Excuses, sons, excuses.
So you don't think your analogy is off base taking into consideration the difference in the rules?
Or what about the other dream teams that all over the world for so long?
Yeah, that's what you get when Marbury and Iverson are your point guards. If you switched Marbury out for Williams on my team I'd probably pick LA too.
Blame your boy Kobe for that. He was awful until the fourth quarter of that game., even Redeem team with the best of the best (LeBron, Dwight, CP3, Kobe, Wade) barely beat out a Spanish team with only one NBA All Star (Pau). Half the guys on the Spanish team wouldn't even make an NBA roster.
Ok, let's see
Paul would TORCH fisher and their defense probably enough to win the game on his own lol
Roy isn't Kobe, but he could keep him in check and still get work done
Ron Artest can't contain Melo
Duncan and Dirk would rape anything the lakers put up front
This is a stupid thread, try again another day
The rules do account for a bit. However, there's a huge talent gap as well. This talent gap more than makes up for the rules.
There was a big deal made about Redeem team having to make long-term commitments. No player was chosen unless he agreed to commit to alot of time with the team. How could y'all have missed this?
This is because they knew you can't just throw a bunch of Stars together and expect them to compete as a team.
Look at the 2004 Bronze, look at the 2008 Gold barely won over a very much less talented Spanish team.
So Jordan's first dream team in their first year struggled?
More excuses. AI is a HoF'er. If they had spent a year preparing, 2004 USA would have swept the Argentinians.
You can't expect individuals practicing for a couple of weeks to beat a good TEAM playing together for years.
As usual, Kobe gets all the blame when his team loses and discredited when they win.Blame your boy Kobe for that. He was awful until the fourth quarter of that game.
Or the 92 dream team struggled with all of those stars?
Basketball wasn't even a sport in the world during Dream Team. Opposing players were rushing to get autographs

I don't see how that matters. So you are penalizing the new dream team and saying you can't throw guys together and just win, just because the world got better? The original dream team was stars thrown together and they won. This new team won. I just don't see that stance holding too much weight.
The Dream Teams had no compe ion. That is no longer the case. Angola is a nobody, the Lakers are the World Champs. Big difference in compe ion there.
It's in the stats if you don't believe me.
I can even look up quotes from Colangelo himself saying that the team needed to play together for 3 years.
More stats from 2004 to show you how poor of a team it was..and it had nothing to do with the rules. It was mostly about POOR defense.
No different than the no defense All-Star games.
2004 Olympics - USA Team defense:
#9 in opponent scoring
#10 in defensive FG%
#12 in 3 point defense
Defense takes practice with the team. An ALL NBA team might have great individual offense but would be severely lacking in team defense.
Great defensive teams like the Lakers and Celtics would roll them.
So how does that one instance prove your point is what I am getting at? I can give you examples that disprove it like I did.
Funny, most people just ignore stupid threads...
