Time to put these theories to bed that the Redeem Team was on par with the OGs.
Just look at Magic's ridiculous Jason Kidd-like abilities at 6'8", yes better passer than LeBron. Barkley's ridiculous moves as a 6'4" C. Prime Jordan, Drexler the original Westbrook, Prime DRob, Prime Ewing, Prime Pippen would have smothered LeBroom super easily. Only player on the Redeem Team that would have gotten to his spots is Wade. Everyone else like Spot Up Melo (Olympic Melo) would have been shut down by these guys while they ran them out of the gym the other way.
The only way I can see these guys ever going down in defeat was if you made a team of all elite shooters and played Rockettes ball against them. Then perhaps you could exploit their only weakness, which was outside shooting. A roster like the following would probably give them fits with all the long bombing:
KD
Curry
Klay
Iggy
Harden
bench
Westbrook
Porzingod
Doncic
Davis Bertans

'92 Yugoslavia would have too
The Dream Team is the only team that the average fan will name everyone on it. Any other team, a person will struggle to name half the team.
“Never heard of Christian Laettner”
Oh, without doubt. Does anyone actually think the '08 team was better?
Ya that Dream Team faced some really stiff compe ion.
"In awe of the Dream Team, opposing players repeatedly posed for photos taken by their team-mates on the bench mid-match."
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/jul/09/olympic-moments-dream-team-1992
Laettner would’ve been doncic+ in
It doesn't even matter what the compe ion was. Just look at the rosters. 92 was far superior.
Prime
Shaq
Timmy Duncan
Garnett
Al Iverson
Nash
etc
Bench
Kobme (who stunningly accepted a role player position with great D and no chucking in 2008)
Jermain O'neal
I'll play the Dreamers with a roster like this.
Lebron would be cut from the 1992 team
Redeem Team would have lost to Spain if not for Kobe taking over at the end. LeBron/Wade/etc were petrified.
Would've been nice if all those guys signed up for 2004...
Many mediocre shooters against a strong defensive team like '92 is a poor strategy
Sure they do; the college kid.
I don't seem to see huge debate out there over this one, tbh. Most knowledgeable basketball fans will say that the '92 Dream Team was the greatest basketball team ever assembled.
Nash is Canadian though.
Jordan is just a bald DeRozan with a gambling addiction tbh
08 team all day
Laettner was never known for his ability to handle the rockLaettner would’ve been doncic+ in
Doncic is also a superior passer
Was only a partial list.
Ray Allen.
Vince Carter.
Sure there are more.
Timmy Duncs, Shaq and Garnett are going to own the rebounds.
That the Mailman will have his pushed in.
Canada allows dual citizenship.
But after playing for them in the 99 Worlds probably no way he'd convert to U.S.
Altho he did identify as Laker his last years.
He did us a real solid with that one.
need barry m iner on the subject tbh
Those MJ interviews
