Dream Team vs. Redeem Team

[frankb03]

the only guy on the redeem team i'd even consider giving the ball to in a must win spot would be kobe. the rest of them no chance.

I'd add Wade to this list.

[GOLDENGREEK]

G.... Magic Johnson G.... Jason Kidd (tragic is far better than kidd)
G.... Michael Jordan G.... Kobe Bryant (Jordan by a mile)
G.... John Stockton G.... Chris Paul (tie, stockton in his prime was a nasty PG)
G.... Clyde Drexler G.... Dwyane Wade (drexler wade isnt nearly as talented)
G/F. Scottie Pippen G.... Deron Williams (pippen)
F.... Larry Bird G.... Michael Redd (come on now. is there any question here?)
F.... Charles Barkley F.... LeBron James (lebron hands down)
F.... Karl Malone F.... Carlos Boozer (malone its not even close)
F.... Chris Mullin F.... Carmelo Anthony (mullin far better shooter)
F.... C. Laettner F.... Tayshaun Prince (prince he is better all around)
C.... Patrick Ewing C.... Dwight Howard(tie for this one)
C.... David Robinson C/F. Chris Bosh (robinson by a huge margin)


my takes on it

AGREE WITH ALL EXCEPT FOR DREXLER / WADE

AND THE BARKLEY / LEBRON ISNT A FAIR MATCHUP

BARKLEY / BOSH

This is being way overlooked, the world is 10 times better in 2008 than it was in 1992.

It's insignificant. I'm not comparing how each team did vs. they're international competition. When you compare the Redeem vs. the Dream team IMO overall the players on the Dream team were better than the 2008 team.

[frankb03]

i would take Kobe and Lebron over Jordan

You guys are also FORGETTING that Jordan won Gold in 84' when he was still at UNC. I'm not saying Kobe sucks, because Kobe does not suck, nor does Lebron suck, I am saying that neither is , was or ever will be in Jordan's Level. When Kobe won 3 titles, who was the main reason???? Shaq, thats who. 3 titles and 3 Finals MVPS for Shaq, not Kobe. As for Lebron, he was not 21, he was 22 and in his 4th season when they made the NBA Finals and got swept.

Funny how you left the word Pippen out of my quote there franky. Probably cuz you know Kobe and Lebron would school him. Keep quoting just the words that "Work" for you buddy and leave out the rest!

21, 22 whatever...we're talking olympic hoops and you said bron is a terrible outside shooter...I'm saying he shot 13-28 from 3 in Beijing and Jordan shot 4-19 from 3 in '92...I don't see the evidence that bron is a terrible outside shooter.

You must be kidding right? Lebron shooting from the outside?? Please. It was against a 17 year old Spaniard??? Lebron has nowhere near the range Jordan had. Lebron is bigger but way more unrefined. Jordan's team won by average of 32 and lebrons won by 11?? Stop it.

[BrezzeEaze]

I will take the Dream Team every time.
This talk that Paul is better than Stockton is garbage.
Stockton's career stands on it's own merits, while Paul's has just begun.

[GOLDENGREEK]

1) I didnt post that 3 times computer glich


2) This shouldnt even be argued - Dream Team hands down !!

They were up 4 points on Spain with 2 1/2 minutes. Spain was without their starting point guard. They almost lost. If you had a time machine have the "old" 30 yr old + dream team play the 2008 version of the "new and improved" rest of the world and the Dream Teams whiops their ass by 20 + ..not barely squek by with a win.

It's not hard to argue that Jordan has had a better career than Lebron. That's all your doing...But you said he CANT shoot from outside and he clearly CAN. I just provided you a stat to show you his results, now you're saying his opponent wasn't enough, come on.. Nobody is saying Lebron is better than Jordan, how could I, his career just started. But damn, stop living in the past and realize that Lebron is the best in the game right now and only getting better.
