Duncan?

The current squad has the advantage of more time playing together, though.

Your point is interesting, though, in light of Jordan's comments after James and Bosh went to Miami.

Ouch. Looks like Griffen is hurt. Should've kept Randolph or Cousins.

So no players will ever be as good as that group despite improving equipment, nutrition, etc leading to better overall athleticism?

They had some pretty good help too, especially the second time around with Rodman.

Athleticism had nothing to do with it? Ok.

Obviously you need to see the documentary about the Dream Team and how that all went down. Then check out what happened the next day.

they aren't pippen and jordan. they may be "great" defenders today, compared MJ and Scottie? not great.

what is this athleticism stuff? we're talking about jordan, pippen, malone, barkley, robinson, drexler here. these guys lack in athleticism compared to who?

And Kukoc.

Well Im sorry, I dont buy the better nutrition, better gym being as a guage to players being better than players from the past. You gonna tell me because Roy Hibbert or Dwight Howard have a better access to fitness that they would own guys like Hakeem and or David Robinson?

that's great except the dream team could just decide not to play bird or stockton. although you underestimate stockton. they could just as easily have pippen or jordan handle all ball handling responsibilities.

4-0 with the average margin being 15+. it's just not even close.

they showed clips of it on the documentary, the one in monte carlo anyway which was supposed to be one of the most heated.

Magic must have gotten hurt as well, played 6 of the 8 games. Barkley must've been left alone inside a lot, he shot 71%(Although he was 7 out of 8 from three point land). That's just obscene. Mullin shot an equally obscene 61%.

they have 2.

Isaiah Thomas wasn't on the Dream Team. It is what it is.

You must also be willing to believe in Santa Claus..

The PG's on this current team would absolutely destroy the then 30 and 32 year old Stockton and Magic.

The C's and PF's of 92 would destroy this years team.

It's not as ridiculous a statement as it is being made out to be. But I'd still pick the Dream Team in a 7-game series to win 4-2.

No, because they haven't the skill to go with the gifts. Although Howard would probably give Hakeem problems as far as establishing position.
Think more of guys like Kevin Garnett in his prime versus Malone or Barkley. Or Howard versus Moses Malone.

I will have to check that documentary out.
