Dream team vs. 2012 USA mens basketball team
The argument on who would win if the 1992 "Dream Team" and the current USA mens basketball team played is something I find very interesting. My first reaction was could the '92 team keep up with this years team athletically? I will give it to this years team they are very young, talented and athletic but that doesn't always win games. The 1992 dream team was full of established "winners" Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan all dominated their time period and won several championships each. Michael Jordan was 29 years old and in his prime, this makes it very hard to not pick the 92 team. Other reasons include their dominant big men in Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley to name a few. This years team has no dominant big men and to try and put Tyson Chandler in the same sentence as the three previous athletes is a joke. I believe that because of their winning pedigree and the depth of the talent on the '92 Dream Team they would beat this years younger more athletic USA team.
