US Men's Basketball Team better than the 1992 Dream team?


No one would ever think that a USA basketball team could ever compare to the 1992 USA basketball team that carried Hall of Famers; Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley.  The current USA basketball team has been made and its roster is stacked with members that is talked to be even better than the 1992 USA basketball team.  A few of the big time members of this years 2012 Olympic Basketball team are Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.  Basketball Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson talk about the team’s strategy for when they arrive in London.  They want to be able to Control the pace of the game by avoiding turnovers, developing structured offense and shooting a respectable percentage.  The current team is not said to be unbeatable but they are going to be one of the toughest teams to beat.  Basketball fans say that if the 1992 team were to play the current US basketball team the basketball Hall of Fame team would be them on post play.  That’s one game our 2012 Olympic team could not win.  I am excited for this years summer Olympics taking place in London, England.  We will see if this years US Men's Basketball team is all its talked up to be.  Go USA!

  1. I have to disagree with you on this. Im not sure that the 1992 team would be able to keep up with the 2012 team. Bird had his back issues, Magic came back out of retirement and then with the athleticism that the 2012 team is insane. Most of these guys are in there prime. The 2012 team athleticism is by far way more superior then the 92 team but guys like Michael Jordan would be hard to stop no matter who was on the other team. This would definitely be a great game and one of the toughest match ups to ever be compared.
