92 team wouldn't even win a half.


Power forward is a big problem for the 92 team defensively because Barkley and Malone can't guard Durant and Antetokounmpo.


Or Davis. Or Dirk.

Which team are you betting on your 1 year salary?


Dream team. Too much size, more 2-way players, and the best player on the floor (MJ). Could play small with Bird at the 5 as well vs th 2010s team if needed.


Bird would not see the floor, he was in serious pain during the 92 Olympics and would not have been able to get out there against this level of competition. Just like Magic was not in nba playing shape after a year off and dealing with HIV.

2010-2011 Dirk should be on the team.

Bird was a 35 year old who could barely move at that point. He would get demolished within two minutes.

Another reason why the results of this poll are hysterical.

maybe in his era. by playing C he wouldnt need to mvoe much and would be playing against non-physical players. he'd probably dominate as an elite stretch 5 preventing any opposing players from protecting the rim.

Did you not read what was said to you? Bird was a 35 year old with major back problems and could barely move by 92. He's getting ran off the floor as soon as he steps on it against 10s all-stars.

What are you people even saying? :lol:

Cuba or not, their chemistry, passing and athleticism is apparent. And it surpasses that allstar team. Apparently I’m not alone in thinking that- it’s a pretty standard opinion outside of realgm (and even on it judging by the poll)

Good luck putting near-retired Bird on prime Anthony Davis

If it's played with the rules we have today, 2010s team probably wins. But, if they play on big boy rules from the 90s it's the dream team and it's not even a competition. Half of the new guys would be "injured", cramping and crying to their agents within the first quater. I would pay my 1 year salary to watch that **** happen.

You back and watch old videos of your 'big boy' basketball bro. No one cares.
