Honestly, i hate it when they go for the highlight reel play. I know it was a blowout, game was over but just do the simple play. Make the simple pass and get the easy basket. No reason to show up ur opponent.

true. but it was atleast nice to see them involving dwight.

This team is finally clicking on all cylindars tho. I would love to see a Dream Team vs. Redeem Team show down......two of the best teams ever asembled.



I would have to say that the Dream Team would be any assembled Basketball team. When you have a starting lineup consisting of

PG - Stockton
SG - Jordan
SF - Bird
PF - Barkley
C - Robinson

I think that you won't beat that lineup. Even though we have Kobe LeBron Dwight and Carmelo I don't think that is enough. Definitely not going to deny it would be a fun game to watch but it would be a blowout.

Bo Outlaw - What is that some kind of cheeseburger?

92 would definitely kill this team. I think 96 would beat them too.

Don't think so, 90's international ball was weak, it's this team's roster (and CHEMISTRY) that make other teams look like scrubs. But they're better than anything the original Dream Team or Dream Team II ever faced.

The '92 team had mad chemistry too tho, combined with the best starting 5 ever assembled. And the '96 team had a prime Shaq, Hakeem, & Drob...with Malone and Barley to boot? As good as this '08 team is, even the '92 would have a hard time stopping that combination of bigs. The '08 wings and guards are definitely better than the '96 team, but they had better be shooting a damn good % from 3 if they stood any chance of beating that team. I actually think that the '96 would give this current team more matchup problems than the '92 team would...Swap out Booz & Prince with KG & TD tho, and this team could definately beat either of those teams..

IMO, I would rank them as: (1)'92 Dream Team, (2)'96 Dream Team II, (3)'08 Redeem Team, (4)'00 Team USA, (5)'04 Team USA
