The 1992 United States Basketball Olympic "Dream Team"

The main reason the 2012 team wouldn't beat 1992 is all in the middle.

You can argue that 2012's point guards could take 92 since Magic was on his retirement tour and they stupidly left off Isaiah for political reasons.

You could even argue that Kobe could slow down Jordan enough so that Durant and Lebron could more then make up for it with their SF dominance, and that one of them could even up the PF game by playing some minutes in the PF. (Lebron of course.)


Centers though? Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love... vs David Robinson and Patrick Ewing.

It's arguably the biggest mismatch between the two teams.

a bigger mismatch would be PF, where barkley and malone would just maul everyone else in the post. lebron and durant are tall enough, but they don't have the strength to match up in post defense, especially against barkley's backdown.

anyway, jordan makes up for everything else. kobe isn't in the same league (well no one is anyway).
