Is there any team on earth more dominant than the U.S. Men's National Basketball team?

Yes, the U.S. Women's National Basketball Team. lol

Was going to say this, the point spread is even greater.

I wasn't old enough to watch the Dream Team play but many people overrate the team, they were playing very very weak competition. The International basketball scene is much tougher now than it was in 1992. It was probably the equivalent of playing a weak college team for the dream team. Now you have international teams that have multiple NBA calibur players.

I think the Dream Team would beat the current team but for some reason I am thinking the current team would obliterate the 1992 interational teams even more.

The bolded pretty much explains the rest of your post.

Trust me when I tell you that the players from the 1992 team were much, much better on a whole than the current team.  Besides for Kevin Durant and Lebron James, I don't see anyone on the current team giving the 1992 team matchup problems.  I know that I'm not mentioning Kobe Bryant, but that's because he would be up against some guy named Michael Jordan...
