Yeah I don't understand the criticism, the dream team did not play the international teams that today's team has to play, it's really incomparable. I still think the original dream team is the better team but I also agree that this current team could take a game from them, they did lose to college kids after all.

Yeah, the 92 dream team is better. I'd actually have more respect for Lebron if he just said that.
the 92 team was in their prime, Except Bird and Magic but hey an old Bird and Magic is still pretty good. The team included Ewing and Robinson, two guys better then any center today, Barkley and Malone, number 2 and 3 best power forwards ever. Stockton, Mullin, Scottie Pippen, Clyde Drexler....not to mention Jordan, I hear he's pretty decent...
Yeah it wouldn't even be a game

Ewing and robinson vs currents one average center give origunal big edge. If howard and bynum were in there then it would be a discussion.

I was just about to mention this...Daly wanted the Dream Teamers to get motivated and it worked after they destroyed anyone they played against after that.
LMAO @ anyone who thinks this Olympic team can beat the all-mighty 1992 Dream Team.
I smelled bulls__t during the doc and I smell it now. Can someone explain how exactly he rigged the game, did he go and bust everyone in the kneecaps before the game? His big rigging was to sit Jordan? Are you telling me that the other 10 future hall of famers couldn't beat a bunch of college kids without Jordan? I don't buy it and any team can be beaten on any day, that's why they play the games. I still think the dream team is the better team but they can be beaten by a team that can actually play and are well coached.

I think a big part of it was the Dream Team was cocky and needed a wake up call, Daly didn't do much to help them, but they still should of won. Also, you look up those college "kids", they weren't half bad players.

but that's my point isn't it? there was no real fix because there really couldn't be (unless Laettner was the only one on the floor during the game; then yeah it was rigged) and they could be beat by decent players on any given day; let remember the teams that they actually played. Nothing by today's standard.
Again not belitting the Dream Team but it's unrealistic to think that they could never be beaten by another good team full of NBA stars and a really good coaching staff.

No, I agree with you, sorta, I say the Dream Team straight up lost to those college kids, but there is no one on the planet that's gonna convince me that this current team is better then the dream team, could this group possibly win? Yeah, of course, but if they played 100 games I'd say the dream wins 90

Been pretty quiet since the Olympics, but here's the latest from Yahoo Sports. Take it with a grain of salt:
The Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers are engaged with the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers in a four-way blockbuster that could ultimately deliver superstar center Dwight Howard to the Lakers, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
A deal is not considered imminent, but the talks have grown serious over the course of this week, sources said.
There are other players involved in these fluid talks, but a framework of the possible deal includes Howard and Denver forward Al Harrington going to the Lakers, Philadelphia guard Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Los Angeles center Andrew Bynum moving to the 76ers, and Los Angeles forward Pau Gasol and Denver guard Arron Afflalo going to the Magic, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Magic would have a better chance of moving Gasol in another deal to get further assets, sources said, and eliminate the risk of Bynum leaving them as a free agent in 2013.
The proposed deal includes the Magic also gaining draft picks and salary-cap relief, sources said.
Orlando, Los Angeles and Philadelphia had discussed a three-way deal, but needed a fourth team to take Iguodala and also provide Orlando with the neccessary future draft picks, sources said. Denver joined the talks in the past week, sources said.
Philadelphia traded its 2013 pick to the Miami Heat, and the Lakers sent two future picks to the Phoenix Suns in the Steve Nash sign-and-trade deal. For Denver, the question could become, how many draft picks are they willing to send to Orlando for Iguodala?

Yeah not liking getting rid of Gasol and getting Harrington. People think Gasol is soft on defense wait till they see Harrington.
