I'm sorry...
A LeBron led dream team right now with the right pieces around him could have beat that '92 dream team. At the very least, it would have been a fight to the death. Their only edge would have been Jordan's killer instinct. The only way they win a best of series was if THEN PRIMED Jordan just decided he wasn't going to lose no matter what. |

The 92 dream team was special and elite no doubt. But we tend to over romanticize players from the past because well.....it's the past. I'll bet there will be plenty of Hall of Fame players from the 2012 dream team as well.

If you look at the lineups it isn't romanticizing at all. This was the way back when I knew all the players stats up and down. That's how much impact that the players of yesteryear had on the game. Now, it's eroding new defensive rules like zone being allowed, and the lost art of making FTs that's where I notice it most when the basics are being ignored. Players aren't as mentally tough in comparison to the stated players.

That's your rebuttal nice, name as many all-stars today that could take on the stars of the past on top of your head without looking it up.

Let's not let emotion cloud true history. The Bulls got pushed to the brink a few times, and Jordan miss shots.
A lot of shots. I was a huge Bulls fan, too. I have been a Bulls fan since the Wooridge and Sellars days. Satellite TV was new to our house, and wild feed/unscrambled Chicago games were awesome. No announcers, just Basketball and close-up shots of hot bitches in the crowd during TO's. Most people have a hard time looking back and seeing how things really were. |

Why would you put Chalmers on Parker? Parker will have 15 points in the first. I'd really consider starting Norris. He's 100% better defensively and his offense isn't that much worse than Chalmers.

dude that's fine...and I don't disagree
you have to understand...when I was 8-13 years old...the NFL was an afterthought for me...I used to watch every Bulls game on WGN and I'd get pumped for the weekend and the NBA on NBC...I'd ****ing sit in my living room and watch the games all day and shoot socks into a ****ing laundry hamper and pretend I was Michael ****ing Jordan I'm just realistic. There were a billion black kids that would see MJ on TV from their shitty little projects and be like "holy ****" and now all of those kids have grown up (I'm 28) and the ones that wanted to emulate MJ and saw the NBA boom MJ caused have just turned into SUPER ****ING FREAKS... I'm not saying the players today are better basketball players...fundamentally, it isn't close. I'm saying they are most likely far better athletes. Again though...I think it's amazingly unfair to compare eras...and I don't like doing it. I appreciate the differences of both eras. |
