And I did that because 92 Dream Team was the best of the NBA at the time. Foreign players were shite, and sans Isaiah, it pretty much was an all NBA of 1992 team.



how does this change anything? because there are foreign players, the American players are shite now? Huh?


1992 was still all american players. and would have been even if there were a lot of foreign players in the NBA.

You can just admit that the talent isnt the same and be done with it. I mean this dude talked up Deandre Jordan for 4 pages because he is a good dunker.

To be fair, he was saying Deandre Jordan would be a suitable center to help counter the offensive games of the 1992 post players. I don't think the 2015 team wants any offense run through DJ, and they wouldn't really need it.

It is the same concept as you adding lesser wing players to the 1992 team to help with spacing. You start adding those players to fit today's game and all of a sudden the 1992 squad doesn't seem so formidable.

Believe it or not- basketball has evolved since 1992. Foreign basketball wasn't popular in 1992 (and incidentally became popular because of the dream team)

I took the 1992 Dream Team because it was the best of the NBA/World at the time. Feel free to add any foreign players to the team. Like Kukoc, who was basically Lebron or KD or Westbrook.

The 2015 team is the best of the NBA/World.

It's a comparison between the talent of what many consider the golden era to what I think is definitely another golden era of talent.

Do you get that now?
