How about this... the 1996 Olympic team with Shaq, David Robinson, Hakeem, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Pippen, Reggie Miller, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, etc. only beat Brazil 98 to 75. 23 points. Here is Brazil's roster:

Ratto
Tonico
Josuel
Caio
Olivia
Caio da Silveira
Ferraciu
Pipoka
Janjao
Oscar Schmidt
Rogerio
Wilson Minucci

Brazil gave up 94.6 ppg that tournament, and Dream Team II only mustered 98.



If they only beat those nobodies by 23 in the quarter finals and only scored 98 points, I have no doubt LeBron, Durant, Harden, Curry, AD, etc. would have a field day.

You are cherry picking games. So does that mean that I could hypothetically cherry pick a supposed game where your group only wins by 23 to a team?

I believe it was the first game of the knockout stage, a quarter.

One thing that would make it bit interesting is the 3 point line. The amount of 3's our recent US teams have taken per game dwarf the amount they took back then.

how does this logic even make sense in someone's head?


btw oscar schmidt was awesome. He's in every basketball HOF that matters. He averaged 28PPG over 5 different summer olympics.
