re: A current all-NBA team would wreck the dream team

if i were constructing a team to face the dream team and i could pick gasol or ewing's clone, i pick gasol

again, in order for ewing to get the stats that people are obsessing over, who gives up shots? if he's not getting the same rate of usage, then why are you all so enamored with him as the 5 of the dream team?

i don't have to worry about that with gasol. he doesn't need to take 20 shots/game to establish his worth

gasol is the superior defender (reigning DPOY) and facilitator. he fits the modern scheme better than ewing does.
