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

I have no what is going on in this thread in the last 25 pages or so, but this is kind of crazy to be still be going on.
From what I gathered:
PrimeTimeMoney needs a shovel taller than DeAndre Jordan to dig himself out of the hole he made.
People are using prime players for the current all-NBA team and that is not the case for the Dream Team.
OP included fricking Giannis in his all-NBA team.
People have used Marc Gasol for the current team while the Dream Team is American. Can 1992 get Hakeem then?
Magic Johnson was argued against as a weakness and way past his prime despite dominating the NBA just a couple months ago.
People are forgetting about Isiah Thomas because Jordan did not want him on the team.
The scrimmage against the college players that Chuck Daly intentionally tried to tank is used against the Dream Team. Does no one remember the rematch the next day where the college guys put up 0?
There is a semi-popular concept that modern athletes are so much better. They are maybe marginally better. There is just no way everything can change in like 20 years. It is biologically impossible.
Most importantly to me, people have accepted the false statement that high schoolers are faster than Carl Lewis. No high school or collegiate athlete has ever run 9.86 in the 100. In fact, that was not even his best event.

People with common sense should realize the talent gap between 1950 and 1970 is greater than the gap between 1970 and 1990, which is greater than the gap between 1990 and 2010.
People, mostly those who can only remember back to like 2008, seem to equate 1990s NBA with 1950s NBA, which is just laughable. The NBA had tons of athletes, even those who solely thrived on athleticism over skill.
Marcus Camby was DeAndre Jordan before DeAndre Jordan, and he actually helped lead his team to the Finals (where they lost to Duncan, who, 16 years later, is still a top big in the league).
On top of all that, you still have players from the '90s era who have been top players in the last few years in the aforementioned Duncan as well as Kobe.
