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

First off, they lost by 33. So, it's not like the Dream Team barely eked out a win. But there is a tendency to underrate international teams from that era. Those guys had no real avenue to make it to the NBA.
Petrovic didn't start in the NBA until he was 27. He average over 20 PPG, when finally given a shot. Kukoc went 15.5/5.5 in his first full season in Chicago. Dino Rada went 15.1 PPG and 7.2 RPG in his one full post-Olympics season in the NBA. These guys were good enough to play in the NBA, they just weren't able to until late in their careers. They weren't an All-Star team by any means, but the best players on the Croatian team was good enough to play in the NBA, when given a shot.
