Kobe Bryant, what are you drinking?
What are you smoking?
Lastly, what on earth fell on your head?
You honestly believe you can beat the 1992 Dream Team, the greatest basketball team ever assembled? You honestly believe that you can beat the team that has a line-up full of Hall of Famers (11 of the 12 players are in the Hall)? Kobe Bryant, do you honestly think that you could take on a team that had Jordan, Pippen, Stockton, Robinson, Ewing, Malone, Barkley, and Mullin at their performing peak?
Give me a break. Seriously.
This current Dream Team squad consists of a slew of the best players in the NBA getting together to try to win Gold. The 92 squad consisted of among the best players in HISTORY getting together to win gold. Not even all the best players in the NBA are in the current squad---where’s Dwight Howard and Dwayne Wade? The only flaw in the 92 team was Christian Laettner, and even then he wasn’t that bad a player.
Are you serious to tell me that Chandler has a shot against Ewing and Robinson? Are you serious to tell me that Durant and Carmelo have a shot against Larry Bird and Scottie Pippen? Kevin Love and Blake Griffin would have had to take on Charles Barkley and Karl Malone. And lastly, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, and James Harden would have to take on Michael Jordan, the greatest player ever and John Stockton, one of the best defender/passer combinations ever to play the game. Nowadays the NBA is a heavy pick-and-roll team-----Stockton and Malone created arguably the most successful pick-and-roll combination in NBA history. The only men that could possibly successfully take on the backcourt is LeBron James and Kevin Durant—even though Durant doesn’t always give his 100% (See NBA Finals).
I don’t have stats to back this up, but I don’t need stats to back me up. It is common sense. Jordan, Magic, and Bird in one team with several other Hall of Famers in the background---this current NBA would be extremely delusional if they think they can take on the original Dream Team. It is fine to have some confidence in your squad, but this is arrogance to the nth degree if you believe that you have even a remote shot against the team that forever changed the game of basketball.
Kobe Bryant, lay off the sauce, lay of whatever it is that is making your head spin. Because stupid statements like the one you just made do nothing more than drop the I.Q. level of everyone that listened.
Don’t make me laugh Kobe, your team has a great shot at gold----but no shot towards the 92 legendary team.
