Which Dream Team is better, 1992 or 2012? (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=281234)

The hand checking rules now give the players a lot more separation.

Back in 92' it was a full-contact sport.

I love the current guys, but the 92 team would kill them (possibly literally).

I don't think that matters. The big key is everyone on the 92 team tried to play defense. The 2012 team is loaded with guys who flat out do not care about playing defense. Throw in a Rodman, and you might just have a lebron stopper.

Mullin did NOT play defense.

I would go as far to say that the next best 12 from 92' would give the 2012 team a hell of a run.

Hakeem Olajuwon
Gary Payton
Isiah Thomas
Reggie Lewis
Mark Price
Tim Hardaway
Dennis Rodman

There are others to add to this list.

Yet he'd beone of the better defenders on the '12 team. What's that say?

It wouldn't have been that difficult for Daley to hide Mullin and Bird on defense. The other guys would've made it easy.

'92 had better 3 point shooters too.

In a best of seven 4-0 92.

I think Jordan would shut Durant down defensively...

Hahahaha is this even a ****ing question? :facepalm:

No, he wouldn't. Once again, the 92 team would slaughter the 12 team, but Mully would NOT be one of the better defenders. He might be better than a few, but he wouldn't be in the top half.

92 would physically wear out the 12 team..down low would be a joke..the 12 team wouldn't have anyone left in the game because if they didn't foul out they would be exhausted..92 would win by an average of 20 points a game easily and win 9 out of 10 times

1992 vs 2012 would be like Seattle against Denver

I mean, you just gotta consider what the Dream Team can do that the 2012 team can't.

The 2012 team can't match the in-paint power of the DT. Robinson and Ewing will absolutely kill Howard and not-yet-pro Anthony Davis in the paint, and that's before you even include Malone or Barkley, who were ferocious in the paint. Pippen will have lockdown duties on LeBron. And the 2012 team will have absolutely zero answer for Magic Johnson (who was still extremely dangerous with the ball) and Michael ****ing Jordan at the peak of his power.

I mean, Christ. Just the competitive juices of the 1992 team alone. They were out for goddamn blood. The 2012 team was much more jovial -- really the only player on the whole team that could match the intensity of the DT's starting five would be Kobe. But you've got Jordan locking down Kobe.

What's the 2012 team going to do? Run on the Dream Team? The entire Dream Team with the obvious exception of Larry Bird could run, and they had Magic ****ing Johnson as their starting 1. No team in basketball history could run as well as the DT.

The 2012 team would only have one thing the DT would struggle with: Chris Paul. The DT has no real matchup for Paul when he has the ball. But Stockton was an underrated defender, and it's not like Paul can shoot over Magic, who was 6'9".

Kevin Durant in 2012 was really good, but he's not the All World player he is now.

Barkley rightly said that only three players from the 2012 team would even make the DT.

The DT could outrun, outshoot, outphysical, and outhustle the 2012. In every regard a team could be great, the DT is better.
