The only one missing is Scottie

I was just at the barbershop yesterday debating Dream Team vs Redeem Team with these 20 something's, of course they think Redeem Team has a shot, they have no clue!

That was the ONLY Dream Team!

As for 1992 vs. 2012? Shit, we know the answer to that.

No we don't.

Yup, I suggested to those youngins they go to youtube and check some of those Dream Team games out, they have a few on there.

I'm still waiting for the NBA to put all those games in DVD box set, including the tournament of champions games in Portland before they went over to Barcelona.

Magic & Larry may have been at the end of their careers, but the rest weren't. Plus '92 had more size up front.

Looks like NBA 2K13 is a must-buy.

Magic was still ballin' too, can you imagine Chris Paul trying to check him, LOL!!! The only position that Redeem has a fighting chance at is SF with Durant, Lebron, and Carmelo, but that's only on offense. On D they go through hell, especially Carmelo.

At PF/C it's a big time mismatch like you said, when I ask those young bucks who besides Kevin Love is gonna rebound they had no answers.

This will be the first game I've bought in years no doubt Uptown

NBA 2K13 & Grand Theft Auto V are the games I'm salivating over!

I'm not mad about sport videogames, they get old QUICKLY...

and GTA V? it will probably be as disappointing/overrated as GTA IV, RockStar has lost the edge, they are cynical money-obsessed whores now...

The Ballad of Gay Tony brought back the wacky element that was in the PS2 GTAs and missing in GTA IV & The Lost & Damned. I'm a GTA-maniac so I'll play GTA V regardless.

...and if anyone wants to challenge me at Mortal Kombat IX or Unreal Tournament III, I'll take on all comers!

It is not a fact the original Dream Team could destroy the latest one. I always felt the original team was the best too. I saw every game they played in that Olympics. But then I started to think....they had no real competition either [did you guys forget that the college select team they practiced against actually beat them during practice?]. There are far more teams today of all countries that have players in the NBA, so the competition is much advanced when compared to that era. Besides....I still have beef with the fact that Isaiah Thomas wasn't on that team....add him to the roster [take Chris Mullin & Christian Laettner off of that team....they don't deserve to be there @ all], then I might feel just like you guys...

Break down why you think the game would be close, me and plenty of Basketball experts don't see it, school us!

MJ and Isaiah didn't get along, that sealed his fate

There's nothing to breakdown.....it's just not a fact. I often laugh @ comparisons like this, because there can never be true competitive debates over it. Unless they all could actually play for real, we'll never truly know....that's my whole point.

....& that is total bullshit. MJ lost my respect a little after hearing that....

Yeah there is if you feel they could compete obviously you have reasons to believe this, I've told you two reasons already why I feel it's no contest. I guess your not a sports debater, my bad, lol!!

I'm sorry. I don't care to even debate senseless stuff like this too much . I'm just saying I disagree...

You must not hang around too many serious sports fans, that's what we do, lol

I do hang with a few every now & then, but I've realized that everything is pretty much rigged & controlled. So, while I used to be very passionate about debating on sports, I no longer have the heart to argue any of it anymore .

If this was a few years ago, I'd battle all who challenged ....

Tittypants is right about one thing - Isiah should have been there. I hate Isiah the executive, but I always respected his game - one of the all-time greats. With so much bad blood from the Bad Boy Pistons days, Isiah didn't have a chance to get on that team.

Nash - Durant - Bryant - L.James - Howard (+ C.Paul, D.Wade, C.Anthony, R.Allen, K.Garnett, B.Griffin, Bynum)

now that would have been a 2012 Dream Team

No we don't.

I know

If they played 5 times, the Dream Team wins 4. The only advantage Team USA has is at SF with Lebron & Durant.

Fixed it!

Scottie Pippen not here, I think it's do to his beef with Barkley.

Notice Chuck is here after not being in a NBA videogame since 1999.
