Apparently Kobe pretty much said the same thing... but he was a little smarter about it. He said that they could win at least one game if they played against the original Dream Team. Still, this is what Jordan said about Kobe.
Clyde Drexler Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen Charles Barkley Larry Bird Patrick Ewing John Stockton Karl Malone Christian Laettner David Robinson Magic Johnson James Worthy I did not have to look it up. I remember. Don't ask me whose on even the current team as I probably could not name all of them.
Anfernee Hardaway Grant Hill Allan Houston Bobby Hurley Jamal Mashburn Eric Montross Rodney Rogers Chis Webber
Not a bad team at all when all those guys were healthy. Penny Houston Hill Mashburn Webber would give the current Olympic team a run for their money I think. Penny, Hill, and Webber were all amazing when they were healthy.
When has there ever been that many HOFers on one team? I mean, outside of Laetner, was there a single guy on that team that isn't already in the HOF or soon to be in the HOF?
I don't blame LeBron or Kobe for saying that... almost everyone who makes it to the NBA has to have some odd sense of reality in order just to be there. They have to think that they're the best and they have to be competitive. By the time you get to elite players, those attributes must be off the charts. If it results in distorted thoughts about how they'd do against the best basketball team of all time, it's only to be expected. Ed O.
I think it is interesting to look at it a slightly different way... How many of the current team's players would even make the 1992 team? In my opinion, it looks like this: Definitely: Kobe Lebron Likely: Durant Possibly: Chris Paul Not Likely: Deron No Chance: Westbrook Love Iguodala Harden Davis Chandler Carmelo
