I_fold08 1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I've got 92 in every match up. being 22 I am confident in saying how big pussies this generation is.I might give Melo the nod but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Love would kick the crap out of Laettner; we already know he has a wild streak from when he stomped Scola's head.I also like Tyson Chandler to beat up Ewing. Ewing's not a tough guy. Ditto Westbrook against Drexler. Russell has some crazy in him and Clyde was a big puppy dog.My biggest upset would be Mullin over Deron. I'm sure a lot of the gen pop would just snap take the black guy with the panther tattoo in a fight against a white guy with a funny crew cut but Mullin was a bad-ass former alcoholic from a really rough part of New York. I bet he could definitely handle himself in a fight.The most even fight would be Pippen v. Iggy. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 is robinson v durant clearly the most lopsided? i mean i think i could take durant. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 You couldn't take Earl Boykins. I can't imagine David Robinson in a fight. It would be like seeing Gandhi take a swing at someone. Link to post Share on other sites
keith crime 8 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I can't see how anyone could take Malone over Lebron - maybe if you made Lebron just be a traditional power forward but he's not and wouldn't beI have no idea where you got the idea that Ewing was a pussy - he was an amazing shotblockerAnyone who thinks that Andre Iguodala is even half the ballplayer Pippen was is clearly on crack - and please don't post numbers because Pippen was perhaps as good a defender as their ever was and had to defer to Jordan everywhere else except for the first Jordan baseball series where he deserved to win the MVP that yearLaettner is a moot point he would never even enter a seriously competitive game at that point in his careerRobinson vs Durant is also moot it's like comparing apples and orangesBecause of age - Jordan prime vs Kobe -old - it isn't even closeBird and Magic were old too - it would be interesting if you compared both teams at their peak value as players so you get Kobe v Jordan at both their primes but then Magic and Bird go from good at the end of their runs to top ten of all time Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bird and Magic were old too - it would be interesting if you compared both teams at their peak value as players so you get Kobe v Jordan at both their primes but then Magic and Bird go from good at the end of their runs to top ten of all time Pretty much impossible since we don't actually know how good a lot of the 2012 players will be at their primes.

CaneBrain 95 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Keith,those are matchups of who would win in a fight. Not basketball related.Karl Malone would beat Lebron's ass in a fight. Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Paul would erase Stockton's map.No way. Stockton would pull out some sort of dirty move like sand in the eye and win the fight through trickery. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 All stockton's dirty tricks won't help him in a legit fist fight. Paul is super strong for his size, he's got a barrel chest. He would crush stockton I think Link to post Share on other sites

I bet he could definitely handle himself in a fight.The most even fight would be Pippen v. Iggy.WaTch that Duke doc on NBA tv. Made me look at Laettner differently. He was vicious. Also, this USA team would beat the 92 team, right? I loved Bird, et al, but athletes that can ball a little are tough to stop when you're slow and plodding Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If wade and Dwight are healthy, id take 2012 over 1992. Not without them though. Link to post Share on other sites

DJ Vu 176 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Prediction Machine gets into the 2012 vs 1992 debate. He has 1992 winning 60% of the time in a 7 game series.He agrees with Cane though, that the 2008 team is the best of all of them (although by the slimmest of margins, 51%/49%).Ranking Team USA Olympic Rosters (since 1992)1. 2008 "Redeem Team"2. 1992 "Dream Team"3. 2012 Team4. 1996 "Dream Team III"5. 2004 Team6. 2000 Team Link to post Share on other sites

DJ Vu 176 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Probably the 1994 team that played at the World Championships was called Dream Team II. Link to post Share on other sites
