92 Dream Team vs 2008 Redeem Team

[Shadow King]

This game depends on if the slashers on 08 can get the big in foul trouble. If not, 92 by 12-15 points.

This isn’t an argument . Prime bean locking up anybody he needs to . He’s got the accolades y’all can’t take that from him .

Using accolades that we know were based on reputation by that point of his career creates room for an argument though.

Kobe lost mad weight that summer so that he could play better defense. Kobe is picking up MJ full court every single time. Y’all dudes forget Kobe has the most all nba defense team selections for a guard EVER . Redeem team lead by Kobe to get the dub just like in the gold medal game in 08 .

Ok who gonna guard Barkley, David Robinson, Mailman and Drexler?

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Wade had a great season following that summer but I always looked at the olympics as his peak.

Bald Wade came back from that shoulder injury looking for revenge

Dream Team most likely wins....but they also played against trash competition pretty much.

The world was so far behind.

 

[AJtheOne]

Redeem Team would out run the Dream Team, they'd annihilate them in transition. Dream team would pummel them inside and in the half court.

It depends on who can control the pace honestly I'll pick the Redeem team cuz they my generation

 

[Gangstar8]

They would need both Jordan and pippen to defend Kobe every single time

Redeem Team

 

[MoneyTron]

If I could put '08 Kobe on the '12 team, I think they'd beat the Dream Team. Redeem Team? Ehh, a little iffy after the starting lineup.

I'll put Kobe, KD, and Bron against anyone.

My ranking:

1992
2012
2008

1996 was a great team as well but we're missing the shot creators the others had.

Am I the only guy who thinks the 2012 team might be better than the redeem team

 

[No Homo]

Am I the only guy who thinks the 2012 team might be better than the redeem team

12 is better imo too

My ranking:

1992
2012
2008

how im ranking it too

 

[MoneyTron]

Am I the only guy who thinks the 2012 team might be better than the redeem team

Nope. '12 was definitely the better team IMO.

The addition of KD puts them over the top for me.

 

[ISO]

The Redeem Team is taking that.

D-Wade, Kobe, LeBron in their primes

96 dream team had the best group of guys in their prime imo. Pretty sure that's the only team to have every player be an all star during that year


That frontcourt of Shaq, hakeem, Malone, Barkley and Robinson is probably the best group of big men on any team ever. Plus you had Hill and Pippen at the 3


96 team might be the best

I agree with you in that his accolades are well deserved, but nobody is locking up Jordan. Just not like nobody is locking up Kobe.

With that said, I give the edge to Jordan.

Kobe has shown more of a propensity to shoot his teams OUT of games, more than Jordan.

Better shot selection and a more steady mental approach goes to Jordan. I feel 92 Jordan's strength and athleticism also is better than any athletic version of Kobe (and 92 Jordan wasn't even his athletic peak, 87-90 was Jordan's athletic peak).

 

[Ben.]

If you switched Booz and Bosh for KG and Duncan, '08 would take it no doubt

imagine typing that with a straight face and actually thinking anybody is “locking up” Michael fukking Jordan in 1992
