Better USA Olympic B-Ball Squad - 1996 or 2008

[King Biko]

96 had shaq akeem and the admiral so they would probably win if they played

 

[Larry Lambo]

After adding the NBA stats for both teams that year it becomes more clear.

Only way '08 wins if Kobe/Lebron just take over. But they'd still have no answer down low.

Would be a fun game to watch with the different strengths and weaknesses.

1992 dream team is only consensus anything because of 1992 competition. 96 and 08 is a toss up and 2012 beats all of them

Your jordan hate knows no bounds fukk nikka

96 team would of bodied 08 in the post. Dwight would be fouling nikkas left and right. Only advantage 08 would of had for their frontcourt would be Barkley/LeBron. 96 had hella old heads though. Grant Hill was their youngest player @ 23. 08 had the better talent, but they weren't as cohesion and they weren't even a lock to win gold. I'll go with the redeem team though, They had the youth, the versatility, coach K is a better coach than Lenny Wilkins, and the list goes on.

 

[Mandizi]

'08 only had one true center, at 6-10, outsized and overmatched by Shaq, Dream, Robinson.

Off that alone the '96 squad wins.
