Nah...2012 had no bigs (AD barely played). Besides,most of the guys on the team were 22-24 years old and didn't reach their peak yet. They were good enough for gold but not all time great imo. Bron, Melo, and KD had to carry that squad.
Love was better than Dwight in the Olympic setting and Kobe hadnt fallen off yet. Bosh was probably the best big of either team though

I wouldnt discount how they(Love, Kobe) played on that 2012 team, especially if youre mentioning Kobe on the 2008 team

Bron was better in 2012, and KD in 2012 might have been the best player on either the 2008/2012 teams. He was absolutely crushing shyt

Melo was much better on the 2012 team too

Fair analysis :ehh:

I still think 08 had more balance. Do you think either team would beat 92?

Wish the '08 Gold Medal game wasn't on in like 2 in the mourning. That game was a damn classic. NBC didn't even replay the game later.

Its crazy how young that team was especially compared to '92. Bron/Melo/Paul/Wade/Howard/DWill were between 22-26

all that athleticism with their playing style would have ran the 92 squad ragged. But that's another thread

Spain with the athletically challenged gasol bros and average NBA talent Rudy Fernandez and Juan Carlos Navarro took 08 squad to the brink:usure:

92 would've played straight bully ball with Ewing, D. Robinson, Barkley, Malone...even old Bird and Magic would've feasted in the post.

I didn't even get to prime Jordan and prime Pippen
