Kobe had to start or else he has no real purpose whets he gonna do off the bench ? I

Kobe been this whole Olympics
Nygga shot 3 air balls n put up several bricks

 

[aixenv]

92 dream team can beat this team?

this nigerian team > any team those old bitter losers played

92 team woulda won against Lithuania by 35+...i think everyone should sit and wait until this tourney is over and then evaluate where this team ranks

Ehh Kobe has been playing if not bad he hasnt been very effective he can pick up now that competition is about to step up

 

[Illin Degenerate]

there are more good teams now, but i wouldnt say any of the foreign teams now are necessarily better than 92 croatia or lithuania.

 

[jwinfield]

fukk your memories, fukk your nostalgia, fukk the 92 dream team. This is 2012, where b-ball players actually play well outside the U.S.

The Lithuanian team the Dream Team beat by 51 that had a young Arvydas Sabonis and Sarunas Marciulonis on it.

The Croatian team the Dream Team beat by 32 that had Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja and Drazen on it.

If Linas Kleiza and Darius Songalia can do work on this team, Sabonis....

 

[Luke Cage]

put one 92 dream team player on the lithuanian team and we woulda lost that game.

 

[MustafaSTL]

put one 92 dream team player on the lithuanian team and we woulda lost that game.

That's the if/then statement to make? If Jordan played for Spain in 2008 the USA loses that gold medal game. If the Lakers had 2000 Shaq on the squad against the Celtics in 2008 they would have won the Finals.







The fukk?

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

put one 92 dream team player on the lithuanian team and we woulda lost that game.

 

[T-K-G]

put one 92 dream team player on the lithuanian team and we woulda lost that game.

put dwight, d. rose, or any other player that got hurt/couldn't come on the us team and lithuania woulda lost by 20




see how that sounds

 

[23Barrettcity]

Look it's impossible to know who would win . Honestly if we played them straight up injuries and everything 2012 would win if guys like durant and melo hitting those crazy threes . I mean some of those dream team guys would be looking kobeish vs the modern day athleticism . Who can guard lebron melo kd?? They would be zone busting they can't play the admiral and Ewing together .
