Remember when the 92 dream team got beaten by some college kids. Good times.

Ah yes .
A practice game means so much …

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992...%20be%20beaten.

But remember when MJ 1984 Olympic team crush 8 times stars of nba to prepare for the Olympics ?
Official televised games ?
Ah yes practice games is so much more important …

No idea what you try to imply with those takes u throw at me ….
Just say it shrug .
2024 is the best team ever assemble is that it ?

LOL 3. Bird

Thread still delivers

many here downgrade MJ because he dominated a 1990 "weak" era".
No idea why couldnt bird be elevated by playing in the deadly 80s....

personally i would have bird higher then magic but magic won more.
So to me its a tie 1a-1b.
where u rank magic ?

I don't know. Magic is in my top-5. After MJ and LeBron, the big centers and Magic are in a cluster for me. #5 seems right after Kareem and Wilt, maybe?

Last time I checked South Sudan was a warm up game.

We up in here talkin bout practice

u know im not the one that brought closed out practice where the coach deliberately trashed the game trying to show it meant anything.
i dont even understand what is this whole discussion purpose for what you are trying to say.

me its very clear and simple.
the dream team would of crush any team in these olympics and would beat the 2024 too without a doubt.
And no that 2024 isnt the second best ever, 2008-2012 certainly .
And if it takes a 39-40 years old guy to dominate the US team well it shows how poorly they play or how actually they arent that great.
1992 had all the best players in the world and like u said this year they dont even have the top 4 players in the world.
how can u claim that 2024 team is that great while other usa team had the best players in the world , even with some of the best players that play on this year team but in their prime in others ???

Kerr is a busy man... He doesn't have time to figure things out.. He isn't a philosopher.. Most people aren't... So Kerr does what most people do - he watches TV and is influenced by what he sees... And the media only covers Lebron, so he's been influenced by that and therefore allows the team to run "bron-ball" instead of the ball-movement and winning style of 'tatum-ball"..

This leaves Tatum out in the cold - he's obviously the biggest casualty of bron-ball, but not the only casualty - every star on this team has been inconsistent and a shell of their normal self - this is standard bron-ball that we've seen for 21 years... Accordingly, Kerr's decision to run this inferior brand of ball is why we've drastically underachieved our favored talent by barely beating teams that we outmatch at historic levels.

To illustrate the point, imagine that an alien came to earth from outer space and decided to follow the NBA... The alien would watch the media coverage and conclude that Lebron must've won the last 5 titles.. So he would be shocked to find out that Lebron has catastrophic loss for 7 or the last 8 years... This includes missing the play-in, or multiple 1st Round exits, or multiple lottery seasons, or multiple record losses, and also historic sweeps where he tricked off 4 straight fourth quarter leads.. The alien would be completely stunned and quickly realize that it's fraud.. Lebron is a fraud - that's conclusion that the alien would come to.

Peak single season: #3 Bird or #2 Kobe?

What's Kobe's peak season?

Bird's is probably 84', while Kobe's is more debateable... I guess it's 09' if we're requiring the player to win a title.. I hate going with one over the other - they both have cases and I could go either way.. Gun to my head - 84' Bird... It was just tougher back then on many levels and Kobe had a pretty good blueprint by 09'

I like how 5 of the best players in the world can't play well together because LeBron is on the bench. But last week, when they were playing well, it was also because of LeBron.

Question fallguy. You give LeBron **** for his teams cratering when he's on the bench. Your thoughts of that the same thing happening when Curry (who plays the "right" way) is on the bench during the Warriors heyday?

Kerr had an entire olympic training camp with this roster, 1 month, and you are telling me he was influenced by TV and media?



Tatum got a few minutes in the final game and was immediately yanked off the court. Can you explain why?

Aliens just came to earth and saw Bron win olympic gold.

I just hope we get to see a better career. I’ll hope someone better than LeBron emerges for the rest of my life.

Wemby is already here mate.

Tatum - 11 minutes. Minus 5.

LeBron + 17.
Non LeBron -6 in 7 minutes.

Wemby was the best player on the floor today. Incredible.

Fallguy please explain the following:

Hopefully he goes for a decade without injury

Aliens just witnessed Bron win Olympic MVP for basketball.


Please advice on what the aliens are thinking right now / conclusion reached.

Aliens came down here to see if what everybody were saying about Wemby is true.

He delivered, aliens will be back when somebody better than Wemby arrives

LeBron Olympics MVP

We have witnessed

lol at anyone thinking Wemby isn't one of the aliens.
