Question

2008 Team USA or 1992 Dream Team ? Who`s better?

Answer 1

dt

Answer 2

92

Answer 3

1992 dream team

Answer 4

The 92 team is gonna look better mainly because there wasn't any competition at the time, but a better TEAM would be the 08 team. Hardly does anyone ever score over 25 because they spread the points around. And if someone's having an off game, there's 7 other players capable of scoring.

Answer 5

1992 - Michael Jordan... I don't think you'll ever beat that

Answer 6

dream team, they were better and didnt try to do evrything idivususally. they worked as a team and wanted to win the gold.

Answer 7

Dream team has Chris Mulin.....

Answer 8

The 92 Dream Team has better all around talent and are better constructed to deal with the international game. First, we'll start with the bigs. Patrick Ewing and David Robinson could play both inside and out. They could post up and shoot the ball from midrange. Their defense was also phenomenal. The '08 USA Team's bigs are Dwight and Chris Bosh. Dwight is a great rebounder but is terrible at defending the pick and roll. He is also virtually useless when left to create his own offense. Bosh, while having plenty of skill, is relatively weak and is not that good of a one on one defender. He is however, suited to guarding the pick and roll due to his quickness. Backing up Bosh and Dwight is Boozer. The 92 Dream Team on the other hand had Karl Malone and Charles Barkley. No explanation is needed there.

Second. Everyone on the 92 Dream Team could shoot the ball. Everyone. They also had superior midrange games. This is extremely important against zones.

Third. The 92 Dream Team played as a team. They arguably have better passing and movement than the '08 squad.

Fourth. Defense. The 92 Dream Team has some of the greatest perimeter and inside defenders of all time. Jordan, Pippen, Drexler, Stockton, Ewing, Robinson were all great defenders. They had no problems dealing with the pick and roll. The '08 Team is not consistent and struggles with the pick and roll, as well as closing gaps when playing zone. Sometimes, they gamble too much on defense.

Fifth. Experience. The collective experience of the 92 Dream Team is staggering. Not just in the NBA, but also in college and internationally.  They also played in a more physical era, so dealing with the more physical international game (relative to today's NBA) won't be as much of a problem.

Anyone who says that the 08 Team will be the better "team" doesn't know what he or she is talking about. What made the 92 Dream Team so good wasn't so much the collection of individual talent (10 of the 12 players are part of the NBA's top 50 players of all time), but the TEAMWORK that it displayed. Passing, cutting, communicating on D, and all the little things were done to secure the win. The 92 Dream Team had just a few weeks to prepare, and yet they came together so easily and seamlessly as if they had been playing together all their lives. If the '92 Dream Team were to play against the '08 team, they would simply pack it inside and let the '08 team shoot jumpers. We've all seen how terrible the '08 team can be shooting the J. You can't however, play the '92 Dream Team one way. Why? Because they have shooters. They have post up players. They have slashers. They have passers. They cut and move without the ball. They are a complete team in every respect.

Answer 9

Dream Team no question. Only problem is the Redeem team doesn't have it's Chritian Laettner.

Answer 10

Easily 1992.  Jordan, Mullin, Magic, Bird.  How do the guys today match them?

Answer 11

im pretty sure the dream team had a better squad.

Answer 12

I think the 2008 team is better. I know I know im crazy right but just think about it... the 2008 team has a ton of good players like... LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwane Wade, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, and i know I'm just nameing the big shots but it is true, and they say that besides Michael Jordan LeBron and Kobe are the best, i know that last year we stunk but this year they are calling this team the Redeem team and that sounds just as good as the dream team if not even better because they are going to redeem the USA and they are going to make everyone remember the dream team but they will also tell people they are the best in the world. I mean look how much they beat China by and that other team they beat i mean seriously think about it.

I know I'm just a girl what do i know. Well i know a whole dang lot thats for sure

LOL

BTW: LeBron Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
