The international talent is far better than it was in 1992 so if this team goes undeated by a huge margin...?

Question

would you consider them better than the 1992 dream team. You must remember looking at the 1992 team you are looking back at players who are done and we all know what they acomblished but when LJ, Kobe, Paul, Howard's careers are finished how do you know they wont go down as better player than MJ, Barkley,Magic or Bird? No one ever thought MJ would be the best when he was 6 years in the league and had no rings. They werent saying he was better than Russell, Wilt, Magic, Dr. J. He was called a Dr. J rip off, the bald Dr. J.

I think in 20 years that top 50 ever list will include atleast 5 player from this team USA and who knows where they will fall

Answer 1

This team will never compare to the 1992 team.  The 1992 team had unprecedented talent and level of professionalism.  I don't remember the team that the 1992 team played, there was a player that fouled Jordan...that player began to cry, was asked what was wrong and the player said in tears "I just touched Michael Jordan".

The talent and respect will never match that team!  Most of the 2008 team has spent 3 years learning and perfecting the FIBA game...the 1992 didn't even get a year.

Answer 2

if you were alive in 1992, you wouldn't be asking this

Answer 3

Why was this even a question?  Who care if the '92 team was better or worse.  You can't measure greatness just by points won.  That team back then probably gave 50% of their effort.  How would you know and you can't make these kind of assumption.
