FIFA is for Football

KKlinick

Answer 2

I'll vote for the redeem team.......

Basketball is improving........

Answer 3

I'll go with today's dream team!

Answer 4

if 92 players play the redeem team now, 92 will be beaten coz' they're already old now & they got no practice like they used to, MJ will be slower, LeBron will be stronger.

But, if the redeem team was formed during year 1992 & that they play against each other in that year 1992. The prime MJ team will beat Kobe prime by 50 points.

This comparison will suit the situation. You may not compare different era of players coz' of the time gap is so great. There will be a next generation of group team 10 yrs from now.

Answer 5

As long as the Dream Team keeps the ball OUT of Michael Jordan's hands, they would win easily. ( Jordan led the team with the LOWEST FG% and 3PT% of anyone on the team). LMAO!!!

MICHAEL JORDAN SUCKS!

Answer 6

Original Dream Team  

Answer 7

facing each other? probably redeem team cause they have more young talent.

Answer 8

The initial dream team hands down. Remember this current team (redeem) does not have many big guys. Bird and Magic may have been at the back end of their prime however Hakeem, Robinson, and Ewing were just coming into theirs ( Robinson scored 72 points in a game that season I think). The redeem team's shooting is suspect aside from redd and with these three centers you can gaurantee that the lane would be closed.

Howard the only center is prone to foul trouble and bosh would never handle the physical game of the Ewing, the dream or the admiral.

Then lastly their is Michael Jordan. Which brings the question to mind Kobe v Jordan. In his prime kobe can not hold a candle to MJ.

If it came down to game plan john stockton was a master and he can shoot unlike Kidd. deron Williams might make a splash but paul would struggle as they would turn him into a jump shooter. plus with Stockton at the helm Wade might strugle to get as much steals as he currently does.

Did I mention Karl Malone and the round mound of rebound (Barkely).

Some people might say Lebron might change things but I beg to differ.

One thing we did not cover was under which rules they might play. FIFA or NBA. Under FIFA rules the dream team will blow the Redeem team away but under nba rules it might be closer as lebron and kobe would have a wider lane to operate.

Obviously this is open to debate as this is just my personal take.

Answer 9

They didn't really have to be in their prime because they used the high basketball IQ that they have accumulated from all those years they won championships. They also utilized their weapons so well. Youth and athleticism doesn't always win.

Bird just stood back and popped 3's all day. Magic ran the floor effortlessly. He used his height and quick, precise outlet passes. Kidd is probably the closest but Magic is a better scorer and post up guard. He can play all five positions for goodness sakes. MJ would kill Kobe with quickness alone and you know what happens when he gets away. Pat Ewing owns Dwight Howard in shooting and The Admiral is a better scorer, shooter, defender than Chris Bosh.

Dream Team's bench has the slight edge because of Barkley. I see him ramming his way past five guys and getting and1's all day and he shot like 80 % from the 3 point line I think. Chris Mullin might be slightly better than Michael Redd shooting-wise but Redd is more athletic. But then Drexler negates any of Redd’s strengths. Stockon and Mailman would run pick and roll/pop and the 08 team wouldn't be able to stop that being that's their weakness (even though they're getting better)

Defensively, Pip would shut down any player on the 08 team alone, but if you need extra help, MJ isn’t too bad =)

The 08 team could be the best team since the Dream Team but in an imagined game it will be close at first but Dream Team will eventually run away with it.

Dream Team didn’t need time to play with each other. They were thrown into it, but since they were so multi-talented and they all knew what it takes to win, the chemistry was flawless.
