Wow...That's some hate you have there brother...

 ;D


I drew my line , i was On shaq's side , i try my best never to be a homer to my teams , Raiders still stink, dodgers are always bums at the end of the season, and Lakers would have won 6 or 7 if kobe didnt play its smooth in the hotel room.


Shaq number gets retired first game next season, i bet Kobe will be upset seeming his number up there for the rest of his playing days at staples

 How can you not love Sir Charles. ;D

Anything can happen in a single game, but best of seven series would go to the '92 team.

Wait.  Lebron defended Durant who averaged over 30 points a game yet you think Jordan couldn't get 20 if Lebron guarded him?  HAHAHA.  Have you ever seen the old Detroit Pistons and how rough they were yet Jordon still scored on them.  Lebron would have cried like a school girl playing against Rodman, Dumars, Laimbeer and Thomas.  yet Jordan played like a champ.  Come on man.

This sums it up.
The answer is "yes".

bingo.  Better athletes but not players.  The original team had true basketball players.

It's tough for alot of fans, myself included, to take the NBA game seriously today if you also watched during the 1980's and early 1990's. Those guys were in a whole another league when it came to toughness and just the way they played the game.

What did shaq do without Kobe or D-Wade?  EXACTLY...NOTHING....Kob e is a better leader and ball player than Shaq.  Kobe is as much as a part of those 5 rings as fat ass "Shack". Kobe is  a fucking killer, it's in his blood.  I've hated the guy for years but at this point I respect the hell out of him.

To be perfectly honest, Kobe was pretty damn clutch in the last Olympics and hit some big shots towards the end of a couple close games.

Defensively, put Lebron on Jordan and Jordan would get shut down. I know its blasphamy and if you search you'll see I'm a Lebron hater, it's pure truth.  Lebron can play defense on anyone.
Your forgetting Lebron plays 4th quarter ball, Jordan played ALL for quarters ball. Also, Jordan wouldn't hesitate to take a shot, or the last shot. Lebron gets scared and hesitates. And Jordan, no matter how good the defender was, would find a way...plus, the way Jordan would set up the defenders, using head movements, dude would get so far into Lebron's head, it wouldn't be funny. Lebron plays basketball, Jordan was a student of the game. From Dean Smith on up to Phil Jackson, he had people who taught him the game.

Big deal?  What point does that prove? So Shaq won one without Phil and Jordan didn't is Shaq better than Jordan now?  lol

Stop dude...BTW real shitty picture you posted it's ok though, Duncan will go down as a better player than Shaq and I'm very happy with that....All on one team.

It almost got comical there for a while. EVERYBODY in the arena and watching on television knew that Lebron needed to take the shot within the last 2 minutes or so and there were times where he would pass the ball just as soon as he received it.

Jordan was the most protected player by the refs ever. At one point of his career, you just couldn't touch him. 1993 Eastern Conference Finals was pure BS. Jordan might still have scored against the Pistons but he lost like, what, three times in the playoffs before he could beat an aging and injured riddled team.

Now duncan i can agree, Awesome player, robinson (who i always like but was a thick built pussy, malon would always make him cry) gravy trained that ring from Duncan like kobe did shaq.

Duncan the big robot needs to win another Ring, but even if he does we all know he still wont get looked at like the rest of them (shaq,Wilt, Kareem,Olajuwon) , NBA is all about marketing

I'm sorry Parker and Poly, I'm little confused I thought we were in 2012, you know, present day? Where Lebron put up some of the sickest numbers in NBA history in the playoffs and finals...Including the 4th quarter.  I think it's safe to say those 4th quarter jokes will now be labled as lame.

Lebron cried his ass out of Cleveland and out of the running as the greatest ever. Jordan Prime would will the Bulls over that bullshit down in Miami, and of course, he'd take it to the hole on LeDumb.  Jordan would have him in foul trouble by the 3rd qtr and would make Wade invisible.  Pippen's assigment would be Lebron while Jordan would glove Wade.  

In the same generation, there would still be Air.  I highly doubt LB23 would be in existence.

Shaq was a one dimensional player---post up, then dunk, maybe have a little 10-15 footer. That's about it.  He only played on his height and weight...but even Dennis Rodman gave him trouble.

The only thing the 2012 team wins on is egos and astronomical salaries.

the dream team was the shit. They delivered so many ass-rapings, it was criminal. They put basketball to a whole new level.

Lebron has played better this year towards the end of games, yes he did. But just from looking at that 1992 team give me Jordan, Bird, Malone and Magic to take the last shot or make something happen.

11 of the 12 players on the dream were hall of famers.  I believe 10 of them were on the NBA's list of top 50 greatest players ever.
