None of those "best defenders" was a Lebron. Dude is on another level defensively when he wants to be. 6'8 260 Lebron would successfully nullify 6'6 220 Jordan. Jordan is still king but if Lebron guarded Jordan, Jordan aint scoring over 20. There would be nothing Jordan could do to stop Lebron despite all his 1st team defense awards. Lebrons too big to fast to strong. Lebron would score 30 or more on Jordan every night.

your kidding right?

He's so off about them being old. Jordan was in his fucking prime! Barkley too. Kobe is the one past his prime, he's 36 I think. Jordan was maybe 28? Bird and Magic were the older guard on that team but were still a hell of a lot tougher and smarter than anyone on the current team.

This^^^Kobe is an old man compared to the key players in the 92 team. It's so easy to spot a sociopath. Kobe just can't jump outside of his own head and look back at himself.

The dream team won by an average of 43 points per game.

Let's see what Kobe can average against these japs, brits, Cubans and Russian , I bet they struggle thru a game or two during their gold chase

You are insane... Kobe is 33.

Jordan was 28 or 29 in 92... Bird and Magic were both done... Magic had actually been retired a year.

I actually agree with Kobe... I believe the current guys could have beaten the 92 team... I don't think it would be a blowout on any level, but I think they could be the 92 team.

I mean... Of course the current team doesn't have Christian Laettner, so I'm sure that's a deciding factor.

Now in their prime... Of course this team couldn't beat those guys if they were ALL in their prime... but at their state in 92?

I think Kobe is right.

Jordan was 28-29 in 92, not 38...if he were 38, what he did after 92 would have put him beyond mythical status, it would have put him into Paul Bunyun, Peycos Bill, John Henry Status.
Plus, as is pointed out, 2012 has no real centers---
the only thing the 2012 team would have beat the 92 team would be in bruised egos.

Yeah, It was a typo... But the TEAM isn't better in 92.

Jordan was amazing at the time... no one is going to deny that, but damn... You think the rest of that team is Jordan?

They just aren't.

Sorry... Today's team is a better TEAM.

Of the 12 players on the Dram team, 10 would be named in 1996 to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, the NBA's official list of the 50 greatest players of the league's first 50 years

of the 12 dream team players 11 future Hall of Fame , unfortunately Christian Laettner didnt make the HOF

besides James, kobe , and maybe durant, their is only 3 HOF players on that roster

plus the rules of basketball have changed so much, its much more of a pussy league then it was in its glory days of the 80's and early 90's , nowadays you get a foul called every 3rd play

Yes, they are better, better at flopping...

And let's get the ref's involved, who'd get more calls to go in his favor, Jordan or wannabe Jordan?
Jordan of course, because he Knew the game, he loved the game, the rest (today's guys) are in it for the money.

Paul, Anthony, and Griffin are all HOFers I think... (Yes, I know that Griffin hurt his Miniscus and has to sit)

Malone would elbow Lebron and Lebron would have to be med-evaced out of the building with a helicopter landing in half court.

I know much more about basketball than you, I guarentee...Hop of Jordan's nuts and come back to reality.

Thats nice, maybe you could consider some facts to counter my argument?Are there any for Lebron?

What pressure?

The pressure was to take Cleveland from the depths to the best the way Jordan did with Chicago. He failed at that! It's that plain and simple.

So, he won a championship with an all-star team of his generation. Shit, when Chicago was getting kicked by LA, Boston and Detroit, Jordan should have join one of those teams, so he could get his easy ring before his time.

Even if he wins 7 rings, he didn't take a dweller to the promise land.

Oh, was it the pressure to be the first billionaire athlete, as he says? Someone forgot to tell him Woods has been there and done that, but I guess to him Tiger isn't an athlete.

Fuck Lebron and his oddly named shoe, LB23!

Air Forever and the REAL 23!

How does Jordan's dick taste?

The 2012 team is new so they would definitely beat the old-ass 1992 team, except for people who were bigger fans of basketball in '92 than they are today...then the 1992 team would win. It's so obvious that I can't believe that I have to explain it.

Lebron would hold Jordan to zero points and Kobe would make Magic look like a sluggish acromegalic. Unless Jordan found a way to "will himself" to victory and do whatever was needed to win while Magic had too much "court sense" for Kobe to handle. Plus "real" centers on 1992 team and "athleticism" on the 2012 team. If you can't see this then you don't understand the game of basketball.

Are you trolling or what? Most of the players on the 1992 team were in their prime, not "old-ass." Jordan Mallone Barkley Ewing Magic. Nuff said. All the players can do now is dunk, nobody can shoot
