Ive been an Irving fan ever since I saw him steal the show as a junior at a televised espn high school game a few years back, but there is no way he matches up well with Bryant. Kobe has 4 or 5 inches on him and would just sit in the post all game.

Still tho, Kobe got that look. That "Im smiling, but Im seriously pissed about this," look.

Wrong thread.

But it is a shame that he didn't make the olympic squad.

Jordan claims Bobcats could also beat 2012 Team USA

Find out how you can write for The Heckler!
Michael Jordan elevated his war of words with Kobe Bryant by further putting down the current Team USA roster. The Hall of Famer has vehemently disagreed with Bryant’s comparison of the historic and current squads, but didn’t leave it at just that. Jordan, who currently owns the Charlotte Bobcats, said his own NBA franchise can defeat the current incarnation of the “dream team.”

“They have talent,” said Jordan of Team USA. “But I’d like to see those All-Stars who never play with each other develop a rapport fast enough to not only deal with the Puerto Rico’s and Germany’s of the world, but also the Charlotte Bobcats. Guys like Bismack Biyombo, Kemba Walker and Matt Carroll go out there and fight and sweat for one another. They could mop the floor with this Team USA.”

Many basketball experts, players and fans were quick to jump to Jordan’s side when he made his initial rebuttal towards Bryant. Now there appears to be confusion in the camp, especially from the always outspoken Charles Barkley.

“I was with Michael up until a certain point,” said Barkley. “Saying that all of us on the 1992 dream team, in our primes, could beat this year’s team is a fact. But you can’t say the Charlotte Bobcats could ‘mop the floor with them.’ The Bobcats are an abomination to the NBA. Michael brought up the Matt Carrolls of the world. Matt Carroll looks like the kid who valeted my car last night.”

Team UsA is losing!!!

25-17 to Rail

Good game so far against france...

Count me as unimpressed so far. They are a 3-point shooting team with no interior defense so far as I've seen.

With that talent, they should be getting uncontested looks.

Some French guy playing in the Russian League was taking it to them last game. Now, they're up 6 on Tunisia midway through 2.

If only I could know what Jordan might be thinking right now....

Tunisia might be winning this game at halftime.

Harden saving their ass by actually driving to the basket.

I've yet to see them post a guy up and send it down low in 1 1/2 games.

The greatest team ever assembled goes on a run at the end of the 1st half to push their lead from 5 to 13 against what might be the greatest collection of Tunisian talent I've ever seen.

Unless the United States blows the doors off in the second half, the whole "better than the Dream Team" thing dies here. It's acceptable to say that Argentina and Spain are better than they were back then, but leading Tunisia by 13 at halftime is a joke. There is no way Tunisia is better than pretty much every team from 1992.

Lets go Lithuania.

Dammit...you had me thinking they actually might pull it off and "showtime" is up 9 now.

5 point win.

Against Lithuania.

But this team would beat a team led by Michael Jordan.

Australia keeping it close early in the second half.

The best player on Australia is a bench warmer for the Spurs.

Yeah, but they'd beat the dream team.

You doing alright BRick. You seem to be having a conversation with yourself. Maybe this is a quote?

I see Lebron has joined up with the Nazi party now. The Dirk/Lebron tandem might be an unstoppable force in the NBA. Chris Kaman will somehow find his way on the team too.

Hoepfully this puts and end to the "greatest team of all time" nonsense.

This team would be lucky to beat the 1984 Olympic Team.

92 team would beat these guys but Spain is better than any team they faced in 92.

They'd get murdered by the '72 team as well. Doug Collins would kick everyone's ass.

I don't know about that. The Croatia team in 92 was pretty solid and I think comparable to this years Spain team.

This should definitely end the discussion. This years team is great, just not nearly as great as the 92 team.

If Gasol(s) and Ibaka kicked their ass on the inside, just think what the 92 team would do. And the 92 team had guards WAY better than Spain.
