I think it’s clear that the 2008 Redeem team was the greatest team.

Didn’t the dream team lose to a bunch of college kids? I feel like that’d be a lot more embarrassing than beating jokic
Yeah losing a meaningless scrimmage compares to choking on the big stage.
Losing a game against literal children vs winning a game against the best player in the world…what point were you trying to make?
Top college players and children now? Also, what part of a meaningless scrimmage and trying your fucking hardest in the Olympics confused you?

You are such a hypocrite (along with being dumb as a brick) Deez. If the 2024 team had lost such a game to college players, you'd be ALL OVER IT. And meanwhile, the South Sudan near call was a pre tournament game. They crushed them in the actual tournament game, up 20 at the half and just cruising thereafter.

One game samples in general are close to meaningless. The 96 Bulls lost to the expansion Raptors. So what? Shit can happen. Serbia has the best player in the world and got hot from deep. In the end, it didn't matter because Curry went apeshit when it mattered most.

But both proved a point. The evolution of the game, and especially the importance of getting 3 points for a bucket instead of 2, has materially changed the game since 1992. It's NOTHING AGAINST THAT TEAM, the game has just evolved and gotten better.

Oh when you put it that way, the dream team lost to bunch of children who weren’t even trying while this years team won a game against the best player in the world while he was trying his hardest? This hole you’re digging is just getting deeper bud

Amazing how much insight this old dumb ass had on that scrimmage, vs the present. But what do I know.

Bro, Deez has made like 3 posts in the last 5 years and you’re here freaking out “YoU wOuLd HaVe bEeN aLl oVeR iT”

It’s okay. Even though you are Canadian, USA won the gold and LeFaggot may still see that postcard you sent him

Did you coach against both the dream team and this years team? Sorry, have to take his opinion over yours
You and that Coach can have your "opinion". I have irrefutable facts.
So you’re saying you know more than a guy who coached against both teams?
I'm saying Facts >>> Opinions, and I have the facts on my side.

You can shut the fuck up, yeah a one game sample, I wasn’t criticizing a one game sample. He continues to bring up a meaningless scrimmage game. Comparing actual Olympic Games to that is a fucking joke. Yes USA got it done, they also did not look great doing it.

I have very few recollections of Deez ever making sense. He earned his moniker.

Like TDK, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Titan, they are stuck in their infatuation of MJ, the 90s Bulls and everything about it. He can't get his head around the evolution of the game and the notion that the 24 Dream team is a better team than the 92 team. It's no fault of the 92 team, but no matter. It's just classic denial.

I was a huge MJ fan in the 90s and of the Bulls. They were by far the best hoops had to offer. But the game evolves. It waits for no one.

If you want to argue relative to era, then it's a good debate. In absolute terms though, it's not very close.

Says the guy who thinks Bill Russell is the GOAT because of his Defense YET considers today's Defense-less NBA to be the GOAT era.

Yeah, that makes sense.
