I want to know your opinion. What if the olympic team of 2012 featuring some of the brightest nba stars of today went up against the dream team of 1992. Keep in mind that most the players on the 92 squad were in their prime. Who would win a seven game series? Your thoughts...

I think the Dream Team of 1992 set a standard that other teams have failed to match so far. This team that has been assembled now, we will have to wait and watch how they perform at the the Olympics. Any talks of comparison should only come if they can win the gold and remain undefeated in the tournament. Remember the original Dream Team won all their matches and their average margin of victory was in excess of 20 points per game!!
Cheers!

Very good point. The dream team dominated and the way they handled opponents is unparallel. David Robinson was in his prime. Barkley was in his prime. Jordan was on top off his game. Not to mention karl malone and Magic. The olympic team of today is loaded with brillant atheletic guys but I dont think we've seen the best basketball out of some of those guys. Though we will never see the matchup it would be a interesting seven game series.
Thanks polo

My bet is for the dream team of 2012. They are all legend and more experienced than the new olympic team of 2012. They are too young but hoping they will bring the gold for their country.

I would go with the 1992 team. I really think they are better then this years Olypmic team. Yes I know the 1992 team are in their 40's and 50's. They were the first and best dream team ever! Magic,Bird,Malone,Ewing,Barkley,Robinson,Mullins,Dexler,Laettner,Stockton,Pippin and the best player ever in NBA history Michael Jordan! No hands down! They would beat the 2012 team! Yes the 2012 team has some great players like James,Bryant and Melo for example. They are not the greatest players of all time even some say James is! Also some of the team are not household names and not proven winners on their NBA teams. Some will be like Durrant's Thunder (they are but need to win an NBA championship to be proven winners). Anyway the 1992 Dream team would win a 7 game series over the 2012 Olypmic team!

I think the team of 2012 will win it. It will not be easy. I think the team of today are much athletic and good on the open floor. They will be much fresher.

4-0 sweep for the 1992 Dream team. That team is the best team EVER formed. Maturity, professionalism and love for the game best described the attitude of almost all the players on that team. It would be hard to imagine that team losing to any team regardless of time. ( meaning against teams now and the future )

I'd always go where Kobe goes. Call me arrogant or stupid, I am a fan. I would like to believe this team is a good match to the dream team or even better. I definitely would want to see them go at each other but that's something we can only simulate and not really experience, unfortunately.
