I believe the question the reporter asked Kobe was "How would your current team do against the Dream Team?"
His answer was he did admit the Dream Team had more size but were a lot older as well as at the end of their careers so yeah they could pull it out....and a bit of a smirk at the end. So it certainly connotes a different meaning than winning a single game against the Dream Team.
haha yup that's where he made the mistake. You got selfish players in the 2012 team (Kobe, anthony and westbrook to name a few) vs. team players in 1992. Dream team will blow them out. One or two guys will not make you win or make you a great team. The question always pop out how dream team players will guard the likes of Lebron, Bryant and Durant. I think we should turn the question around and ask "How will they guard Jordan, Drexler, Ewing, Robinson, Malone and Barkley?", to name a few.
The 1992 dream team is the best team ever assembled in basketball. Period!!
The only way the 2012 team will win against the 1992 team is thru NBA 2k13.
Sana they have all the olympic teams there, Olympic tournament mode!!!! That would be fun.
Btw, On Jordan and Barkley's comments. Siempre they got insulted bec. if you look at the 1992 roster, only Bird and Magic are the ones at the tail end of their careers. After 1992 most of these guys still played for the NBA Championship.
Ewing, Robinson, Drexler, Jordan, Pippen, Stockton, Malone, Barkley etc played for the championship. Si Laettner lang ata wala.
Man palusot lang yan si Kobe.
