Re: Olympic basketball thread

I was just thinking about this topic this morning, Q…why does the US do so well in the Olympics when we are only the 3rd most populous country. I think the answer is you need three things to be successful: population, physical attributes like size, strength and athleticism, and wealth and a lifesty...

Re: Rudy Gobert Contract

NAZ scores 20 points per 36, those guys aren't easy to find. And he hasn't even started his prime yet. I'd hate to see him leaving the Wolves turn into an Alex English situation. I know I'm old, but look him up.

Re: If the 92 Dream Team played the current 24 Olympic team who would win?

I do think MJ would develop a very good 3 in this era, but I'm not fully convinced on some of the others like Malone, Barkley, Ewing, D Robinson. The three ball is a huge factor. Even Embiid is a good 3P shooter. The 24 team has so many dudes who can shoot, the 92 team, not so much. But you never k...

Re: If the 92 Dream Team played the current 24 Olympic team who would win?

I think you have to look at it as Q suggests, assume the 92 team grew up in this era alongside the 24's. Michael would still be the goat, Magic would still be the greatest point guard of all time, and Larry Bird would inspire a rule change of the 3 point shooting distance FIBA currently has. Also, ...

92 Was the best team ever put together. They would win 7 out of 10 games against this current team.
