It might go to 7. If current players get hot from 3 then it’s over.
You guys analyze too much. A current team could beat the dream team in a 7 game series. Get real.

They wouldn't double Jordan. They would play zone and force Jordan to beat the defender off the dribble and then get around the front court defense when he does. Suggesting that the DT would wear them down suggests that the DT were in better physical condition than a modern DT would be. That is not believable.
Its all good. I'd rather stick with the higher percentage shots and those are 2 pointers.
No it isn't. They were. If you think KD is standing up to the physical play of guys like Ewing, Barkley and Malone, or that he's prepared to handle guys attacking the rim the way they did in the DT era, you're absurd.
And if you knew I was being facetious, why did you post that stupid crap you posted. Oh wait, let me guess...you were being facetious too.
Yes.
Sure the game is called differently, but that's not why it's less physical. It's less physical because the emphasis has changed and it's played more like it was in the 80's. Although it is still less physical than the 80's.
Additionally, the discussion is about rim protection and attacking the rim. They don't attack the rim like the did in the DT era so todays bigs aren't used to it. Which has also already been explained.
I'm done wasting my time with you. You're bullshit picking 1 point when there are more and trying to take things out of context just to argue has grown tiresome and boring.
Yeah I'm sure Magic and Jordan couldn't figure out how to penetrate a zone and move the ball. And I'm sure the current players just would wear down the DT with their punishing style of bball.
Too funny

Oh stop being a baby.
You're full of shit. You do nothing but try to take things out of context, pick one point out of several and make shit up, just to argue.
As I said, you're act is bullshit and it's grown tiresome and boring.
I love how so many people immediately come on here and say "no chance".
The DReam Team was absolutely great, but the reason they were so dominant was as much about their competition as it was about their actual team.
Worldwide competition finally reached the point where the US couldn't beat international pros with their own college guys in the late 80s, but it was nowhere near what it is today. Many of the game's biggest stars are foreign born now. Also, NBA guys being allowed to compete was a novelty in '92, so they all jumped at the chance. When was the last time team USA consisted of the best talent available? Players turn down invites all the time.
The fact is, that other countries were not equipped to compete with NBA stars in '92 the way they are now. I do believe it possible to assemble a squad of current players to beat the Dream Team, but chemistry and fit would matter a lot.
I like Sushi's squad, but would remove Love for somebody (anybody) else.
Except I didn't say the modern players would wear down the DT. And I'm sure Magic and Jordan would adjust their games to the modern game and excel. Because they are 2 of the greatest players of all time. They would adjust their game to fit the style. But there is no question that the players today are in much better condition than the players 20 years ago. The Round Mound of Rebound would struggle playing in the pace of play of today's game and the spacing that it demands.
It seems clear to me that you have two modes. When people agree with you, or at least they don't disagree with you, you are civil and cordial. When they don't agree with you, you decide to be a hostile dick.
Yeah, it's my fault.
What I said about your posting is 100% true. Your problem is that you know it and don't like being called on it.
Jump shooters gonna beat the Dream team Huh? I'm sure a slower more physical game would help the current players rhythm. Not to mention the pressure perimeter D they would face.
Good plan
DT in 6...
5 if LeClown gets menstrual cramps again...

I don't like people being needlessly dickish and I generally will respond in kind when they do.
Now there is some truth in this. The 3 point shot is much more of a weapon today than it was in the DT era. So today's players are much better at it. If they get hot and are dropping 3's right in guys faces...then yeah, the current guys win.
I don't think they can do that for 4 out of 7 games though.
