1992 Dream Team Vs the 2012 Olympic Team

The 2012 Olympics are right around the corner and while Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte get ready to battle in the pool the United States basketball team is also drawing up headlines. Recently Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant who is also on the United States men's basketball team said they were better then the 1992 Dream team. The Dream team with members like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and other great players disagrees with this comment. Guys like Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley have already started fighting this statement. I say let them play it out on the court. With the help of what if sports I made the teams and they will play out this game. This will be a best of 7 series because I feel one game won't decide the winner. The rosters are players are correct except for Blake Griffin replaced Anthony Davis because what if sports only has players who played a minimum of 200 minutes in a game in the NBA. On the other side, Magic Johnson and Christian Laettner did not play in the NBA the 1991-92 season so Johnson is the 90-91 Johnson and Laettner is the 92-93 Laettner. The home stadiums are also different as for the 2012 team its the Staples Center and the 1992 team get the United Center.

That's That so on with the best of Seven!!!!
