Thanks Paul. His comparison stopped short of actually naming a better team and instead turned his article in a different direction (more about carry overs players and when we can see this team re-assemble?)

[...] in the same fashion that the current team owned Beijing. Many sports pundits began asking, which team wins head-to-head? The exciting 2008 gold medal victory over Spain completed a very important chapter in the history [...]

I saw that…just goes to show what a solid idea this was! And (of course I’m a bit biased) I still think yours is better

Damn, Chris Sheridan. I wrote it first. I want 1200 comments on my article.

I’m going to miss the trapezoid lanes when watching NBA from now on.

Mullin does make Bird look very tan. I almost forgot what Chuck Daly looked like

Is anyone concerned with how pale Chris Mullin is in the Dream Team picture above?

Like I said, D-Wade would be the toughest matchup for the Dream Team.

Since Mullin was the 2nd leading scorer on the Dream Team and that roster already included Jordan and Clyde, I can’t replace him with Wilkins. ‘Nique wouldn’t have had a good fit in 1992.

Christian Laettner was the token college kid.

I was extremely impressed with Kobe in the 4th quarter. He finally looked like something was important to him. Plus he was one of the outward happiest guys on medal stand. I almost forgot I hated him for about 12 hours.

D Wade 27 pts, 21 in the first half… a huge three near the end of the game… U S A… U S A… U S A… glad I stayed up for the gold medal game… it was awesome… glad Kobe showed up in the 4th quarter…

and yes, I am buying Ricky Rubio’s stock for my next mock draft

What a great Gold Medal game. Loved the article.

This game is much closer than I thought at the half. Both Spain and the U.S. are shooting like 70%. US is going to put up 140 pts, but their defense has been awful
