(PG’s) John Stockton, Magic Johnson, (SG’s) Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, (SF’s) Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Chris Mullin, (PF’s) Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Christian Laettner, (C’s) David Robinson, Patrick Ewing. And I chose a collegiate player to match. (I also think the 1996, 20 were just as good, but people still seem to remain loyal with the originals.) I stuck with the original Dream Team’s format of four point/shooting guards, six small/power forwards, and two centers. So I argue, if I put together my own Dream Team comprised of stars from the 2016 NBA season, they would not only equal the original team, but far surpass them. He won how many championships? Wilt Chamberlain averaged how many points a season? And slept with how many women? (It would be tough dating a woman knowing she slept with Wilt the Stilt. I think Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever until you start reciting me Bill Russell stats. I thought he was the savior long before they started pushing Jesus.Īnd look, I could probably be talked into these legends being the all-time best if you catch me on the right day.

Oh, don’t even get him started on Moses Malone.

J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Nate “Tiny” Archibald, Walt Frazier, Elgin Baylor and Moses Malone. All I heard growing up were the names Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, “Pistol Pete,” George Gervin, Oscar Robertson, Dr.

My father’s formative years were in the late 1960’s and 70’s, and this is the NBA era he thinks will never be bested. But to say there can never be a greater team? Since 1992, it’s all been downhill? That’s spitting in the face of today’s players (probably from Charles Barkley, he was a spitter).īut here’s what’s interesting. Greatest at that time? Sure, no argument here. I chose to focus on the ’92 Dream Team because I too thought this team was untouchable - but that’s changed. Let’s remove the “keep off grass” sign together. Maybe our lawn should be a place where children come to frolic and play. I’m sure age is getting the better of our once reasonable minds. Maybe your grandmother’s eggs were runny and she occasionally burned the toast. Maybe there are funnier shows on television today and Seinfeld was simply the first of its kind. Let us join hands brothers and sisters and sing songs of change and unity. So, if what you feel about your grandmother’s cooking is on the same level as what I feel about Seinfeld - this article faces a sturdy uphill climb. If you ask me the greatest hip-hop album of all time, I’m going to say A Tribe Called Quest’s “Midnight Marauders.” And the greatest television comedy of all time? Seinfeld. In other words, you’re a stubborn-ass-mule and it’s really annoying. I’m just trying to talk you into being more open-minded about certain opinions and/or memories that have been corroded by time. And the 1992 Olympic Dream Team is not the greatest basketball team that ever was, or will be. That beautiful, foreign woman, who emailed she loved you and needed $5000 transferred to her account in order to escape…actually, that one seemed pretty legit. Both of your childhood dogs had below average intelligence (even by dog standards). The girl that sat across from you in algebra never liked you. Your grandmother’s cooking was not very good.
