We did it for movies, so, what is your favorite sport to watch when stoned?

While those players had star power and personality, I think the talent pool is constantly getting better in the NBA and I'd say the level at which the game is being played now is greater then it was in the 80's or 90's. And I've tried to watch as much basketball from the past as I can, even downloaded the entire 70 win Chicago Bulls season recently and watched almost all of it.

I think Lebron, Kobe, Garnett, Paul, Howard, Nash, Dirk, Derron Williams, McGrady, Baron ect. I would pit that against any talent pool and take my chances. Maybe not the dominating star power of the Showtime Lakers or the Bad Boys but a great era right now no doubt.

But the point guard is a timeless position in sports and most every great point guard in the history of the sport will have been a great point guard in no matter what era they played. There are some great Pistol Pete documentaries out there.

The 1992 ORIGINAL Dream Team is the greatest team ever created in the history of SPORT....not just basketball but SPORT...it doesn't matter what sport it's just the greatest talent ever assembled it was like the freaking Justice League of sport

• Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns
• Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics
• Clyde Drexler of the Portland Trail Blazers
• Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks
• Earvin "Magic" Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers
• Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls
• Christian Laettner of Duke University
• Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz
• Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors
• Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls
• David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs
• John Stockton of the Utah Jazz

Coach: Chuck Daly of the Detroit Pistons[8]
The only players not named on the NBA's 50 Greatest list were Laettner and Mullin.

The closest game they had was 117-85 vs Croatia.

OK, now the Dream Team was amazing for a couple reasons. Firstly, international basketball was at nowhere near the level of the USA and most professional European players didn't compete. They had no competition but were the greatest team ever assembled imo.

However, when you look at all those players individually and they by no means blow away the talent there is today. Take the Dream Team, and tell me they are more talented then any players of today. Off talent not accomplishments, I think today stacks up just as well.

At power forward, I would take Garnett over Barkley. Better defensively, grabs just as many rebounds and scores more with range all the way back to the three point line.

Bird I will give you there is no better shot ever in basketball and at the 3 spot there is no better spot shooter in the NBA today. Give him a spot to the court, he'll stop on it and make a shot. Nobody in basketball possesses that today.

Drexler, Lebron. It's a simple choice, Lebron is essentially Clyde Drexler they are the same build at the 2 guard but obviously the advantage is Lebron. He could be the most talented player in the history of basketball. Go a little deeper, Tracy McGrady has to be mentioned as greater also.

Dwight Howard at center is going to be one of the best centers in the history of basketball imo and in the same breath as Ewing in terms of accomplishments. The most athletic center there has ever been along with Stoudamire. Garnett played center sometimes in Minnesota and was in the breath to.

Magic and Michael, Kobe and Lebron. It's like splitting hairs really. All are clearly the best players on the court at all times, all are just so far head and shoulders above the rest that it's hard to compare. Obviously Magic and Michael accomplished quadruple what both of these two combined have done but they both have time. I would love to see this 2 on 2, it's splitting hairs though they are maybe the 4 best players in the history of basketball in terms of talent at the shooting guard position with both Magic and Lebron essentially running their teams point guard position. Not as much for Lebron but he might as well be the teams point guard and pretty much is in the playoffs.

After that, look at the great point guards today Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Tony Parker all are great. I would take Paul over any point guard in NBA history if I had to pick them as rookies.

amat, we're talking about Jordan in his PRIME...Malone in his PRIME...Barkley in his PRIME. Johnson and Bird were the only older guys out there and they were still great players even then.

I'll give it to you Howard, Paul, Nash, Davis....those guys are all going to be great BUT bar Lattner and Mullin all of Team USA was in the NBA's top 50 players of all time....that is ridiculous.

Sure the international basketball wasn't as good as it is today but dude it wouldn't have mattered because all those guys knew how to win AS A TEAM and that's where the NBA today falls short. Do you think Jordan couldn't have dropped 80 on the Raptors I know for damn sure he could have done that but he was a TEAM player and it wasn't always all about him.

Plus those guys were bad ass....Charles Barkley elbowing some guy from another team in the chest while USA is up by like 50 points....they weren't just going to win, they were going to make those other teams look as bad as possible.

Karl Malone and Charles Barkley aside from Kevin McHale are probably the best power forwards to ever play the game. I will say that KG seems to have SOME of the attitude that Chuck played with.

And they ALL could play defense

Hey Mullin should be a hall of famer I wouldn't say bar Mullin. And I know that team is great but you can't convince me that Jordan was anymore talented in his prime then Kobe or Lebron are. He accomplished more and had some strengths where they have weaknesses and likewise but the talent level in the NBA is what I'm talking about. Of course they haven't accomplished what those guys did but match up with them talent wise. And I'm talking about the NBA.

I agree about them not being able to play as a team but I blame that on Larry Brown, I think under Coach K and 2 years together that the Olympic team this year will take gold in a very competitive games.

And Kobe had to go for 81 because last year the Lakers sucked. Plain and simple, they were Kobe Bryant with a fourth or fifth scoring option. No help for Kobe on that team last year and when he got help we now see the unselfish play and the more confidence in his teammates. I remember watching a Lakers game last year and it was early in the year and I knew the Lakers would be in trouble if Kobe had to kick out to Jordan Farmar all year.
