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 RaptorsI 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.

We'll just have to agree to disagree....the Dream Team was the greatest team ever put together.
Here's what I would put out for the Olympics:
C: Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, Chris Bosh
PF: Elton Brand, Amare Stoudamire
SF: Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony
SG: Kobe Bryant, Michael Redd, Dwayne Wade
PG: Chris Paul, Deron Williams
