The U.S. men's basketball team starring Kobe Bryant and LeBron James heads into the medal round at the Beijing Olympics having faced no stiff competition. How the 2008 Redeem Team stacks up against the Michael Jordan- and Magic Johnson-led 1992 Dream Team.
The '92dream team is the best in their times and the '08redeem team is also the best now. Theres no sense of comparing both teams, while it is true that the 92dream team beats evry opponent in big margins, it is becoz other teams were far behind in terms of training and technology whereas, nowadays since the entry of the 92dream team in the olympics, other teams were influenced and challenged and maybe some were even educated with proper basketball training by the americans themselves. in effect, more teams were able to improve their skills, training and tech which make them competent and be at par with that of the americans. So if I were to ask who is better between 92dream team and 08 redeem team, i think its the 08redeem team becoz although they are equal in talents the latter is more advance and athletic. If only the 08 redeem team could play in the '92 olympics, i think they would do the same or even better than that of the dream team. Another thing to consider is that the redeem team has never been behind in halftimes in terms of score not even during tune up or exhibition games unlike the 92dream team who had been behind in halftimes during exhibition and even in the olympics. I remember the US NCAA selection team beating them in halftime then resorting to their big centers to be able to cope, another is during the olympics between the US and croatia where the latter lead by 10 pts betore heading to the 2nd half. kudos to the redeem team dont wory if u can not please evrybody, there are always those sick mlnded with negative thoughts but no wory they are just a dot in the naked eye.
