POLL: If Isaiah Thomas made the Dream Team who do you kick off the team to free up a spot for him?

Anybody voting for Chris Mullin doesn't know that era of basketball.

RyneK

5/27/20 11:03am

Nor remember he was the second or third best performer

bluelands

5/27/20 11:07am

Wow, took a quick look at his stats. He dominated in the early 90s. (link)

So dumb they put laettner on the team and not Shaq

Cougero

5/27/20 11:03am

I agree. Shaq could have actually played at a high enough level to matter.

ReyOso

Laettner really did earn it though based on his college career. Looking back

Thrill

"Earned it"

Cougero

5/27/20 11:17am

I would have picked Shaq and I hated Laettner at the time, but it was hard to

Thrill

5/27/20 11:27am

I respect this take.

Cougero

5/27/20 11:57am

Why was Bird on the team, then?

messi

Non Sequitur

Cougero

5/27/20 12:01pm

No it’s not. The situations are similar. Laettner was rewarded

messi

If you want to believe that Laettner deserved to be on the dream team as much as

Plus, Shaq was just stronger. Easier for him to carry everyone's luggage.

Nah, Laettner earned it.

messi

The obvious answer is Laettner but

5/27/20 11:04am

The obvious choice was Shaq, the hey you have participated in all these things

Cougero

5/27/20 11:06am

people forget just how dominant Laettner was in 92. he did everything; Wooden award, NCAA tourney champ & MVP, etc.

byujag

Laettner had a Great College Career.

Cougero

This is the question that I've not heard national media types answer.

Stockton broke his leg about a month before the Olympics and still played

Thrill

Nique was more deserving anyway

Odysseus

Probably not popular, but Magic had retired due to HIV and knee problems.

CocaColaRecovery

5/27/20 11:12am

Bird and Magic were both well past their primes at this point

donnerstag

5/27/20 11:14am

Easy answer here is Jordan. It was an either or situation here. So Thomas means

Baron

5/27/20 11:13am

I believe it wasn't just Thomas or Jordan. It was Thomas or Jordan AND Magic AND Bird AND Malone AND Barkley.

BlackBart

I personally think Terry Porter and Kevin Johnson were both better options than

jreid191

5/27/20 11:20am

Drexler was the last selection. In the lens of 1992, he probably gets left off.

OPINIONS

5/27/20 11:26am

Bird and Magic were both WAY past their primes. Magic was literally retired.

OPINIONS

5/27/20 11:27am

Magic may have been retired, but he was still a top five player at the time.

Josef K

5/27/20 11:45am

Drexler was first team all NBA. 25/7/7

bluelands

5/27/20 12:38pm

This is a good poll question

Linescratcher

5/27/20 11:27am

I think they got it right. Thomas didnt deserve to be on the team.

Josef K

5/27/20 11:42am

The uproar is because the media doesn't look to exclude anyone in the argument.

JJCoug

RockyBalboa

Exactly.

MaxxPower

Up to that point in 1992, Stockton and Malone had never won a Western Conference

Josef K

5/27/20 2:15pm

There wasn't a better distributer than Stockton.

Eddie

5/27/20 2:52pm

Thomas was good before the dream team assembled, but at the time, Kevin Johnson

MaxxPower

5/27/20 12:54pm

The travesty was having two Jazz players on the team.

JordanSpieth

5/27/20 12:54pm

Who would you remove, the all-time top point

MaxxPower

5/27/20 4:50pm

Again, you're confusing Stockton's later success with what he and Malone

JordanSpieth

5/28/20 10:22am

Bird - it was a token gesture. His back was wrecked by then.

BlackBart

5/27/20 2:42pm

Even with his wrecked back, Bird provided shooting which was the one area where
