Not sure how hand checking a dribbler matters that much when the warriors

dribble less than any team in history. Hand checking isn’t going to stop off ball movement. And none of team usa’s defenders will either.

Also matters a lot less to running offenses

Hand checking mattered to 90s teams that dribbled constantly in the half court

Best team ever?

Yes. In any sport.

GSW would beat them by 20. No three point shooters. One perimeter defender

Blueto

8/12/22 10:21pm

Is hand checking allowed?

Hypnotoad

8/12/22 10:27pm

Doesn't matter. Who are Malone,Barkley, and Ewing going to guard?

Blueto

8/12/22 10:28pm

Who from GSW is going to guard them?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/12/22 10:54pm

GS will gladly trade 2s for 3s

8/13/22 12:35am

Consider FG% from dream team at 2 compared to at gsw at 3.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/13/22 7:52am

First off, I was only talking starting 5s.

8/13/22 9:38pm

I forgot, it was Ewing instead of bird. Now they have

8/13/22 9:42pm

You don’t happen to be a GSW fan?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/13/22 9:45pm

Not a GSW fan...and they would easily beat this five. Not close.

Blueto

8/13/22 11:13pm

Nope, no way, it’s not even close. Even if they played 100 times.

Basketball occupies such an interesting place in the cultural zeitgeist in that

I agree the game has changed, but the athletes from the dream team are just as

I agree with a lot of what you say, but the defense in that USA team is not good

DT1 fast break was incredible

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/14/22 12:08pm

It has nothing to do with bias. I love my 80s 49ers

8/14/22 12:12am

They better shoot 65% then, because they'll have a 2/1 rebound deficit.

8/13/22 8:57am

Post ups are such an easy guard... it's why no team really does it. You have

Blueto

8/13/22 8:23am

Ask Isiah Thomas how easy layups are.

Remember Tyler Haws trying to get open in WCC games? That’s why it matters

They do that now. Curry gets mauled, constantly. The NBA has made it a point to

Is GS allowed to dribble with carries every time

Oat'n'bow

8/13/22 6:15am

I don’t know about that, but the 2017 GSW team would definitely give them a game

Jay Kay

8/12/22 10:40pm

You do know that they already played together, right?

Bird, Mullin, Stockton are about equal with Durant from three. Klay, Steph

8/12/22 11:02pm

Oh my, can you imagine if Shaq & Hakeem replaced those two?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/12/22 11:07pm

I thought we were just talking about the starting five

Jay Kay

8/12/22 11:08pm

Against Warriors would have to sub Pippen for Ewing... and then dominate

MogollonMtsCoug

Minus Patrick Ewing

8/12/22 10:24pm

Ewing is the weakest player.

The Y's Insider

8/12/22 11:09pm

I wonder how good at shooting 3s, Bird & Mullin would have been had they grown up shooting them? Bird was a career 37.6%

Spiff

8/14/22 11:09am

If bird was defended like steph is today, it would probably be worse than it was

Jay Kay

8/14/22 11:29am

Free throw shooting is a good comp because it equalizes everything and players

Jay Kay

8/14/22 11:40am

Did you actually watch Bird live? I’m curious about your age as well.

I’ve recently watched all of his finals games and a lot of his playoff games.

No one guarded Bird outside the arc. Those are

Bird had to deal with a lot of grabbing and pushing allowed back in the 1980s
