and Mullin was 38.4%. How much closer to Steph Curry's 42.8% career mark would they have been?

Best team ever?

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

Blueto

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?

GS will gladly trade 2s for 3s

GSwarriorcoug

8/13/22 12:35am

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

Tuskaloosa Cougar

First off, I was only talking starting 5s.

GSwarriorcoug

8/13/22 9:38pm

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

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

Blueto

“Well, that’s like your opinion man”

Tuskaloosa Cougar

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

Tuskaloosa Cougar

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

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

GSwarriorcoug

8/14/22 12:12am

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

Gentleman Stan

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.

I guess my point is that it's dumb to compare teams from different eras and

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

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

Jay Kay

8/13/22 2:53am

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?

Benfica1

8/12/22 11:53pm

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

buckeyecougarguy

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

Vert der Frick

Ewing is the weakest player.

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.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/14/22 1:10pm

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

Jay Kay

8/14/22 9:52pm

It’s a waste of time. Steph is going to beat DT1 by

If we are talking about the entire roster for the team usa v. the entire roster

Here is a career highlight compilation of Bird’s threes

Jay Kay

No one guarded Bird outside the arc. Those are

GSwarriorcoug

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

I think it would be better. The difference is that they would have been catch

Bird was so crafty, IMO you are underrating him
