Tweet of the Day goes to HoopsHype for quoting Marc Gasol’s thoughts on the debate of The Dream Team versus today’s USA Team. As you can see from the quote, he wasn’t shy in stating his opinion about just how much better the Dream Team was. There has been a number of different reactions since Kobe Bryant made his infamous claim that his current team could beat the best team ever assembled, from Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley laughing at him, to Scottie Pippen claiming the current team would lose by 25 points. Gasol, being a big man himself, is likely emphasizing the importance of the size difference between the two teams. If this is indeed his mindset, he may feel pretty good about his team’s chances of beating Team USA when they collide for an exhibition game on Tuesday. After struggling to contain Luis Scola against Argentina, Team USA will have its hands full trying to contain the likes of Pau and Marc Gasol, along with Serge Ibaka.
Manu Ginobili’s Tweet of the Day
great post, very informative. I’m wondering why the other experts of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing. I’m sure, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
What Kobe and Co should do is make a poster and hang it in their locker room before their game with Spain (provided Spain makes that far)
Who cares what other people think! I just want the USA to win a gold this year. So many years it was every other countries pros against our kids. Now that the pros are playing all they can talk about is how the USA 92 would beat USA 2012! Worry about your own country! LOL and the funny thing is all the USA top big men aren’t even playing. If Howard and Andrew were playing the would be beating these guys by 10 or more points. In 92 you had the BEST players of 92 at every position playing for the USA except ZEKE not only that those guys we all all time greats.
anyway GO USA
marc says this secretly knowing they would lose by 50 points to the dream team
What people arent talking about is how MUCH BETTER the international teams have gotten. There were no pau or marc gasols back in 92..there were no tony parkers or ginobils.. no ibakas..etc.. the has gotten so much better we take it for granite.. I would like to see how the 92 team could play against the international teams of today..
Yes there were, get out of your bubble!
Marc – On a good day, Spain would’a lost by about 40, err, make it 41. ’92
