Dream Team

We all got a great laugh last week when Kobe Bryant was asked how this year's 2012 USA Olympic basketball team would fare against 1992's Dream Team -- you know, the team with Bird, Magic, and Jordan. Kobe responded that 2012 would kill 1992.

Obviously a delusional comment. On the other hand, what's he going to do, say his team would lose? The fact is, 2012's team wouldn't even beat 1992's bench players (one must wonder how it's possible that the second team in '92 consisted of Hall of Famers Stockton, Malone, Robinson, Drexler, and Mullin?).

While it's a fun discussion, whatever happened to amateurs playing in the Olympics? And I wonder if Kobe will be staying in the Olympic Village? Either way, we're all looking forward to the 2012 Games!
