Kobe started some controversy when he said that the current USA Olympic basketball team could’ve beaten the 1992 Dream Team.  First Charles Barkley went in, then Michael Jordan and now Scottie Pippen has something to say about it.
Update:
During ESPN’s telecast of USA versus Dominican Republic Pippen was interviewed during the fourth quarter. During the interview commentators Mark Jones and Fran Fraschilla were talking to Pippen about the 1992 Dream Team and of course Bryant’s comments came up. Pippen declared that the Dream Team would have the edge because they were a better-rounded team that had good big men, small forwards, and guards. Bryant stated that the 2012 features younger stars and that is one of the reasons he feels that they could beat the 1992 team. However, Pippen countered saying that even though the Dream Team had aging superstars they were still the best Olympic basketball team ever assembled.
Pippen not only said that the Dream Team could beat the 2012 team but he said that they would win by “about 25 points.†We will never know if the Dream Team would beat the 2012 team, and vice versa. However, it is fun for current and former players to debate which team is better. The bottom line is that the 2012 needs to win the gold medal before any comparisons can be made between them and the 1992 Dream Team.
I don’t see nothing wrong with Scottie Pippen’s comment. Its the truth though, they were unbeatable, end of discussion. Kobe just upset he apart of history now and his squad is not better
