Lol, I should be more clear. Six to midnight is in reference to how excited I am, not the time of the airing.

This is Wed 6/13 @9

Can't wait, hopefully they feature some on the late great Drazen Petrovic as well.

Ha I know what you were saying, I was just asking when it airs. I haven't paid attention to the commercials.

Man, that team was just sick. Best team ever essembled.
Looking back on it now makes me miss the NBA of the late 80s, and 90s.

If the Dream Team was in its prime for every decade, they would never lose a game. Ever. And I really don't think any team would be within 20 points of them.

They wouldn't touch the Dream Team.

They have NO post presence worth a damn compared to the DT.

The bigs from that team (Malone, Robinson, Ewing, Barkley) would eat up this years team, especially sans Dwight.

Not saying they would beat them, but it would certainly be close.

Is Howard healthy? I haven't seen anything. And NO. Andrew Bynum would get dick slapped by every single post player on the DT. Including Laettner.

Laettner was a pick and pop face up jump shooter. Bynum is a pretty good post defender.

You would know best. Bynum got shut down by Kendrick Perkins, no way he is scoring on Robinson and Ewing.

He wouldn't need to score, just rebound and defend.

But seriously, John Stockton averaged 3 ppg in the Olympics. LOL. That team was stacked.

Imagine how much fun Laettner would have dick slapping another man. Homo.

Its funny they chose Laettner over Shaq for the last spot. I'm not old enough to remember if that was a good choice at the time, but Shaq obviously turned out a little better.

And the greatest player to ever touch a basketball average 14 lol. Hard to believe the Chuckster lead the team in scoring.

No doubt. I'd give up my life savings to watch it. But I think 1992 rolls by 20.
