Choose your team.

In the midst of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, I have been perplexed with a question I had read from a valuable source about who would be the better team.....

The '08 Redeem Team.

or...

The '92 Dream Team.

I know what youre thinking... and YES it was bound to be asked.

Let's start with the OG's.

The 1992 "Dream Team" of the Barcelona Olympics.
"The greatest team ever assembled" is NOT an understatement. Up to this date, there has never been more of a dominant basketball team to grace the courts then the 12 men gathered to play in Barcelona.

Magic. Bird. MJ. Ewing. CB34.

Are you kidding me? With a nicknames like "Magic", "Legend" and "His Airness", who in their right mind would want to compete when you already lost before the first whistle? I mean, these guys basically paved the way basketball is played today - with style and finesse.

Now to the New School.

The 2008 "Redeem Team" of the Beijing Olympics.
Now, we look to the present and you have a team that has more talent Fat Joe has kicks.
"Flash", " Black Mamba" or "King James" aren't names that were just appointed to each of these respective players. Each and every one of these guys on the "Redeem Team" have been on the top ten plays of the day so you know they can put it down.

Obviously, we will never know what the outcome would be, but it definitely looks good on print.
