LeBron James was asked if he agrees with Jerry Colangelo, chairman of USA Basketball, who told FOX Sports Florida last week the 2012 team in London “will be a fair comparison with the Dream Team.”
“I agree,” James said. “They set the standard for USA Basketball in ’92 with all the great players they had. But we have some great ones as well. We have some Hall of Famers, some champions. So it’s going to be a great (team).”
“We can stack up with those guys,” the Miami forward said.
Here is a look at the stars of the 1992 Dream Team who won gold in Barcelona. Also below is a list of what the roster is believed to look like for 2012 in London.
1992 Dream Team: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, John Stockton, Christian Laettner, Clyde Drexler, Chris Mullin
2012 Olympic Team: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, Carmelo An
