Video: Bryant says current U.S. squad can defeat original 'Dream Team'

Written by Jeff Garcia on .

Is there really any doubt the 1992 "Dream Team" was perhaps the greatest collection of basketball talent ever to grace the hardwood?

David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, Clyde Drexler, Chris Mullin and Christian Laettner made up the best team that ever was.

Since then, all other Olympic basketball teams never quite measured up but do not tell that to Kobe Bryant.

Bryant will be suiting up for Team U.S.A. in this summer's Olympic Games in London and when asked if his squad can defeat the '92 team, he said they most certainly can.

Though this '12 team might have a shot at taking it to the '92 squad, you can never dismiss a team with Jordan, Magic and Bird. They would absolutely bring their "A game" despite their age at the time. Check out the video.
