....negative! You throw a bunch of all-stars together up against a talented, smart, athletic teams like the Spurs who have played together for years.....and I'd bet dollars to donuts they'd do more than just hold there own! They same thing that is happening to the Heat.....would happen to the All-Stars! They'd be forced to play defense all game long, they would be somewhat discombobulated on offense, reverting to way too much "one on one" slop, and after falling behind early, they'd all be yapping at each other and wanting to take the game into there own hands!
this spurs have no business being mentioned as one of the all time greats. playing a great basketball as a team only get you so far. 6ft 10 TD and splitter have no defensive ability to stop legit HOF centers in the past.
....if we're going to make comparisons than we have to go back in time when Duncan WAS a young man as well as Manu and Parker! If the current Spurs team played the current Dream Team members......the Dream team wouldn't even finish the 1st quarter alive, LITERALLY! They'd all be dead of heat exhaustion, sidelined by pulled muscles, ripped Achilles tendons and other serious maladies they would need months it not years to recover from!
spurs are playing a great basketball as a team.....but this spurs have no answer for MJ & Pippen. no answer for magic, kareem, & worthy. have no answer for bird, mchale, & parish. etc, etc. i don't even believe this is the best spurs. they aren't.
...news flash, Sherlock! When the other Spurs teams were winning championships they had guys who could stop or at least handle the so-called SuperStars.....and if you're memory is failing you, his name was Bowen! He had great success against Kobe when Kobe was in HIS prime! Again, all things being equal, without age being a factor, this Spurs team could hold it's own against any past champions in recent memory! And, oh, by the way.....this IS the BEST Spurs team out of the whole bunch! Talent, experience, athletic ability, and basketball brains coming out of the ying-yang!
...yeah, you have a short sided, knee jerk reaction, that's for sure!
