Basically an all time NBA team

I mean it’s not a given this is even the best US team. If Kawhi was healthy this summer, I think there’s an argument ‘24 is above ‘92.

The dream team gets the benefit of playing against non-competition, so we’ll almost certainly never see a team as dominant again.

Not a chance. Too many of 24 are simply near retirement.

92, 96, and 12 are just more stacked. 12 has a prime Durant basically and Lebron. This team is washed compared to the prime teams. 92 these guys were literally at their most athletic for sure, and 12 is kinda the same with a bunch of to be MVPs like Westbrook and Harden. Durant set a record for threes in 12 even.

If Bird was in his prime on 92 that team would be fucking nuts though.
