absolutely, and a much better matchup size wise. Pippen is the most versatile defender the NBA has seen.
11 All Defensive 1st Teams
4 All Defensive 2nd teams
2 All Defensive 3rd teams
plus he was 6'8, 210. He would be giving up some weight, but he was incredibly strong and athletic. Pippen is also the only player to record 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season

IDK how much stock you guys put into these kinds of things but Accuscore simmed 1000 games and the Dream Team won 53% of them http://espn.go.com/blog/s...a-better-than-dream-team
I honestly dont think the conversation should be about which team could beat who cause they both could beat each other on any given day. The conversation should be about which team is better.

No disrespect but at what point do we realize that there isn't a hypothetical machine to settle these debates?

I guess ya'll forgot that same Dream Team lost to the college prep squad they practiced against too...they weren't invincible like some in here would like you to believe.
in a scrimmage. the next game they played, the college squad didnt score a point.
@ Didn't score a point. Please stop exaggerating things to prove a point.

The fact that this cannot be logically resolved is the initial cause for the debate, sir.

Yes exaggerating. Nobody ever claimed that they didn't score a single point.

Yes, people have claimed that. Bird, Barkley & Webber (who was on that college team) have all mentioned it this year alone. It has been well chronicled throughout the years.

I've heard it a bunch over the years and I could be wrong but I feel like I remember it being said in the ESPN Classic documentary about the dream team.
Really? Guess I have to watch it again. My bad if I misremembered

Go back and watch the documentary. They simply said, "I wasn't close at all." Something along those lines. I am pretty sure they didn't go scoreless. That doesn't even sound halfway believable. Come on Reds.

Like I said, it's been well discussed that they didn't score a point. You don't want to believe that? Cool.

I don't think anyone in their right/sane mind would believe it. The Dream Team wouldn't keep a top notch HS team scoreless, why on earth would you think they would keep a stacked college all stars team scoreless? Again, come on now.

"For him to make that comparison, it's one of those things where it creates conversation," Jordan said. "I guess we'll never know. I'd like to think that we had 11 Hall of Famers on that team, and whenever they get 11 Hall of Famers, you call and ask me who had the better Dream Team. Remember now, they learned from us. We didn't learn from them."

That's because the Dream Team learning from the '12 squad would require a time machine.

Just read that statement as a reminder of who the standard is, since that's what the statement is.

Reggie Miller was playing during the golden era of the nba. He dominated, several games, that mattered. Need I bring up 3 point stats?Only an all star 5 time?lol.....there are 15 players in the top 50 list that don't have that. Many appearances.
