Cause if they lose just 1 to THEM, then no doubt they losing 2-3 against a group of elite pros. I don't ever remember Ewing being a 1 on 1 defensive beast lol, so again Shaq's force alone would be to much for Ewing. I will agree that Ewing's best chance is that mid-range jumper. As far as Admiral and Dwight yea I can see Admiral totally getting that match-up but still I just easily can nullify the Admiral with Duncan easy. I still don't see what you are seeing and obviously you don't see what I am seeing. It's just unfortunate it is something that could never be settled. @CG you basically supporting my point to a degree if you bring out they got beat by a college select team.

This dream team did lose to the College Select team in a scrimmage (I noticed no one pointed that out) so it's possible for them to have mental lapses during the game and give up a win. Your argument about Ewing and Shaq is way off. That version of Ewing was in his prime, hitting jumpers and still a force down low at about 280lbs or so while still being athletic. Shaq is just big now. Admiral IS Dwight, but with a much more skill. So Dwight would have a terrible time trying to stop him. Not to mention, with Kobe being guarded by Jordan, and Melo D'd up by Pippen, I don't see Dwight getting the ball much unless it’s a offensive rebound (which ain't happening against DT1). @45

Duncan is to skilled for the Admiral overall. And Ewing can't do anything with Shaq's force. So I am saying even today I might call it even but I wouldn't say Ewing and the Admiral would own them.

I wonder what either one of them would say about it now or do they even care? @chicagorilla I hear you playboi but at the same time that is your opinion that those things would happen. Personally I think that team could win against the Dream Team in a series and I feel Roy would do enough to be considered ok against Pippen. Considering your moniker you might be a lil biased though. As great as they were many still had individual flaws in their game, especially the bigs. So no I don't think it's far fetched that a group gathered together from today's roster could give them a go. Course that is my opinion lol. @ Alex that is good stuff and remember a lot of that happening during the Jordan and Zeke days.
