This year's team wouldn't win because they can't match the size of the dream team. But then again this years team won by drilling 3's and there is no way i think Magic & Bird at their stage and even Pippen & Jordan can prevent Durant, Kobe, Melo, Lebron, Deron, Iggy, etc. from shooting lights out the way they did so they could stay in it that way. If they had Wade, Bosh & Dwight i'd go with the current NBA players hands down. A lot of those Dream Team players were no longer in the prime of their careers.

Excuse me Jordan, Pippen, Barkely, Robinson, Stockton, Malone, Ewing, Mullin, and Drexler sir were not pass their primes by far sir.
If you think that you could beat that team with 3's as your primary weapon you are sadly mistaken.
12' nor 08' could matchup with the overall roster of that Dream Team.
Howard could not defend Robinson or Ewing in the block. He easily would have fouled out trying to stop them. Bosh isn't physical enough to out rebound or defend Malone or Barkley. Kobe, Lebron, Iggy, Melo, or Durant. Could defend any of the names mentioned above.
Also Bird could still shoot and Magic at 6'9' is a problem for any other the guards that those teams had.
5 can only be on the court and the the dream teams before were nowhere as deep as 92'.
Imagine Robinson and Malone on the court at the same time or Ewing and Barkley.
The 92' team just had a lot of Versatility, Athleticism, Strength, better Defense by far, and Offensively.

Joking right? Seriously.

Since we have the Olympics mode, do we get to see Arvydas Sabonis (when he was before age 30), Dražen Petrović (his unlimited range), Toni Kukoc, and Oscar Schmidt?!

btw, 2k Sports better put the right birthdate for the players.. (especially on the classic teams

Oympics mode? There is only rumours about it. One thing that made it less likely is that there was no achievements about it in the 2K13's achievements list.

the 92 team would win on smarts and off-ball play alone. hell, even if the 2012 team DID beat 'em with three pointers... pff - that's not basketball.

the potential of today's players are just as high as players from back in the day. BUT, due to today's game and rules, their full potential isn't brought out. if i'm wrong about that then i guess players were just better at fundamentals back then.

anyway, sorry to get sort of off topic but i had to respond.

yay pipp.

Ouch man. Been confirmed by whom? If true then that hurts

On PC and 360 for sure it will be.

I just don't understand why this is such a problem for 2k? They've already been given licence for Barkley, KJ, Majerle, Ainge, Chambers and Ceballos - what's the deal in recreating the America West Arena and letting us have at the 93 Bulls with the Suns??! All we'd need would be Miller, Johnson, West & Dumas and we'd be good to go.

Same as the Pacers. We've already got Jalen Rose, Mark Jackson and Mullin. Throw in Reggie, the Davis boys, McKey, Smits & Best and we've got another wicked legends squad.

Anyhow - So stoked that Pip has signed. Just need full conformation of legends/classic team intergration and then i'm set to pre-order.
