After playing '92 Dream Team vs '16 Dream Team

I've made my decision. The '92 dream team still holds the title. They would have put in work on these current Team USA kids.

I cant even use the 92 dream team.

They're missing in my game lol

I didn't think there'd be any question. The 2016 Team is great, but it's also missing a lot of greats (Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Chris Paul, LaMarcus Aldridge). I could understand the ol' Redeem Team debate, but this one seems like no contest in comparison.

There are things that make it not so lopsided though. Specifically when 16 USA has Durant or Melo at the 4 vs the Dream Team's Karl Malone. That was when small ball shines.

I cringed when I saw Durant sizing up Malone at the 3 point line in an iso.

Also Draymond Green is still buns. He was getting murdered in the post by Malone, Barkley, Robinson, and Ewing. He's also not scary enough on the wing for his mismatch with the Dream Team PF's and C's to be any cause for pause.
