this has to be the greatest team assembled in any sport ever.

[talisayon23]

the greatest team ever assembled except for Christian Laetnerr.i can't understand why they include a college player out there!!my choice could've been another point guard in Isiah Thomas or Tim Hardaway or if not Dominique Wilkins.

THIS was the REAL dream team. The youngins nowadays have no idea how simplicity would win games. Stockton was not a fancy player but look at his assist rate throughout his career and the sheer accuracy. Jordan shouldn't need an introduction, and neither should Bird, Johnson nor Drexler. Each one of those players could lead just about any team in the NBA today to be playoff contenders.

@willsmackyoudown Nope. Wilkins is American. Born in Paris to a father serving in the US Air Force at the time of birth, therefore a US citizen. You could make the argument that Kobe is Italian since he lived a good portion of his youth in Italy and speaks Italian fluently....

International Players are players who play, Internationally, for the country they call their true home. Example: P. Gasol is a Spaniard and plays for Spain in International paly. Not necesarily about place of birth.

@willsmackyoudown Ewing played for Georgetown and has lived in the US since he was a kid. Wilkins father was stationed in Paris while serving in the US Air Force, he just happened to be born there. Hes an American. Hakeem is a true African, but he repped the US and pretty sure he played College ball here. General consensus is an international player is someone who represents their home country in International play ie: Petrovic, Gasol, Kukoc, etc. Youre right about Petrovic in the Hall though.

@talisayon23

Dominique was french

[willsmackyoudown]

@nutsack666

Actually Petrovic is in the HOF, as well as Hakeem. Dominique (France) and Patrick Ewing (Jamaica) are also in the HOF. I agree basketball has become more populized. However, the same top foreign players of the 90' /80's(all of the above) would give Nash and Norwitzki a run for their money. This dream team is sick anyway you look at it: Leadership, flexibility, chemistry, super athletic, fundamentally sound. Most important they have some of the best big men in history.
