Re: NBA 2K12: End the Debate - Which team is the best team of all time?

Probably....as 7th or 8th man off the bench. Starters? No chance!

Goes back to the magic birth date then. So Magic, Bird, MJ, Pippen and co would be studs today? but Oscar cannot even make the team? Its ignorant and arrogant to think literally everything current is better. Why does Mantle still have the furthest home run when today's players are bigger and the bats better? Why do we still compare fastballs to Nolan Ryan who started in the the 1960s?

Again, under this logic the 96 Bulls cannot be the best team ever. Even if you debated MJ somehow does not count because he was so good (the same argument that someone in the 1980s might say about the Big O). That means the rest of the Bulls team would be substandard compared to the players of today. You cannot state that everyone today is so amazing that some of the games greats couldn't even make a team and still declare a team 15 years ago as the best.
