If these two teams played each other, what would the 1992 team be favored over these bunch of incompetents?

25?
 
I think 92 won by an average of 43 points...I would assume 25 is close to the number. I'm thinking more like 30...but not a big difference between our numbers Slim.

since these are all NBA players and the game would be NBA like and even All Star ish I think the line would be 13 points or so.

I understand the question, but first of all I don't think we can call '04 a "Dream Team".

'92 was the best team ever assembled. The line would be in the high teens at least.

The first dream team was soundly defeated in an exhibition game ( their very first game together ) against what would have been the U.S. select squad with college players by a margin of about 20 points, the game was not televised and the media quickly stopped discussion about the game in order to keep hyping the team. I cannot remember who exactly was on that team but im pretty sure Bobby Hurley was playing at the point for the college team. Think about that the next time someone says that team was invincible.
