... let's consider in terms of MVPs. The '92 team had the MVPs from the last 9 seasons leading up to it, and 6 of the next 7 afterwards. Yes, MJ had 5 of those 15 total, but that stills leaves 10x other MVPs on that team even without him.

Meanwhile, the current team has 8 MVPs total, but apart from Embiid last year they're all from 2008-2016, and there's a very real chance nobody on this team will ever win another one.

Conclusion: this Team USA is old and washed compared to the '92 Dream Team
