Why the best French basketball players never join the French National Basketball Team?

If the 1988 USA Basketball team had NBA players, who would be on that dream team that year?

  • Seeing how the original Dream Team was from 1992, what would have happened if the dream team was formed in 1998. What if the 1988 USA Olympic basketball team had NBA players, who would be on the team? I say Jordan, Bird, Magic, K.Malone, Stockton, Drexler, and Barkley would still be in a 1988 Dream Team. and these players wouldn't be in it just yet: Pippen, Chris Mullin, Laetner, D.Robinson, and Ewing,

  • Answer:

    my 12 would have been pg magic,isiah,stockton sg jordan,drexler sf bird,dominique,alex english pf barkley, kevin mchale c moses malone, pat ewing,(he was a 3 year vet who was an allstar and had olympic experience.) and if they had gone with the 1 college player i would have put on david robinson and left off stockton.

PG -- Magic Johnson/Isiah Thomas/John Stockton SG -- Michael Jordan/Clyde Drexler/Joe Dumars SF -- Larry Bird/Dominique Wilkins/Alex English (The 80s All-Time Leading Scorer) PF -- Kevin McHale/Karl Malone/Charles Barkley C -- Patrick Ewing/Moses Malone (was still putting up 20ppg and 12rpg in 88)/Brad Daugherty (young, very skilled and very healthy at this time) Others of note: Mark Price, Fat Lever, Mark Aguirre, Buck Williams, Robert Parrish, James Worthy and more.. *Hakeem (at that time - Akeem) was not yet a naturalized US citizen -- therefore he wouldn't be eligible to play on the team.

PG- Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, John Stockton SG- Michael Jordan, Joe Dumar SF- Larry Bird, James Worthy PF- Kevin McHale, Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman C- Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing I included players like Dumar and Rodman who could do other roles as well.

Magic, Bird and Jordan are a given. Malone, Barkley, Dominique Wilkins for sure. James Worthy probably, Isaiah Thomas, too. Ewing was already an All-Star by 1988. In 1988, Joe Dumars was one of the best SG in the league. Chris Mullen made his first All-Star team a year later. Laettner, though? He NEVER would have been on a USA basketball dream team, so not sure why he's even listed.
