WiS must have been reading our forums (or paying attention to the real press and watching the stars take jabs at each other):
they've run the sim (using Emeka Okafor in place of Davis - I used a very solid in his prime Marcus camby...)
we implemented each roster into the WhatIfSports.com basketball simulation engine to decipher the outcome. According to the award-winning apparatus, the '92 club comes out on top 75.7 percent of the time by an average margin of 116 to 107. As envisioned, the Dream Team took advantage of the perceived shortcomings in the 2012 frontcourt, as Barkley, Ewing, Robinson and Malone averaged 46 points and 25 rebounds in the paint. Jordan paced the '92 lineup with 14 points, while Magic handed out 10 dimes. In the losing effort, LeBron led all scorers with 17 points, adding seven boards and six assists for good measures. Bryant chipped in 14 points and Durant poured in 12, but it was for naught.
