I'm not sure where this goes, but I think NBA dish is the best place. What if professional players had always been allowed to play in the Olympics? Let's put together a few other "dream teams". Here's mine for the 1972 Olympics. There are NBA and ABA stars on this team. I think this team would have made the result a little less controversial. Oscar Robertson Jerry West John Havlicek Gail Goodrich Walt Frazier Elvin Hayes Connie Hawkins Julius Erving Dave Cowens Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Bob Lanier Artis Gilmore You got everything there...scoring, rebounding, playmaking, and a nice mix of youth and experience. With all due respect to the 1992 Dream Team, but I think that would probably be the best international team of all time.
Wilt Chamberlain Julius Erving Micheal Jordan Larry Bird Magic Johnson Pete Maravich Walt Frazier Oscar Robertson George Gervin Bob Cousy Kareem Abdul Jabbar
