Draft of 2012 Team USA/ Dream Team

This morning on the U92 Sports Desk, Ben Rainwater and I drafted 10 players each from the 1992 Dream Team and the 2012 Team USA. The players are listed in the order they were drafted. I had the first pick:

Grant's Team                                                                                     Ben's Team  

1. Michael Jordan                                                                            1. Lebron James
2. Kevin Durant                                                                               2. David Robinson
3. Patrick Ewing                                                                              3. Charles Barkley
4. Kobe Bryant                                                                               4. Larry Bird
5. Karl Malone                                                                                5. Magic Johnson
6. Deron Williams                                                                            6. Chris Paul
7. Carmelo Anthony                                                                        7. Scottie Pippen
8. Tyson Chandler                                                                           8. Kevin Love
9. Russell Westbrook                                                                      9. James Harden
10. Anthony Davis                                                                            10. Clyde Drexler

Team Grant Starters: Deron Williams, Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing

Team Ben Starters: Magic Johnson, James Harden, Lebron James, Larry Bird, David Robinson

I think it's funny that I ended up with seven players from the current Team USA. I considered drafting John Stockton, but just don't think he belongs in this game of speed and size. He was one of the greatest of all time at the point guard position, but I don't see him matching up with Magic or Chris Paul. I do find it interesting that we each start three players from the 1992 team, and two from the 2012 team.
