Agreed. KD and/or Curry might do some bullshit for a game or 2. But not for a whole series. I say redeem team.

It’s not a wild thing to say tbh. Top to bottom the roster difference is glaring. Avengers had what, 40 yr old Lebron? The oldest guy on the Redeem Team was Kidd at 36 I believe.

Prime Kobe Lebron Wade etc would be too much for them

Howard is a dumbass if he thinks he can beat Doctor Strange and co in a 7 game series

Yep

ik they got gold but 2024 team usa looked sloppy as hell

Prime:
– Chris Paul
– Dwyane Wade
– Kobe Bryant
– LeBron James
– Dwight Howard
Is a disgusting defensive lineup.

I’m picking prime Dwight over Embiid, AD , Bam under fiba setting

He’s right

I miss full court trap and diamond press Team USA

I assumed by the title it was just Dwight saying theyd win because he was on the team, i absolutely forgot how good that 08 roster was

I agree.

Just look at their respective ages:
Kobe: 29, 2008 mvp
Lebron: 23, all nba first team, scoring champ
Dwight: 22 all nba first team, won dpoy next season
DWade: 26, won scoring cham next season.
Chris paul: 23, all nba 1st team, mvp runner up.
This closing lineup is better than 2024 IMO.
Size issue could be solved by replacing Dwade or CP for Melo or bosh
20BeersDeep
it’s not even close. 08 wins in 4 or 5 games. kd and steph have to go for 6 3s each to have a chance
ChiefRicimer
I don’t think he’s wrong. 2024 is a bit deeper overall but the 2008 starting 5 was all elite two way players at the peak of their game.
The grandpa avengers are not stopping young Lebron, Prime Kobe and Flash.

My dumbass was like no way Dwight’s beating Captain America

Im probably taking the 08 team as well. It would be a fun hypothetical series though.

08 won’t know what to do with curry. Curry may average 40 against them in a series. 2024 is incredibly deep as well
anthegoat
lol 2008 easily, prime Kobe wade lebron melo and cp3 is disgusting with Howard and bosh.
WobbleKun
not enough people mentioning curry here. if he’s not in a slump, his fuckery creates too much chaos making everything harder to defend. half those offensive ’08 guys are going to be more tired chasing this rascal around.

Only in basketball does the game go backwards and tactics go backwards.
Yeah Dwight Wade and Kobe are definitely gonna space the floor against Lebron and AD or Embiid packing the paint.
Better team fit is 2024 by a mile.

I think he meant literally beat them off- him by himself
surprisebtsx
Wow how surprising that a player think the older generation would beat the new…

I don’t really see the point of these hypotheticals that we will never know the answer to.
Who would win a game of one-on-one between Aristotle and James Garfield?
RealCheyemos
2008 is absolutely cooking 2024, I don’t care what anybody says – the defensive prowess alone gets you the gold medal.

this is not controversial at all lol, maybe if everyone on the 2024 avengers was in their prime
