1st ever LIVE Aussie Basketball Podcast FRIDAY 8.00pm

On the latest episode of the “Hyping the Hoopla” podcast Matt Smith and Dan Boyce got heated when discussing who was better Team USA 2012 or the Original “Dream Team”. 

Dan Boyce put the challenge down “I think the Australian online basketball community agrees with me that this years team would beat the 1992 team”. This topic has created huge debate across the internet all week.

Listen to an excerpt of the full podcast (available on iTunes) at the bottom of this page

Stephen Hoare (465 NBL Game Veteran) – “Lebron’s combo of athleticism, size, strength skill and IQ is GOAT. Prefer 92 all around package though”

Cam Tragardh (Cairns Taipans) –  “In a game of 1 on 1 LBJ destroys MJ & anyone else in history! “

Daryl Corletto (New Zealand Breakers) – “Bottom line is MJ can guard Lebron but LBJ can’t stop Jordan”

Brad Hill (Cairns Taipans) – “I dont get how USA’s best team 20 years ago could beat their best team now. Goes against the evolution of man”

Scott Brandis (ANZ Ballers) – “You know what’s lost in this argument is Dream Won by so much because world bball was crap then. They’re the reason it changed”

Johnny White (Our Time Entertainment) –  “This USA team is not a dream team and THEY’RE DREAMING!”
