@MagicJohnson Our '92 team had too many winners, were too smart & too competitive to lose to Kobe & the 2012 team. I am excited to watch them though. -- nm - budice Jul 13, 06:43 2
- The passing & defense on the 92 would just be too much. - Strongbad Jul 13, 06:49 1
  - Yup. The argument Kobe made about them being old is wrong as well. Magic wasn't in good shape and Bird was broken down but the rest of the team - Krusty Jul 13, 06:53

        but how do you know who knew? ask them if they knew? admins in old main likely heard rumors in hallways. maybe saw emails. are they gone? - amanda Jul 13, 06:39
        
        yeah, that's never going to happen. - znufrii Jul 13, 06:28 4
