Barkley sez that this years team only has three guys who could make that team. You think of all the 6' 9" or so bruisers in '92, Rodman, Thorpe, Willis, not to mention Malone and Barkely, there are NONE of those guys to beat up on a LaBron. He, basically, has that physical size to himself in today's NBA. That would not have been the case 20 years ago.
And where would Kobe be among Jordan, Pippen, Magic? Not number one.
Durrant would be competing with Worthy and Clyde and a bunch others to be that 3, that swing man.
At best, those three would make the team and not a one is a sure fire starter.
Good lord. I don't mind a little competitive arrogance but, let's not be simply stupid about it.
