    2008.. because of their perimeter players

    But 1996 team will Dominate in post ..Shaq , Hakeem , Barkley ,Karl Malone and Robinson..damn!

    So yea they( both teams ) will have match up problems

    But ill go with 2008 because they have great chemistry and have Kobe ,Lebron , Wade and Melo , CP3 , Deron and Kidd...96's team doesn't have depth at their perimeter so 08's team will pressure the ball

    The 2008 squad would win. This team has the passion and the mental focus to play hard every minute, every play. This is evident in how two guards are always all over the front court defensively. Also there big men never stop fighting for position. They basically wreck havoc for the opposing team. Forcing many turnovers in the process. They are true professionals

  • 1996 Vs 2008

    be a great game my guess score be like 125 for 1996 and 115 for 2008

    the 04' Athens team and the 02' Championships would run 96 and 08 off the court

  • 1 decade ago

    1996 hands down...08' has no post players who could match up to 96' many.

    a tough question. but judging the intensity of the players today compared b4, 08 will triumph. why? just imagine paul, wade, LJ, kobe, and dwight playing together...
