Is this year's USA Basketball Olympic team headlined by LeBron James and Stephen Curry good enough to beat the 1992 'Dream Team'? Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright debate.

With Kawhi Leonard reportedly claiming the final roster spot on this summer's USA Basketball Olympic team, its 12-man roster looks to be among the most stacked in the history of the event since the NBA finally permitted players to participate, setting up the iconic 1992 'Dream Team.' The legendary lineup of names set to head to Paris this summer includes both familiar veteran superstars and exciting up-and-comers.

Magic Johnson had already announced his second retirement. Christian Laettner was not in the NBA yet. Chris Mullin was fine.
