Michael Jordan Laughs At Kobe Bryant For Saying 2012 Olympic Team could beat 1992 Dream Team
Kobe Bryant did an interview a couple days ago and said that he thought this year’s Olympic basketball team could beat the 1992 Dream Team. Charles Barkley responded yesterday by saying that there was no way in hell that the 2012 squad could beat the 1992 team. Then, AccuScore did a bunch of computer simulations to determine that, if the two teams played, the Dream Team would win about 53 percent of the time. And, now, Michael Jordan has officially spoken and, of course, he says that there’s “no comparison” between the Dream Team and this year’s team.
“I absolutely laughed,” he said earlier today when asked about Kobe’s comments prior to a celebrity golf tournament in Charlotte. He added that Kobe’s prediction “is not one of the smarter things he ever could have done.”

Michael Jordan fined $100k for “Lockout” comments
NEW YORK (AP) – Michael Jordan has been fined by the NBA for making comments about the league’s ongoing collective bargaining process.
NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the penalty for the Charlotte Bobcats owner on Monday, but said the league doesn’t comment on the total. ESPN.com reported the fine was $100,000.
In an interview last month with Australia’s Herald Sun, Jordan said the NBA’s current model was “broken” and called for revenue sharing for small market teams such as his Bobcats and the Milwaukee Bucks, whom Australian Andrew Bogut plays for. The Hall of Famer added that he knows “owners are not going to move off what we feel is very necessary for us to get a deal in place where we can coexist as partners.”
The NBA prohibits owners from speaking publicly about the labor situation.
