I have no idea who these people are.

Previous thread. Voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested, although I admit that being old enough to have seen many of these players in their heyday is biasing me.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. Page quote should probably go, though.

Pull. I was against it when it was suggested in the previous thread.

Speaking as someone who has never seen a bit of basketball in their life... Pull.

Could someone explain where "dream" comes in if you don't know basketball or the players? I see "team" but not "dream".

Currently the consensus is Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Something that might help with context is to replace that line about "one of the greatest teams" with a brief summary of some of their accomplishments...the example notes that 11 of them are now NBA Hall-of-Famers, so that plus number of total championships, number of league MVP awards, something like that would help. The potholes in their names need to go.

No need for a crowner since the consensus is to keep the current.

Currently 6 keeps to 3 Pull, assuming Brainulator 9 counts as a pull (based on his question in post 10).

This is in the "weakest possible Keep Until Better Image Suggested" category for me. I wonder if this cover might be more illustrative, as it at least outright calls them a "dream team" for the Olympics and shows the players individually playing basketball (implying they're good).

[up] Better than the current, at least.

I'm a touch torn on the new suggestion, since it doesn't show a few players from the Dream Team. (Clyde Drexler, John Stockton, the coach Chuck Daly, and Christian Laettner.) There's a book by Chuck Daly that does have all of the players on the cover, but that cover is basically just the current suggestion with a bit more text.

On a side note, the caption probably should have most of its potholes removed.

[up] Care to show us? If so, I'll wait before saying yes to the current suggestion.

[up]I think that's this book, but I can't find a hi-res version of the cover currently. Personally, I don't think people unfamiliar with the Dream Team or basketball in general (which would be many tropers, me included) would mind that a few of them are missing.
