I would have picked Shaq and I hated Laettner at the time, but it was hard to
argue with that choice based on his career to that point.

Anybody voting for Chris Mullin doesn't know that era of basketball.

Nor remember he was the second or third best performer

Wow, took a quick look at his stats. He dominated in the early 90s. (link)

So dumb they put laettner on the team and not Shaq

I agree. Shaq could have actually played at a high enough level to matter.

Laettner really did earn it though based on his college career. Looking back

No it’s not. The situations are similar. Laettner was rewarded

people forget just how dominant Laettner was in 92. he did everything; Wooden award, NCAA tourney champ & MVP, etc.

Probably not popular, but Magic had retired due to HIV and knee problems.

Easy answer here is Jordan. It was an either or situation here. So Thomas means

Drexler was the last selection. In the lens of 1992, he probably gets left off.

Bird and Magic were both WAY past their primes. Magic was literally retired.

Magic may have been retired, but he was still a top five player at the time.

I think they got it right. Thomas didnt deserve to be on the team.

The uproar is because the media doesn't look to exclude anyone in the argument.
