"I heard Kobe say we were not athletic," said Jordan "But we were smart. He said we were too old, but I was 29 and in the prime of my career. Pip [Scottie Pippen] was 26 or 27, [Charles] Barkley was 29, Patrick [Ewing] was 29 and Chris Mullin was 29. Almost everybody was still in their twenties. Most of us were in the prime of our careers, at a point where athleticism doesn't really matter. You have to know how to play the game."

I'd like to think that we had 11 Hall of Famers on that team and whenever they get 11 Hall of Famers you call and ask me who had the better Dream Team. Remember now, they learned from us. We didn't learn from them."
Jeeze. And all that without Isiah Thomas.
