Magic's act beats Kobe, LeBron in Olympic video game showdown

9/30/2012

Kobe Bryant launched a thousand barstool debates during the Olympics by saying the 2012 Team USA that included himself and LeBron James would beat the original Dream Team of 1992. Now the verdict is in, as much as it can be: not so much. NBA 2K13, in stores Tuesday and teased in the trailer above, allows gamers to pit the two gold medal squads against each other, and Kotaku's Owen Good monitored a computer-controlled simulation that saw the Dreamers win 133-126. The difference, he noted, was Magic Johnson going off on Chris Paul for 34 points. But, of course, your mileage may vary. That's the whole point of playing the game. [Source]
