Best College Team Ever Beating the Worst NBA Squad?

So my friends and I have been having the most intense arguement ever lately about whether or not the KU national championship basketball team could actually beat the worst NBA team in the league. Now I am from Kansas, and since KU basketball is pretty much all we have here, every KU fan is completely irrational about their team, saying they are the greatest on the planet.

In my opinion, if the KU national championship team (Darrell Arthur, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Sherron Collins, etc.) were to play even the worst NBA team in the league, I know the NBA team would win by 40 at least.

Yes, KU did have a great team that year, the best in the nation, but they would never stand a chance against an NBA team. If you think about it, the Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the worst teams in the league, with Kevin Durant, would drop 50 on the best college team alone. In the 2007 Big 12 championship game, he had almost half of Texas' points against KU (37 of 84). In my opinion, the NBA is far too experienced, physical, stronger, faster and would basically completely over match any college team. These guys are professionals for a reason, they practice non-stop for a living, and are the best players in the world.

So what do you think? If the best college team were to play the worst NBA team on their own court, with regulations favoring them, would they even stand a chance against an NBA team, or would they get completely dominated?

I would put the 1996 UK team against the worst NBA team and like my chances!

I think they (UK) would win 2-4 times out of 10 tries.

Maybe 2 times out of 100.

The original Dream Team lost their first practice srimmage against a group of college players. So anything's possible on one night. But it'd be like lightning in a bottle.

in a game like basketball I think this is realistic, a game like football and the college team would get blown out.

The pro team would win. The bench players is where the teams start to seperate. Players 6-12 on a pro team are far better then bench players 6-12 on a college team.

In preparation for the 1984 olympics, Bobby Knight set up a few exhibition games against a group of NBA All-Stars. I remeber watching these as a kid. CBS televised the games. Here is one of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmp14KAeF1E

None of you guys sound convincing. Let's say the best college team played in an NBA season. Would they go 0-82 or win a few games? What do you think?
