For the record, I hate these things

Who is going to guard Moses Malone and Kevin McHale down low? People are saying the 90s squad is nice, which it is. Obviously it has Jordan, among others. But look at the matchups. Is Karl Malone going to check Kevin McHale? That would be a long night for Karl, if he even makes it into the third quarter. It would be even worse for Charles.

10s might end up losing to the 60s team. They would have to put bron on the 10 team for them to even have a chance

Shaq/Duncan is the best frontcourt on there, easily the most balanced in offense/defense and the fact that Duncan could hit the 14-18 footer. Then you have the perimeter defense with LeBron and Kobe, which is by far the best. With the 3 point line present every other team (pre-00s) has only 1 respectable 3 point shooter while AI, Kobe and Bron could space the floor.

:wtf:

10s wins that, just look at that matchups, Bill Russell wasn't much of an offensive player and having him guard someone like KD; a player type that simply did not exist during his day would be a massacre. Wilt & Russell would be pulled out onto the perimeter, and Russell not being good enough offensively to make KD pay on the other end is where the problem comes in.

Wilt will get his, but they can zone up and front him, Baylor wasn't an outside threat, they'd really only have to worry about West's shooting and the interior would be a mess with terrible spacing. KD setting a screen for Curry out by the 3 line wouldn't even be fair, you go under it's splash, you hedge on Curry leaving KD and it's splash, you go over and Curry can turn the corner :scust:

It all depends on what rules/scoring system its played under. The 2000s have the best team though. A prime Shaq, Duncan, LeBron and Kobe. :damn:

With the 3 line & modern rules -

00's
90s
80s
10s
70s
60s
I agree with that, except I'm having a hard time deciding between the 10s and 80s. I'd probably give the 80s a slight edge, yet in the next five years I will probably change my mind.

Kidd should be on the team with Shaq/Dubcan/Lebron/Kobe

70's got this...even with today's rules. Pistol Pete will be knocking down shots all over the place.

Kareem the GOAT with DR. J and Walt Frazier? And Elvin Hayes...the perfect compliment. They all compliment each other.
