probably the 90's because there is no way Kobe and Iverson could exist on a court together.

90s based on those teams

The 80s team would be better if you moved Magic to point, and put Dr. J in his slot.

Why is iverson the point guard for the 2000's? Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, or Steve Nash should be there.

PG: Paul
SG: Bryant
SF: James
PF: Duncan
C: O'Neal

Would destroy everyone if they are in their primes.

Also, why isn't Kareem the center in the 80's? I'd also like to add that Karl Malone's best years were in the 80's though I guess that doesn't matter here.

PG: Isaiah Thomas
SG: Magic Johnson
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Karl Malone
C: Kareem Abdul Jabaar

Would come in second. The 90's team - would then have a lesser team and come in third. Why?

JORDAN NEVER BEAT BIRD.

Obligatory: The most recent one due to the advent of sport nutrition in 2005.

90s/2000s would be a great matchup, so much talent in the frontcourt

LeBron should be on the 2010s team, as his prime ran from around 2009-2014.

ETA: Would make that team a lot better, considering he'd replace Harden.

I love bird and the 80's guys, but the 90's wins. Forget about jordan, Just the post players alone imo would go beast on everybody.

There is no bigger fan of Dr. J than me, but he was not the player he once was by the 80s. Even in '83 when he won the title, his knees were shot. He would be on the all-70s team.


Oh, and I'd go with the 90s team because that frontcourt would be literally unstoppable.

And Jason Kidd over Allen Iverson. McGrady needs to be on that team too. Not sure who we'd drop for him though.

90's wins but I'd start Gary Peyton at PG

I'd drop AI for T-Mac. D-Wade for Allen is fine, but I'd love to have his shooting alongside Shaq and Duncan in the post.

Start Kidd/Nash and it would be a coin flip vs. the '90s squad.

I'd make some changes to your lineups, but I think the 90's team is probably the best, especially on D.

With that said, prime Bird on the same team as prime Magic would be far and away the most fun duo to watch.
