Not so fast...For 80's:Barkley>KempDavid Robinson>Ewing, David Robinson>Zo, Ewing>ZoI'd put Pippen over GrantPossibly Drexler over Rice, I'm undecided90'sChris Webber>Ben Wallace, for 2000'sJ-Kidd needs to play on the 90's teamBut I'd pick the 90's. MJ and Olajuwon on the same team will dominate. Even over Shaq and Kobe. Stockton is better than Nash, KG beats Hill, and Duncan beats Malone, but Olajuwon is to dangerous to mess with. The 90's team also has consistant shooters (Reggie, Rice)
I would put Robinson over Zo for the 90s, Id probably also put Barkley over Kemp. both players were MVPs in the 90s.the 90s team would win hands down, almost everyone on the 90s team plays both offense and defense, something the current team doesn't have.

Here is how I look at itG- Kidd(2002)/Nash(2006)/AI(2006) > Stockton('90/91)/GP(mid-'90's)/JKidd('99): Extremely hard decision. But I feel Kidd > GP, Stock > Nash, and then comes the X-Factor...AI. One of the most incredible scorers of all timeSG- Kobe Bryant(2006)/Dwyane Wade(2006)/Tracy McGrady(2003) > Michael Jordan('90)/Reggie Miller('90)/Penny Hardaway(1996): Generally the cardinal rule is never go against MJ, but to me T-Mac/Wade totally overwhelm Reggie and Penny, and Kobe of 2006 isn't much far behind of MJ 1990.SF- LeBron James(2006)/Kevin Garnett(2004) > Scottie Pippen('92)/Grant Hill('98): I feel both KG of 2004 and Bron of 2006 are better than any year Pip or Hill had.PF- Duncan(2002)/Dirk Nowitzki(2006)/Amare Stoudemire(2005) = Karl Malone('90)/Shawn Kemp('96)/Charles Barkley('91): Another extremely tough decision that I wasn't sure about. I'd take Duncan over Malone, and both Nowitzki/Amare over Kemp. Barkley was incredible in his prime, so it makes it really tough. If anything, I'd give edge to the '00's, but not 100% sure.C- Hakeem Olajuwon('94)/Shaquille O'Neal('94) > Shaquille O'Neal(2000/2001)/Yao Ming(2006): Easy decision, despite Shaq of 2000/2001 being the best center since Wilt. This is the category where in a few years, when Yao gets better, it might be a lot tougher.So yeah, give me the 2000's team over the '90's team.
