see which era would win if they played each other. The games were
simulated through whatifsports.com.

Game 1 104-90 (90-Present Wins) Kevin Garnett 18 Points 14 Rebounds 3 Blocks
Game 2 88-98 (50-60's Wins) Wilt Chamberlain 18 Points 14 Rebounds 4 Blocks

Game 6 105-90 (90-Present Wins) Michael Jordan 23 Points 4 Steals
The 90-Present Team are the champions!
In
my opinion I think the 90-Present is actually the best team. They have
great defense with Garnett, Payton and Jordan. LeBron and Shaq can
score. They also have good bench scoring with Kobe, Malone, and Grant
Hill. Hakeem and David are great defensive centers who can also rebound
and Kidd can play good defense off the bench. I think the 50-60's team
and 70-80's team did not have a defense that could beat the 90-Present
team.
