If 1980s Lakers/Celtics played today at their age right now?

If they played tonight, 4 on 4 or 5 on 5, at their current age, who would win. I think that would be a good pre game, first team to 15 wins.
Who wins? Magic is in shape but looks more like a PF (even though he did before aswell). Bird's jump shoot would be killer since I believe most players would be unathletic, and Kareem looks like he still got moves.

Dennis Johnson died, so that would make it harder. I don't think Bird would be a tenth the player he used to be with his back problems. It would have to be the Lakers.

Shooting is not like riding a bike - you actually can forget after you learn.

They would be all out of breath after the first minute. Have you seen the size of bird and magic nowadays?

They wouldn't be able to get insurance to cover them playing.

Are you kidding me? Magic is fatter than a house.

Magic was still decent when he was fat and old and out of the game for a while in the mid 90's.

Would you call the game when one of them collapses with a heart attack? This whole idea is just a nightmare.
