Re: Team A or B?
With todays rules I take Team B. Way more pace and space for that team to knock down shots and better passing.

Re: Team A or B?
Team A just has way more talent, but terrible position play (wtf?).
Put Pippen at SF, Garnett at PF, and put Dumars at PG (better than the greek freak).
Wade/Pippen/Garnett/Wilt peak >>>> Gilmore/Paul Pierce/Durant/Bird.
Curry isn't enough to tip the balance.

Even with Todays rules who on team B is gaurding Kareem or Wilt?
not to mention the GOAT type defense you have on team A. Pippen, Garnett, Duncan, Kareem, Wilt?

Kareem has to start... your not sitting arguably the GOAT at his peak.

I just want to see how many people take Team B. It has great offense and great chemistry, they would play well together. I think Team A wins though.

If I replace Parish with Shaq then a lot of people would vote for Team B.

Team B.
Team A's shooting/spacing just isn't good enough.

Team B is real smooth, Curry, Pierce, Bird, Durant, Nash, Miller, and Hill, yikes. The only problem might be is if Gilmore, Parish, Griffin, and Bird can handle Team A down low, however they will have help from Durant and Hill.
It would be an interesting game. Team B would really have to hold their own though physically, grab boards, and play good post defense.

Team A doesnt have size. they would get destroyed inside...
while Team A has more shooting, teamB has the athletes to defend that shooting and spacing

Nobody can defend that team. Too much shooting/scoring/playmaking talent.
The size difference is only a concern for me at the 4. And I think Bird would do ok.

Re: Team A or B?
Tied poll, I can see a case for either team. I don't think Team A's defense is stopping Team B's offense even though Team A's defense is amazing and Team B's defense is not stopping Team A's offense either. Team A is going to attack the paint and have an edge in the rebounding department. I think that makes them better. So if I had to put money on it I would put it on them. Curry is going to have to guard Wade. Miller is going to have to guard Antetokounmpo.

Gilmore will be as fine against Wilt or Kareem as anyone could be; he is one of the few center with both the length, strength, and athleticism to defend them man up (Shaq, Thurmond, Russell, Hakeem, DRob . . . ). Bird gets abused by either Duncan or Garnett (on the other end, he gets a lot of it back), Curry too, but with that overcrowded middle, it doesn't matter as much. While team A has an overwhelming talent advantage; I'd favor team B in today's league assuming perfect health (big drop off in team B front line reserves) and those starters getting the clear majority of minutes for both sides.
