Put George on LeBron, that is George before his broken leg and he was an athetic freak and was already an amazing defender. If he is able to get by George he still has to deal with Ewing who can help because Mutombo is not a major offensive threat. I think Drexler would also be a great defender to put on LeBron. Also I think Drexler, George, Dirk, and Ewing provide better offense than Hornacek, Richmond, LeBron, and Lewis. Also Team A has to decide whether to put LeBron on Drexler or George and also it would be tough to guard the combo of Dirk and Ewing. Also Ewing can drag Mutombo away from the basket.

LeBron's supporting cast is not much better than 2011 Heat with Wade and Bosh. Dirk's team has huge upgrade in every other positions compared to his 11 team

B, not even close...
Dirk vs Rashard Lewis
Drexler vs Mitch Richmond
Ewing vs Mutombo
Paul George and Lebron played pretty close to even in 2013/2014. Dirk beat lebron in 11. Kawhi, who wasn’t better than PG13 in 2014, beat Lbj in 2014 with a far lesser team difference than this.
team B in this instance is far better in every aspect...the poll voting is a joke. Who voted A

Well Team B got swept 4 votes to 0 against Team A for what it’s worth.

You gotta know the judges when making teams.

If you don’t look closely, and just skim the names, everyone’s first instinct will be to go with lebron. No individual on the other team has that same pull
There was a time when just having MJ +defense+ shooting was a free win... regardless of overall talent differences - I’m sure you remember

I stopped playing these games because of nonsense like this. It's either favoritism or people don't think critically and just go with their gut.
