Playing in what era?

I have this 2020s team beating the 1990s team in any era.

Are those allowed on here?

Swap out David Robinson for Hakeem or Shaq at the 5.
Swap out Clyde Drexler for Jordan at the 2.
Swap out Scottie Pippen for Penny Hardaway at the 3.

So it's Stockton/Jordan/Hardaway/Malone/Hakeem.

Now I like the 90s team due to superior athleticism and defense at most positions.

Mostly on Tuesdays, but occasionally we make an exception.

Era question has to be answered, but also the time machine question should be answered. Are the 2020 players born earlier with less knowledge and history of the game in their minds? Or so the 90s players jump forward to 2020s and also acquire the knowledge and history of their new contemporaries?

Also good questions.

Unforgiving rims, crap shoes, cross-country buses... I dig it.
