Game 2: ALL-80s vs ALL-2000s?

Game 2: ALL-80s vs ALL-2000s?

If you missed my first question — I'm doing a "round-robin" of generations. (incl 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s). In Game 1 – the 90s easily defeated the 70s based on your votes. I was going to include the 50s to make it even but I understand most people aren't familiar with players of the 50s, so it begins with the 60s.

TEAM ALL-80's

Point Guard: Magic Johnson, L.A. Lakers
Stats (80’s only): 19.9 PPG, 11.7 APG, 7.3 RPG, 2.0 SPG, 8x NBA All-Star, 3x NBA MVP, 4x NBA Champion*

Shooting Guard: Julius Erving, Philadelphia 76ers
Stats ('80s only): 21.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.7 SPG, 1.6 BPG, 7x NBA All-Star, 1980-81 NBA MVP, 1982-83 NBA Champion

——————-

ALL-2000s (Remember, 2000s as a total, years do matter.)

Point Guard: Steve Nash, Dallas Mavericks/Phoenix Suns

Power Forward: Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
Stats (2000-‘08): 21.5 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 3.2 APG, 2.4 BPG, eight-time NBA All-Star, two-time NBA MVP, three-time NBA Champion (Duncan's 1st title was in the 90s.)

(Note: I'm sure I'll get other suggestions; but this is my team, field your team against the 80s if you'd like..)

Star if you enjoy this idea so far..

Up next: 60s vs 90s meets the winner of this matchup. Suggestions for future games welcomed!

    Thanks god.Finally you asked the questionCan i use Jason Kidd,i think he's better then NashAnywayC:Shaq>MalonePF:Tim Duncan>Kevin McHaleSF:LeBron James<Larry BirdSG:Kobe Bryant>Dr JPG:Steve Nash<Magic JohnsonI think that the 2000's era would beat the 90's very close since they have unstopable Shaq and Duncan who are here mentioned in their pirmes.Very easy matcj up for the Center and Power Forward.Magic would beat Nash very easy.Dr J would fight hard but i have feelings that Kobe is better then Dr J.LeBron vs Bird.Toughest macth up so far.I think that LeBron will be the best SF of all time but for now Larry is better.Bird is arguably the best Forward(he could play both PF and SF)It's really tie here for this match up.00's would win because of match ups bewteen the centers and power forwards————————————–…Edit:I think Kidd is a better PG then Nash because of his all around game and defense.Darko #1 Blazers fan?(MJ=Best)

    I love this tournamentIm going with the 2000s team here. Lebron and Kobe together is too much firepower with Shaq in his prime downlow Source(s): KONJ

    2000 iveson

  4. taylor swift Says:

    Allen Iverson should be the PG for all 2000's.

  5. selena gomez Says:

    ya, the 2000's would win. The game is played much differently now than in the 80's though.

  6. taylor lautner Says:

    2000's are too good.

  7. Vanessa Hudgens Says:

    2000's kobe and shaq just too much talent 2000 FTW

  8. selena gomez Says:

    The 2000's Reasons1-No Jordan in 80's2-Kobe And Shaq Duo was Amazing and one of the best duos all time3-Erving is A Bad SG he is Only A REAL SF4-Tim Duncan Would Own McHale5-Individual Comparison Shaq>>Moses MaloneDuncan>>>McHaleLEBron<Bird (But Bird wont be able to guard Lebron)Kobe>>Erving (With Erving as SG ,Erving wont paly 50% as good as he is a SF)Nash<Magic

  9. taylor lautner Says:

    This is very tough. You put ten great players against each other, so I'll decide by individual matchups.PG: Magic over NashSG: Bryant over ErvingSF: James over BirdPF: Duncan over McHaleC: Shaq over MaloneWith your 2000s team being loaded and the 80s team being undermanned, the 2000s team wins comfortably, yet struggles anyway. The SG for the 80s team should have been Jordan, seeing as he was active for a good part of the 80s period. The best PF in the 80s in my opinion was actually James Worthy, who would have a slight advantage over Tim Duncan IMO. And the center of the 80s should have been Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who would have given Shaq some hell.

  10. Vanessa Hudgens Says:

    I think u shouldve put kidd in for nash personally but either work well.Indivisual ComparisonPG-Magic easy……..SG-This one is a tough matchup. I would take kobe since i think he mightve been better and dr j might not play sg wellSF-toughest matchup. But right now since lebron hasnt hit his prime larry wins this one.Still bird cant defend lebron cause of his athleticism.PF-Both great and skillfull but duncan is the greatest pf ever.C-SHAQ!!WAY TOO DOMINANT!Chemistry-i'm giving this to 2000. Shaq and kobe were arguably the best duo of all time.I think they have a good mix of shooting,passing and passing.Defense-2000.Kobe and duncan are great defenders,shaq in his prime was also a force,lebron would own at off the ball defense with steals and blocks.

  11. lady gaga Says:

    I really liked your teams. I think 00's would beat 80's. Shaq is one of he most dominant players of all time.According to many people, Kobe is easily top 5 players of all time.Tim is best in his position.LeBron as you guys know he is really good individual player. Source(s): My eyes and mind
