50's vs 00's
70's vs 80's
60's vs 90's
PG O vs. Nash. O couldn't guard Nash's passes if he tried. No one can. Then again, O's got a free pass on the offensive end. At 6'5" he would wear Nash out by the first quarter, at which point those shots would fail to fall. Advantage: O.
SG West vs. Kobe. Kobe's 6'6", West's 6'2". On the offensive end, Kobe would bully West around, and Kobe would probably contain West pretty well. It's pretty dead even, honestly, except Kobe's one of the best ever. Advantage: Kobe.
SF RB vs. Marion. Marion would contain Rick Barry. It's hard to see, but it's true. Marion would never get the ball anyway, so Rick Barry wouldn't really have a ball with anything on the defensive end. If the ball comes down, Marion bullies Barry for the rebound every time. Advantage: Marion.
PF Lucas vs. KG. This would be really interesting. KG can do it all, but Lucas, on the offensive end, would make KG look weak and frail. KG on the defensive end would probably, because of his size, freeze Lucas in his tracks. It's a dead heat. I have a bias for 90's players, to be perfectly honest. They're just more unique. To counter that bias, advantage: Lucas.
C Kareem vs. Duncan. I love you, Timmy, and you've been incredible, but for twenty years Kareem destroyed Hakeem, Pat Ewing, Lanier, Walton, Moses, Elvin Hayes, Wes Unseld, and pretty much every great center in the 70's AND 80's. Timmy's the greatest defensive player that every lived, but in the end no amount of defense can stop that skyhook. Advantage: Kareem.
The 60's take this one.
