    100% agree with Payton, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Hakeem. (Assuming they can adapted to the current game)

    What I cannot emphasis enough is how little ball needs to go around. The complex mind of Rodman loves to create chaos and clean everything up. Payton and Pippen would give the other team ice cream cones just to swipe the ice cream onto the floor. Most of the time will be Jordan and Hakeem at the ends of a road split in hell.

    Also one cannot speak too much about the mental game. The opposing team will be bombarded with taunts at the perimeter. Once inside they will be flustered by a clown and demoralized by the grace of a small giant.

    LeBron, Kobe and Durant... is not a team. But what is a 2000s team without those guys. For that reason 90s > 00s.

    On the other hand, if I can have these guys healthy.

    Jason Kidd
    Vince Carter
    Tracy McGrady
    Kevin Garnett
    Shaquille O'neal

    I will have to reconsider.

    Oops as for 1990 vs 2010.

    90s > 10s.

    Shaquille O'neal has been retired for many years now and has played most of the 90's.

    I took a few from the 00's but the 90's guys also played in the 80's so I figure it's a wash.
