    Default 80's MVP's vs 00's MVP's

    80's Line up:
    Magic Johnson
    Michael Jordan
    Larry Bird/Julius Erving
    Moses Malone
    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

    00's Line up:
    Lebron James/Steve Nash
    Kobe Bryant/Allen Iverson
    Kevin Garnett
    Tim Duncan/Dirk Nowitzki
    Shaquile O'neal

    I have the 80's MVP's winning this if it were a 7 game series. 80's in 7!

    (Edit: Okay I have changed the roster a bit.)

    Shaq, having won his MVP in 2000, should be included in place of D. Rose.

    Steve Nash
    Kobe Bryant
    Lebron James/Dirk Nowitzki
    Tim Duncan/Kevin Garnett
    Shaq

    Kobe Bryant
    Lebron James
    Kevin Garnett/Dirk Nowitzki
    Tim Duncan
    Magic over Nash/Rose
    Jordan over Kobe (This is close)
    Erving/Bird over James/Garnett/Nowitzki (Could go either way 50-50)
    Duncan over Malone

    IF Shaq is replaced for Rose. I would put Shaq ahead of Duncan. Magic of course is far greater than Nash.

    That's so stupid, Rose shouldn't be included in the 00's era..

    I would take the 00's team.

    I'd have LeBron play the point forward and field a line up of...

    LeBron James/Steve Nash
    Kobe Bryant
    Kevin Garnet/Dirk Nowitzki
    Tim Duncan
    Shaq

    That lineup wins a 7 game series consistently. A lot of size, significant speed, great defense, great offense.

    80s MVPs are waaaay to undersized compared to 00s guys.... Shaq/Duncan/KG against Bird/Moses...

    Lebron would also obviously play PG because of that Magic Johnson matchup... can forget Rose/Nash (trust me, those dudes would be just posted up and manhandled by Magic)...

    it would look more like:

    PG - Lebron
    SG - Kobe
    SF - Nowitzki/Garnett (yep prime KG could very much easily dominate SF)
    PF - Garnett/Duncan
    C - Shaq

    Just add Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and the 80s are fine. He won MVP in 1980.

    I dont mean just length... more importantly power/strength/body size.... Kareem vs Shaq is like Reggie Miller vs Lebron James/Karl Malone or something... hell even Kevin Durant weighs more than Kareem did lol..

    PG - Lebron 260+? lbs ----- Magic 215 lbs
    SG - Kobe 205 lbs ----- Jordan 195 lbs
    SF - Dirk 237 lbs ----- Julius 200 lbs
    PF - Duncan 250 lbs ----- Bird 220 lbs
    C - Shaq 325 lbs ----- Kareem 225 lbs

    80s guy would be ragdolled.... and believe you me, its not fat the 00s guys are carrying, its pure muscle with pure fury

    Agreed...

    Magic Johnson
    Michael Jordan
    Julius Erving
    Larry Bird/Moses Malone
    Kareem/Moses Malone

    vs

    LeBron James/Steve Nash
    Kobe Bryant
    Kevin Garnett/Dirk Nowitski
    Tim Duncan
    Shaquille O'Neal

    The 00's still win, but in a more competitive series.
