Legends (in their prime of course) would thrash the present team. Any team with MJ and Magic and Bird on the same team would be near impossible to stop. The present team (and that's assuming you just plain forgot Kobe and KG... without them I wouldn't even acknowledge this "team") would have their moments since no one can physically handle Shaq (in his prime) and the pure athleticism that Kobe, KG, Lebron, T Mac, etc would bring. But in the end, it would be the Legends, every time.

THE LEGENDS with Pat Riley as their coach are the winners hands down. Magic, Bird, Jordan, and Kareen alone are a lethal combination. You need to *** Kobe Bryant to the present team along with Kevin Garnett just to make it interesting.

Legends without a doubt. Also, you missed a lot of awesome current players on your present team...Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, just to name a few...even with them the Legends would win

I would say Legends would win in their Prime because the game was soo much different back then. Different mind set, everyone was doing what they do unlike now where everyone is tryin to cross up people and dunk. But if it were a game like now Deff. the present, but yea both teams can win

The game has changed since the classic team were at their peak, but if both teams were at their peak, I would go with the classic team. They had a better grasp on the fundamentals back then, and with a lot of those guys there was no glory wh*ring and millon-dollar endorsements, just basketball.

The Legends.
They have players who can do everything. They have options everywhere on the floor. They also have MJ. They can't lose.
If AI is playing point, the Present team is just going to turnover possession everytime he goes for a bad shot.

Legends team would win, not even going to mention the people you forgot to put on that list. Ok just one Mikan man on the bench for center come on, the original dominant big man.

So let me get this straight, you're organizing a "present" team that does not include KOBE?!? You're crazier than Dennis Rodman. Steve Francis and Joe Johnson...WHO?!? Present only wins if Kobe plays.

That's one hell of a question, man. I'll go for the legends, because Air Jordan is on the team. Man, was he a good basketball player.
