Nash vs Stockton would be roughly a wash. Jordan+Hakeem are an absolutely ridiculous combo, but Kobe and Shaq in the 2000's are in their championship winning primes so that's as close to even as it's gonna get with the GOAT on one side. Pre-2010's LeBron is just a ridiculously, extraordinarily dominant player who hasn't yet figured out how to win championships, how to take the next step if you will, so I actually think Charles matches up better there than some might think despite the fact he's way out of position at the 3... (with a true SF like Pippen, the 90's would actually be heavier favorites in my book). But I think Duncan beats Malone, just marginally, based on more championships success.
So overall, each individual match up I think leans ever so slightly towards 90s. In terms of playing as a team... Kobe and MJ are both crazy ball-dominant, and their usage will be high even in an all-star matchup like this... But I think having a guy like LeBron, happy to be a distributor, might make a big difference in the matchup.
All of the players, except maybe Nash, would hold up just fine in a more physical era, so I don't think the 90s players have much of an advantage here like they might against say a 2010s team.
Ultimately, I'm gonna lean towards 90s, in double overtime, because I don't think MJ at his best is going to let his team lose this one.

I saw this on instagram and came to the conclusin that 90's would win. Jordan with hakeem would be unstopable. Hakeem would be able to contain shaq and jordan will out do kobe. That leaves it up to Lebron. I think he does not have the intangibles to win this for his team.
90's 111
00's 102

Fun Fact: 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the only numbers on all ten of their jerseys.
Funner Fact: The 90's would win, but I don't think these teams would be the real teams.

The 90s players will win. It will be Stockton to Malone, or Stockton to Jordan.
The outcome may be different though if you started Allen Iverson instead of Steve Nash.
