Yeah, that's why I said it too. 09 = too strong/athletic. Different era.

I like the Legends but I dont see how they guard Wade, Kobe and Lebron.

If Bosh doesn't see the court, 09 has a chance to win... Dream/Barkley/Malone/Ewing (whoever Bosh has to guard) would abuse him

88' is definitely deeper in my opinion. Bringing Nique', Karl Malone, and Patrick Ewing off the bench is just disgusting. Plus, we all know what Clyde and Stockton are capable of. Nasty bench. I think the depth of the 88' team would push them over the top.
MJ > Kobe.
LeBron = Magic.
Dwayne > Larry.
Duncan = Dream.
Dwight = Sir Charles.
Stockton > CP3.
Clyde > BRoy.
Nique > Melo.
Mailman >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bosh.
Ewing > Yao.

All I know is Hakeem would dick 09. Exactly, much too mobile for Dwight. And even though he's bigger than Barkley, he struggles with teams that are aggressive with him. It'd be a hell of a game, I'd probably take 88. |

He's already on pace to break Stockton type numbers but what's even more impressive he's on pace to break Magic type numbers and CP3 is only what like 5'2? |

Agreed, only thing I didn't agree with Maniac on. 2009 CP3>88 Stockton. |

Dream > Duncan well this is where I feel the assessment is unfair... 2009 injury-hit Duncan doesn't compare to healthy 1988 Olajuwon... but if you take the 2004-2006 version of Duncan I think it calls for a great battle. Although if it means anything at all, Dream would ALWAYS dominate David Robinson when they played. |
