Golf lessons
My first ever time golfing on my very first swing I did this and it worked great, I ended up on the green. The unfortunate part was it was the wrong green.

I don't live in the market but if I did I would never use Schaal just on principle. They had no business subjecting us all those years to their terrible commercials. "Just call Schaal, y'all!"

By the same token, if you drop today's players into the Boomer's rule set you would have those players turning the ball over left and right with carrying, double dribble and traveling calls. Those have been loose for decades in the NBA but have gotten ridiculous during the last ten years or so. Sure they could adapt but there is no question that it is an advantage today for the offensive player when he can fake out the defender by taking extra steps or palming the ball on his "hesi".Era debates are always hard, and I feel like they tend to devolve into stupid arguments. But I'll get into it anyway.
Obviously rules and play style have changed a lot over the course of the NBA. I do think people overrate the physicality of the 80s and 90s (you can't just reference the Bad Boy Pistons and ignore every other team), and I think the three-point era naturally leads to less physicality from better spacing and less low-efficiency post offense.
But people also forget that there have been rule changes that have allowed greater variety in defenses. Before 2001, help defense was extremely limited and defenders had to mostly stay attached to their guys, regardless of whether their guy was able to shoot at all.

Jordan himself advocated against allowing zone defenses and said that his career would have looked a lot different if he had had to play against zones.
Would Michael Jordan Have Been As Good In An NBA Era With Zone Defense?
NBA heads love few things more than a good cross-generational argument: Could Oscar Robertson average a triple-double in today's NBA? Would Wilt Chamberlain stwww.si.com
With defensive style rules relaxed in 2001, defenses nowadays have a ton of different ways to play against pick-and-rolls that weren't possible or were much more limited before the rule change. It means that defenses are more complex (even if they are less physical) and playoff series often become more of a chess match of scheme adjustments rather than just a question of whose guys are better one-on-one players.

The NBA, like virtually all sports, revolves around offense. As the game has shifted toward a skill-based, pace-and-space, three-point-heavy era, we’ve seen countless articles about how putting the…hoopshype.com
Because of all of that, I think my answer is basically if these teams are playing with pre-2001 rules, I'm going with the Boomers. If they're playing with rules after 2001, and if we replace Harden with Kawhi, I'll go with the Millennials. I also think the Millennials also have the most complementary team on offense while the others have a lot more redundancy (I would love to see Steph play with Jokic and Lebron, for instance).
In addition many of the boomer's FT shooting averages would go up since today's players can't stay out of the lane or outside the arc until the FT shot is released. Many boomers getting second chances on missed FTs.
Foul hunting has been around for a long time but it has gotten out of hand lately. I think many stars of today who are more concerned with drawing contact rather than getting a good shot would have a bit of culture shock.
I would have to go back and look at old game footage but I think it is ridiculous today how picks are set wrapping up players who are trying to get around screens forcing the switch or two hand chucking them so they are pushed a couple of feet further from the basket when they are trying to catch up to their man. I watched a couple of the Indiana/Cleveland games and I'm not sure I have seen a Cavalier big set a clean screen yet.
