Which NBA era wins...

[3TrueFans]

I don't know but damn Luka is fat, every other guy in that picture looks like a ******* athlete and Luka looks like he's breathing heavy from getting off the couch.

I’d probably say Gen X would beat the winner of the Boomers and Millennials in the finals.

 

[JP4CY]

I'd put Chris Paul or Lillard on the millennial team over Harden

Harden has a great step back shot but plays zero defense. Paul is an OUTSTANDING defender.

 

[clonedude]

Michael Jordan. Always Michael Jordan. And I would take Scottie over Barkley.

This... ALWAYS this!

 

[Gonzo]

I'm going Boomers but that GenX lineup is salty.

 

[ExCyment]

Is Jordan really a boomer? Definitely the boomers, but I really don't think of any of those guys as boomers.

I think Boomers can be born as late as the mid 60s and still be considered Boomers.

 

[Marcelason78]

Hard to beat the ’72 Lakers. Even though Elgin Baylor was gone, that team was loaded.

MJ was born in '63. That's too early for GenX. Boomers were born 1946-1964.

Boomers. And there could be a case made to swap Barkley for Malone. Gonna give up some boards doing that but Malone would stretch the floor more to an already stretched floor.

How would that Boomer team stretch the floor? That’s not a good 3P shooting team at all. MJ was mediocre, Magic wasn’t a good shooter, Barkley was terrible from 3, and Hakeem hardly ever shot any.

Bird

Bird

And that was typical of the era. One guy can’t stretch the floor. And keep in mind Bird was 37.6 career with a shorter three point line. He was an elite offensive player, shooter and scorer, particularly for his size. But you’ve got four other guys on the floor that are avg to terrible from three.

Malone had an outstanding jumpshot from 15 to 18 ft. Bird Obviously. For a true big Hakeem had great footwork and fadeway that I feel like could hit a slashing Jordan or Magic.
Not a great arc team but I'd really trust that lineup.

And how will those younger generation teams shoot the 3 in the face of a Boomer team that actually plays defense? Lol. Do you really think they're going to get the clean looks they do today vs. that team?

 

[Kinch]

Boomers. And you can say the same thing in college. The greatest college games were boomers.

somebody is getting open looks, because two guys have Chuck and Magics fat asses trying to guard them out on the perimeter in space.

The boomer guys are who I identify with the most, but watching old games vs now, the skill and speed that the game is played at now is just far beyond what it was then.

Yes, back then you got clubbed going for a layup and it’s a common foul. But the no defense argument against todays NBA just doesn’t work for me.

They might play defense, but not against multiple guys who can shoot from behind the arc or even mid range for that matter.

Lol, why not?

You guys who think nobody could shoot the basketball prior to 2000 are really, really funny.

 

[Kinch]

Two guys played a large role in the boomer era: Red Auerbach and Jerry West.

I think it was assumed everyone was in their prime for this hypothetical. People really underestimate how athletic Barkley was.
