Today would win.
If your talking exactly 20 years ago, today would win. In the 1990-1991 season it was too much transition, Magic was going to leave because of HIV, Hakeem was not quite in his prime, Isiah was leaving his, the NBA was basically MJ and then either people too washed up or not there yet. The 1989 draft was one of the worst, if not the worst drafts in history. The top pick was Pervis Ellison, followed by Danny Ferry. The only players people would remember from that draft was Glenn Rice, Shawn Kemp and Vlade Divac. Everyone else were scrubs, except Sean Elliot, Tim Hardaway and Nick Anderson who were a great role player. The 1990 draft wasn't that great either, aside from Gary Payton, only Derrick Coleman (first overall) and Dennis Scott even made for decent role players. So in 1990-1991 season, you had a lack of young talent, you had aging talent on it's way out in Isiah, Magic, Bird, and you had talent not ready for prime time like Ewing, Stockton, Malone and Hakeem. Then you had Michael Jordan at his best, Clyde Drexler who was ready from prime time, and Charles Barkley who was in his prime.Right now you have better young talent, you have great talent in it's prime like 'Melo, LBJ, Wade and Dwight and the aging talent right now is Kobe who is still winning. So 2010-2011>1990-1991.Now if you want 25 or 15 years ago, that's different. the mid 80's and the mid 90's would crush today. But in 1990-1991 season, it was the perfect storm of bad draft classes and aging talent.

Yeah, you got Jordan. But Kobe Bryant is pretty amazing if you ask me lol. Some already dispute that Kobe is better. We own you at the SF position. If you got back to like 2002-2003, KG & Timmy could be the two best PF's to ever play the game. You take the center position but we're beyond athletic at that position. Even if we didn't win the game (which would surprise me), we wouldn't get blown out.
i dont think any of the current players are legends, especially if they lived back then...stockton and magic for example would school all these point guardscurrent players who would be legend are; kobe, lebron, wade, shaq
