Default Best NBA Team All-Time

Okay guys, I just got into an argument with someone about how the team of about 2 decades ago would crush today's team. I argued the opposite, and began listing off a starting lineup that consisted of:

Shaq-C, all day, best centre of all-time
Garnett-SF, can play any position on the floor, so I gave him this one
Duncan-PF, again, all-day, I don't like him but he is good
Kidd-PG, Mr. Everything, he can match up against the best point guards of any era
Stojakovic-SG, again, a very good shooter and good height for the position.

He begins naming off:
Jordan-PG, can't argue there
Bird-SG, again can't argue, but Peja has a few inches on him
K. Malone-SF, Garnett would school him
Olajuwon-PF, Duncan would food him
Abdul-Jabbar-C, Shaq would snap him like a twig.

I know a lot of you guys grew up during both eras, so who would win. I say today's NBA would dominate. This all started when I said LeBron is sick and will be better than Jordan, which drew some backlash. Oh well, I guess averagin 21 a game out of high school doesn't get the respect it should. He is going to be the BEST player of all-time, possibly any sport.
