As for the coaches I would prefer a coach who has witnessed the evolution of the game, who had an understanding of all schemes and strategies developed through out the history of basketball. With that in mind, I would substitute Red with Greg Popovich.

Lets talk about the first team. I personally don't like unconventional point guards like Magic, I prefer a more prototypical one including being good to great 3 point shooter to space the floor. In my team I have good long range shooters like MJ and Oscar and a great 3 point shooter in Bird.
Curious to hear your thinking in putting Kareem at PF? Wouldn't he clog the lane with Wilt? Just to have a size advantage? I prefer Duncan and Olajuwon since both can play in the post and a little further if needed.
On the second team I don't like Russell at center. I be honest and say that I think Russell would just be a defense oriented center in this day and age. The dude was a bad FT shooter (common for centers) and a 44% FG shooter. That wouldn't cut it today. Plus he is listed as 6-10, not impressive.
As presented, I would take team 1 to win. But I don't particularly like either one.
