The main reason the 2012 team wouldn't beat 1992 is all in the middle.
You can argue that 2012's point guards could take 92 since Magic was on his retirement tour and they stupidly left off Isaiah for political reasons.
You could even argue that Kobe could slow down Jordan enough so that Durant and Lebron could more then make up for it with their SF dominance, and that one of them could even up the PF game by playing some minutes in the PF. (Lebron of course.)
Centers though? Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love... vs David Robinson and Patrick Ewing.
It's arguably the biggest mismatch between the two teams.

a bigger mismatch would be PF, where barkley and malone would just maul everyone else in the post. lebron and durant are tall enough, but they don't have the strength to match up in post defense, especially against barkley's backdown.
anyway, jordan makes up for everything else. kobe isn't in the same league (well no one is anyway).

Jordan is still the man but his last two years with the Wizards where laughable and his post playing career for the most part has been tragic. The Bobcats just finsihed with the worst winning percentage of all time for the regular season and it could have been a lot worse if they would have played the usual 82 game season.

Laughable? Dude, the guy averaged over 20 points per game when he played for the Wizards and he was 40 YEARS OLD. 40!! That's freaking ancient in basketball terms (see Jason Kidd, what a beast). I agree that he is pretty terrible in the front office, but as a player he was dominant his entire career.

Atually he was mostly 38 and 39 the most time he played with the Wizards since he turned 40 towards the end of his last season on February 17, 2003 and since the team didn't make the playoff that year barely played three month in his 40's. The team didn't make the playoff a year before that either. So, yeah one of the greatest players of all time finishing his last two season on a team that didn't even come close to the playoffs is pretty laughable. Jason Kidd should have finished his career in Dallas but at least he went to a team that has a slightly better change of making it further into the playoffs then the Mavs next season.
