There are some really obvious ones with better NBA Jam teams but those were the "dominant" teams of those eras:
Chicago: NBA Jam easy (if you assume Jordan was on the team, making Pippen #2)
Utah: Mailman and Stockton will be one of the best NBA Jam teams ever
Charlotte: Grandmama and Zo were unstoppable in the game
Sacramento: Tisdale and Mitch Richmond (tho the team went no deeper than that) vs... um, ???
Knicks: Ewing and Starks/Oakley vs whatever filth they have now- tho to be fair, their problem was the lack of a constant second threat
etc

2009 also produces some obvious ones as those teams are much better now than they were then:
Cleveland: LeBron, Williams over Price/Daugherty
Denver: Carmelo, Billups vs Young Dikembe, LaPhonso Ellis or Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
Lakers: Kobe and Gasol/Odom vs Divac Worthy/Van Exel

But the good teams are no fun as they're pretty easy. How about the crap teams?

Washington: if healthy, it's Arenas and Butler but what if you made it realistic and could only play with Arenas half the time against Tom Gugliotta and Harvey Grant.
Milwaukee: Brad Lohaus and Blue Edwards vs Redd and Jefferson?
Minnesota: Christian Laettner and Chuck Person/Isiah Rider vs Al Jefferson and Randy Foye with Ryan Gomes or Kevin Love as the unlock special?
Toronto: Bosh and Bargnani vs the NBA Jam TE developers?
