Gets tricky in the 90’s...had to leave off Karl Malone and David Robinson.

Tim Duncan is the biggest snub of any decade. Dirk a big one too.

Probably could have gone with Wade or Pierce over TMac, but the TMac peak was higher...even if it was shorter.

Harden the big snub from 2010’s...I just don’t think his game fits with other stars at all. Plus Kawhi at his best is better.

CP3 unfortunately played his best 2 years in the 2000’s, but most his career in the 2010’s. I considered him a 2010 guy. Could have been the pick over Nash.

Giannis could take AD’s spot, but I think 10 years from now, we’ll consider his 2020 decade as better than his 2010 decade.

The 2020 one was mostly a crapshoot. I imagine it will include Luka/Giannis...Zion has a decent shot if he stays healthy. Obviously some more players will emerge in the future. Beal won’t be on this list, but I had to put someone for now.

***Edited and switched Beal for Tatum because I forgot about Tatum.


As for who would win...I’ll take the 2010’s team.
