Recently, NBA.com released their All-Decade Team revealing the best players of the 2010s. The 2010s consist of every season from 2009-10 until 2018-19.
The players were chosen from a panel at NBA.com as well as NBA TV producers and analysts. Each of the three teams consisted of five players (two backcourt, three background).
Twelve of the players are still active as we enter the 2020s, one is currently in free-agent limbo (Carmelo Anthony), and two have retired (Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade). Max Kellerman of ESPN has faced a lot of scrutiny for his take that Bryant should be on the ‘All-Worst Team’ of the 2010s according to the New York Post.
Here are the players that made up the three teams and their stats and accolades from the 2010s.
