    G- Curry
    G- Harden
    F- Lebron
    F- Durant
    F- Kawhi

    If I had to pick a center it’s between Dwight and Gasol.

    Dwight started to decline after 2009-10......

    If it is the Decade 2000-2010 maybe.

    Why would you pick 2 guards and 3 forwards - teh decade is/was/dominated by perimeter players.

    They need to overhaul all star/all nba ballots.

    2 G's, 2 F/C's and 1 wild card (who will probably be a guard)

    Since this decade's shift away from having a center as a focal point of a team, I don't think there needs to be a center in the starting 5. The players you listed are the 5 best this decade and that's fine with me.

    Curry
    Harden
    LeBron
    Durant
    Davis

    AD is my pick for best big man of the decade. 7 seasons of averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds, 2.5 blocks. That's a surefire perrenial MVP in any other decade.

    Kawhi needs to get docked points for his load management, if you presume an all-Decade team is a cumulative award

    Total minutes, Regular Season + Playoffs since Kawhi's rookie season (2011-12)

    Kawhi, about 18,000
    Curry (not very durable, has missed a lot of time) ~21000
    Harden 25,000
    James 29,000
    Durant 25,000

    AD has not been as impactful to team wins as Kawhi.

    Kawhi has 2 finals MVP with 2 different teams.

    I've already picked 2 small forwards, I'm not taking another. Otherwise this becomes a top-5 list instead of a team selection.

    How can you not put the Rockets great who averages triple-doubles on this team?

    Kawhi career averages: 17/6/2 :eek:

    If you look at pure centers, Howard numbers are comparable to other top centers. He won 2 of his Defensive players of the year this decade, 4x all nba teams, 3x rebound leader and 1x shot block leader

    If you had a 2nd team how many Rockets and Warriors would there be cumulatively between both teams?
