All-Decade Team (2010-2019)

 This week's coffee:  Bali Blue Moon made by Valentine. Bold, low acidity...diggin it.

When considering an All-Decade team, I chose players that were active in at least 6 seasons of the decade ('09-10 season through '18-19 season). I've made it a rule that a player can only appear in one All-Decade Team. I'm listing each of their most memorable teams (from the '10s decade) alongside their names.

Please note that I've decided to exclude most super-young ballers from this All-Decade list, since I feel like their most memorable years will occur next decade (the 2020's!).
