2010s all decade teams.

[QUOTE=Kblaze8855;14520465]John Lucas the third was that for 8 seasons. In his last real shot he played 42 games for the Jazz and shot 32% from the field. And at 5’9” he was a bad defender even in his prime. But he played most of his career after 29. His peak was like 6 nice games off the bench for the Bulls and Lebron gliding over his head for an alley oop.

And guess what?

He will go to his grave having been an nba level player…..because your idea of what that means…is of absolutely no consequence.[/QUOTE]

I watched a lot of John Lucas during his time as a Bull and I swear he would purposely throw bad passes to players with open looks so the defense could recover and Lucas could potentially get the ball back for another look at his own shot.

That is all...

[QUOTE=Kblaze8855;14520487]Melo isn’t as good an nba player as I am a home cook I’m sure of that.[/QUOTE]

That's next level selfish tunnel vision.

A couple of OGs going at it.

Aldridge & Melo should be replaced with Lillard & Dwight

I swear McDermott was constantly catching passes at his feet when from Lucas.

He accomplished more than most despite being a clown.

Kevin Love > Lamarcus Aldridge.
Kevin Love > Blake Griffin.

His name's got a better ring to it than the other 2 do. :pimp:

Yeah but the vast majority of it was done in the late 00’s.

I thought the same thing as you at first, and it blew my mind to realize Dwight’s run as a top player actually happened more than a decade ago. Doesnt feel like it’s been that long. But, time flies.

Believe it or not Dwight actually made 5 All-NBA Teams, including 3 First Teams, in the 2010's, in addition to winning 2 DPOY. He also had his best statistical season in 2011.

Indeed there was some bleed over into the 00s. Thats why I said specifically his run as a top player happened more than a decade ago, because ‘10 and ‘11 ARE now more than a decade ago. After that he still got some awards based on name value and limited competition at center, but he was done as a top 10 guy. I guess saying the “vast majority” of his success was 00’s is overstating it. But at the least it was limited to the start of the only the beginning of the 10s.

Doesnt feel like enough to justify being selected for a team of the 10s, altho with Aldridge and Griffin being the alternatives I wouodnt strongly oppose anyone for picking him.

Yep, he was also 2nd in MVP voting in 2011. All of those are much better than the Blake Griffins or the Aldridges of the world.
