NBN 2020's All-Decade 1st Team

The 2020's decade has come to a close, and while it is not the full 10 seasons, 7 years should be long enough to define an era of NBN 3.0 basketball. I did something similar like this in 2.0, only that time I had included other GMs to get less of an subjective opinion. However, seeing as I need to horde all the cash I possibly can, I decided to go about this solo. I've created an All-Decade NBN Team list for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team. There has been hundreds if not already thounsands of players to come through this league at this point, so to keep things simple for myself I limited canidates to any player that had at least won an All-League First, Second, or Third team regular season award. Of course this will mean a lot of whose availible will be based on FBB's own standards. So the Claxton's and Daron Holmes of the world won't be highly favored for the All-League list. All-Defensive however?👀 Now here is the list.

Recency bias nearly put me on De'Aaron Fox in this spot, but there was the three peat, two of which were against an injured/healthy Fox led Kings team. Three time MVP, managed the most All-League 1st teams, an outstanding assist-to-turnover ratio, and while the scoring production has dipped slightly over recent years, this 76ers are likely still regarded as a top 3 team in the blood bath located in the East. In truth I might be putting too much value into post season success in this case, considering that his running mate was Joel Embiid. Until the emergence of Keggan Murray and Nic Claxton, Fox had little else. However, when making lists such as these I like to think who defined the era, and despite the great production of Embiid, these 76ers team whom clinched 4 straight Eastern Confetence titles would likely never reach such dominance without the production of one Tyrese Maxey.

This is 100% most likely my most controversial pick. At shooting guard there were about a handful of canidates at this position, and despite never actually claiming an All-League 1st Team award, I've decided to let peraonal tastes overtake this ranking. Now Wagner's numbers may be off from the other options, but considering his career got its start in the 2024 season after being drafted 3rd overall in the draft, his overall numbers look quite well. Now there is you Anthony Edwards, your Austin Reaves and Devin Booker's of the world, but I don't think has showcased the level of outside shooting that Wagner has provided, which was also paired with low turnovers and great assist production, and while most GMs would maybe prefer slightly lesser shooting effiecency in exchange for more rebounding and steals, I personally found Wagner to be the name that stood out to me the most this decade.

The most diverse position in number of canidates, but by far the easiest decision to make. Of course to much of my displeasure it just had to be the dork Jayson Tatum. It's a league weak overall position, hardly find many small forawrds making big production, hopefully some of this upcoming talent will change the perception. Tatum has been by default the only SF to want get multiple All-League 1st Team titles. Look he was an elite rebounder at the position, an highly efficient scorer, produced decent number of assists, I'd probably ablsolutely be in love if he could produce at least 2.5 stocks per game or if his real life persona wasn't so cringe. Recreating Garnett, then quoting Kanye. At least when Corey Seager did it he was mocking Alex Bregman. I dislike that guy and he should leave the cosplaying to us losers in the forum.

Probably my other questionable positioning, but the way I see it, the 2030's will probably be ruled by Cooper Flagg anyways, and Williamson has at least got that ring (barring a miraculous 2029 run by the Wizards) and he's done it without making one 3-pointer. Impressive really, and ignoring his time in New Orleans he has just been an dominant force on the offensive end. While the stocks are non-existent and rebounding is just great or in other words not elite. I feel as if I ha e no choice but to put respect on the 500 lifetime shooting percentage or the fact he not only won the ship with the Grizzlies in 2027 and the Eastern Conference Championship with in the inagural 2023 season.

I'd mentioned Embiid earlier, talking about his great pairing with Maxey, but this is Wemby we are talking about. The once a generational player to the likes of Sabonis or that other guy in 2.0. There isn't a GM who'd say no to having Wemby on their team, at a fair price of course. I'd suspect this 2029 campaign shall finally end on an MVP award, one which I believe has unjustly alluded him in the past several seasons. Look, he's still 25 and I'd imagine he'll be listed on the next go around, or who knows? Maybe not with Shaq and Wilt making their way here. He's on the Jazz now and still searching for that first championship ring, but he's been the best player in this league and when his time comes he'll likely have an all-time rebounding record that will be difficult to beat for some time.

Fox snubbed!

Zions rebounding has been much better in Vancouver averaging 11.4, 12.5, 12.5, and 12.4

I agree the Wagner pick is very questionable. Those awards don’t factor in his non-existent defense
