Predict the Next NBA All Decade Teams: Stacker Sports x GSC Crossover Event
10.3k sats \ 10 comments \ @Undisciplined 23h Stacker_Sports
I'm excited to introduce a crossover series that we're partnering with Global Sports Central on. Every month, we'll be soliciting predictions and rankings for various sports.
Our challenge, stackers, is to best the AI predictions that Global Sports Central will be compiling. The scoring system will vary by sport and whenever possible relate to something from that sport.
This first challenge will be to predict who the 10 best NBA players of the 2020's will have been. We haven't precisely nailed down the scoring criteria, but it will be some combination of being named to the All Decade Teams and other accolades, like MVPs and All NBA selections.
So, let me know who you expect to make the All Decade 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Teams for the 2020's, preferably also in order of best to worst within each team. Here are mine:

All Decade 1st Team

  1. Jokic
  2. Giannis
  3. Luka
  4. Tatum
  5. Steph

All Decade 2nd Team

  1. SGA
  2. Lebron
  3. AD
  4. Ant
  5. KAT

All Decade 3rd Team

  1. Trae Young
  2. Jimmy Butler
  3. Haliburton
  4. Jaylen Brown
  5. Wemby
What do you all think of those teams? It started feeling a lot more uncertain early on than I expected.

Question. By 2020's, do you mean 2020 till now? Or till the end of 2020's? Because we are only a bit over halfway through the 2020's, but still have over 4 years to go until the end of 2029. A lot can happen in 4 years...

Through 2030. A lot can happen indeed, but I think it's pretty unlikely someone could come completely out of nowhere at this point and make the team.

Too much for me to do all 3 teams right now. Assuming all decade refers to to 2020-2029, I'll say the 1st team will be
  • Jokic
  • Luka
  • SGA
  • Tatum
  • Ant

I realized I probably put too many western conference players in.,. Oh well

It's the stronger conference. I leaned more heavily towards guys who already won titles this decade. I figured there's more uncertainty with the others.

Yeah I noticed that too. I tried to be more forward looking but agree it's more uncertain

You think Tatum will just not ever show the top gear of SGA and that will count against him?
There's a very good chance that Tatum will end the decade with the most titles and All NBA selections.
