Happy New Year to all our readers. tLayupDrill.com takes time today to reflect back on an incredible decade of pro basketball. The decade started and ended with a familiar site: Kobe Bryant lifting the NBA Title in the air in mid-June. Of course, the circumstances around the first 3peat run with Shaq, and his redemption title seems like a lifetime ago. In between all of that, we have seen the rise of the King(Lebron), CP3(Chris Paul), Steve Nash, Melo, D-Wade, and Dirk. We saw the decade begin with The Answer willing an undermanned Sixers team to the Finals, and Iverson humbly returning to Philly after being casted off as a has-been by the rest of the league.

LayupDrill.com takes some time to reflect back on the 10 best players of the decade, with the help of YouTube video to help remind you of some of them. Enjoy.

First, lets talk about the criteria. I believe there should a perfect balance, so lets say 40% based on your individual stats, and 40% based on your teams standings and success. The remaining 20% are the intangibles, such as the strength of your supporting cast, the increase in victories from one season to the next, and other compensating factors that would make the case for one player over another. More than a simple popularity contest, the NBA regular season MVP is still the most coveted and competitive MVP trophies of all major team sports, and with the exception of the Heisman in College Football, could be the second most important.
