Why This Is the Decade's Best Five

Stephen Curry headlines the 2010s at a 97 overall. The engine assembles a complete five — a lead guard, wings, and a rim presence — from across the decade's teams, then plays out all 82 games. Their 793 projection captures a decade-defining core: enough shot-creation, rebounding and defense to contend for a perfect season, measured on the same era-adjusted scale as every other decade so the comparison is fair.
