Time passes, the pages turn and the years flee, it is time to take stock, to paint the best portrait of these years 2010-2020 that have fundamentally changed the whole way of seeing the sport with leather ball and the NBA.What better way to bring out the crème de la crème of these years by achieving this 5 major of this decade.Who will be these 5 major players who have been able to do well and dominate the most prestigious basketball league in the world? Where to start?There is so much to say. So many players to mention, the basketball of the 2010s takes a turn.Increasingly publicized, and even internationalized, the American league has continued to grow over the years.With recent seasons, the NBA has taken a radical turn that sees the game move away from the racket. More vertical and more physical, American basketball has evolved.A big family, that's what this NBA represents, with its share of joy, nervousness, filled with beautiful and tragic events at the same time.It is not one, but two legends who decided to say goodbye to this family.And we could not begin this ranking of the years 2010-2020 without paying tribute to them. Mr. David Stern "the commissioner", Mr. Kobe Bryant "The Black Mamba", Thanks you!
The pivot: Anthony Davis
Above all, it is also important to remember which players in the same position have made an impression.Rudy Gobert is part of the debate at the pivotal place, but without a title, it is difficult to go further, especially against Anthony Davis.Karl Anthony Towns, Dwight Howard, were in the race. For lack of consistency, individual and collective titles, we can never put them in front of the current giant of the Lakers. Our major 5 should look like a real major 5, and the pivot is one of them. We are clearly not in an "era" of pivots, as there may have been before. However, the choice is made! Impressive from his debut in the NBA and drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Davis is to date the most dominant pivot in the league. In those early years, the single-eyebrow tentacle continued to shine in a squad that was perhaps not up to its height. Anthony is the archetype of the modern pivot, fast on the supports, mobile and above all able to shoot at any distance. The number 23 has been able to shine and dominate absolutely any interior of this league.It was by joining the Lakers that Anthony Davis was able to practice all his art by winning a championship title. 
Strong winger: LeBron James
Again, the position was not to his advantage in the 2010s. Still, there are names to mention. Indeed, when we talk about this position, we think of Dirk Nowitzki, the iconic player of the Dallas Mavericks of the early 2010s.Not to mention a certain Tim Duncan, more present over the past decade. However, it is clear that the era of those who are called very athletic "big man" is coming to an end… For the sake of consistency of the 5 major, this is where we decided to place one of the best players of all time.And I quoted the one nicknamed the "King", LeBron James.So strong, so complete, all adjectives would not be enough to describe this player.Humble, committed, LeBron James leaves an unprecedented legacy to the sport of the leather ball.As exemplary on and off the field, "the King" marked an entire generation.Early in his career, LBJ immersed himself in the role of finisher, athlete whether in Cleveland or Miami, where he won many titles.With the rise of the transition game, the shooting-based game, LeBron James was able to adapt and become a true playmaker at the end of this decade, greatly increasing his productivity in assists and shooting. 
Winger: Kevin Durant
Unlike the other two positions, this position of the 5 fits better into this decade.A lot of names come to mind, but again, is there really debate?Carmelo Anthony? One of the most successful players with the American team? Whereelse DeMar DeRozan, the player of San Antonio Spurs? Jimmy Butler struggling to win an NBA championship. Many names, but only one place for.. Kevin Durant, we're talking about the best forward in NBA history. This player knows how to do absolutely everything, his size and his large size do not prevent him from having a "handle" more than correct, not to mention his shot that allows him to put baskets at any distance. His back-to-the-basket play is absolutely remarkable, as is his attack at the circle. In short, Kevin Durant represents this decade very well. The player is a real Swiss Army knife. Drafted by the Sonics , then player of the Oklahoma city thunders, Kevin Durant struggled to win collective titles despite the MVP title in 2014.It was by joining the overwhelming Warriors team that Kevin Durant won two titles by finishing MVP of the Finals.Even if much criticized on this career choice, it does not take away the sparkling level of KD over the decade. 
Back: Dwyane Wade
First, we are clearly on the most difficult choice to make. The decade 2010-2020, is the decade of backs and playmakers! The number of players that can be retained in this position is simply very high. This choice is difficult, because there is a bearded Houston who is among the best in history. Why didn't you select it?Lack of collective titles, disappointment in the play-offs, lack of leadership…In short, James Harden puts points, a lot of points, without ever winning anything behind for his team.And it's a shame when you see how dominant this player is.Of course, Klay Thompson, Bradley Beal, PaulGeorge, Devin Booker, are also the ones who have marked this decade. Why Wade? First of all, even if his end of career remains mixed in terms of performance and results. Dwyane is one of the best backs in the history of the sport. He is not the most impressive, the most athletic, but we also had to make a consistent 5 major where the players are able to adapt, to stand back to make the collective win, and this is the main reason that pushed us to put the best back in the history of the Miami Heat.The three-time NBA champion would get along perfectly with his former teammate in this 5, LeBron James. Obviously, it is clear that Wade's best level was reached at the beginning of the decade.After the Heat's loss to the Spurs in 2014, Wade began a fairly significant decline. However, this does not detract from his gigantic career. 
Playmaker: Stephen Curry
So there, how to say?As one would say, on this post, the question is quickly answered. Certainly, but let's mention some leaders who embody this decade.Damian Lilliard, the point guard of the Portland Trail Blazers, deserves his name to come out.A true pyromaniac, he is an exceptional player.Chris Paul, leader by definition, embodies management in all its glory. John Wall, Mike Conley, Ricky Rubio, Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Russell Westbrook are all great leaders who have left their mark on this "era of leaders".However, let's get down to business. Stephen Curry literally reinvented the game. Coaches who had to adapt their defenses to a whole new style of play. Stephen Curry has excelled so much in his field that his main weapon becomes a "must" for absolutely every NBA player. The shoot, his weapon of mass destruction shook the nets of all NBA halls.Like Shaquille O'neal, Bill Russell, Allen Iverson, this guy completely revolutionized the NBA. The decade 2010 belongs to him. Of course, his shooting, although very important, is far from being his only quality. His more than correct defense, his attack at the hoop, have sometimes allowed him not to be only a "gringalet who only knows how to shoot".When we look at our starting point guard of this 5, we are forced to admire his game without the ball, his basketball IQ and of course, his dribbling, which makes him a goldsmith of this sport.Only unanimous MVP, three-time NBA champion, Stephen Curry, if it hadn't been for LeBron James, would surely have been the player of this decade. 
To conclude..
This 5 major, is surely one of the best in history. Very complementary, and with players full of self-sacrifice, this team is great. We can remember a lot from those years that revolutionized basketball. The NBA still has its share of surprises in store and it already has within it all those who will be the heirs of the players mentioned in the article.
