Dazzling Dunks not bad teams although you got some guys out of their primary positions. Durant and James both do deserve to be on 2010s team especially in the era of positionless basketball, but since they both primarily play the SF I didn’t include them.
If you were to include them both I would give Howard the nod over AD. Dwight wins in 2nd All NBA, 3rd All NBA, Defensive Player of Year, 1st All Defense and AD wins in All Stars, All Star MVP, 2nd All Defense.
Hakeem vs Robison was a toss up to me and I think you can make a case for either, really they should be co-C’s of the decade.
Moses got nod over Kareem (who I think is the GOAT) because in the 80’s Moses wins in: MVPs, 2nd All NBA and Kareem wins in: titles, 1st All NBA, 1st Defense, 2nd Defense. I gave Moses the slight nod since he was the best player in the league more often (MVP).

Hakeem and Robinson were close in terms of regular season accomplishments in the 90s but Hakeem had the much stronger playoff resume. That clearly gives him the nod imo.
No way I can see not putting both James and durant on the 2010s team considering they were the 2 best overall players of the decade. James has gone back and forth between positions throughout his career anyway so you can’t really lock him into a defined position.
Disagree on Howard over Davis. Howard was a beast at the beginning of the decade but his impact fell off considerably after leaving the magic in 2012. Davis had more All-NBA level seasons in the 2010s imo.

Dazzling Dunks that isn’t true though AD has been on one of the All NBA teams 3 times in 2010’s and Dwight Howard has been on one of the All NBA teams 5 times in the 2010s.
