In Spring 2024 I started a new All Time Teams project with the goal of educating myself on the history of basketball. I compiled 32 rosters using the 4-year minimum and one team per player guidelines established in my prior All Time Teams projects. Plans for team-a-day posts explaining my choices were cancelled due to lack of time and blogger interest. The rosters are posted below.

In our baseball All Time Teams series two additional teams were added - Negro League stars and a "best of the rest" roster called the Barnstormers. The All Time Teams series for hockey had two additional teams as well - an Original Six-era roster and a post-expansion roster called the Rovers.
This basketball series would also have 32 rosters - one for ABA stars, and a "best of the rest" squad.

Again, I am a casual basketball fan and my knowledge of these players is well below that of other sports. If I missed anyone please let me know.
Thanks for reading!
