The N.B.A. stuffed a lot into the last 10 years.

It was a decade book-ended by the first forays into free agency for LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard, both of whom shook the league with the choices they made and the manner in which they made them. It was a decade in which the Golden State Warriors made the N.B.A. finals their June home for five consecutive seasons, consistent excellence unseen since Bill Russell’s Boston Celtics in the 1960s. It was the decade in which Kobe Bryant shot himself into retirement with an incomprehensible 60-point farewell game — and it was the N.B.A.’s Twitter decade, too. Social media platforms, chiefly Twitter and Instagram, became the league’s 24-hour, seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year playground, resulting in increased relevance for the sport (and no shortage of side issues).

With 2019 dwindling down to its last days, let’s anoint 10 standouts from the 2010s.
