All-decade team features former first-round NBA pick

D3hoops.com released their selections for the all-decade teams (men’s and women’s) of Division III basketball players. The reason for looking back on the past 10 years? Well, I think they said it best:

Ten years ago this month, Division III Basketball Online moved from its temporary home on the Gallaudet and Catholic University servers to www.d3hoops.com, where we’ve been ever since.

Congratulations to everyone that’s been involved with this top-notch website over the years. As someone who has written for D3football.com (the sites are all under the D3sports.com brand), I can say from experience that Pat Coleman and the rest of those guys are great individuals and really take their coverage of Division III sports seriously.

But I was particularly interested in these all-decade teams. The men’s first team included Augsburg alum Devean George, who most NBA fans would probably recognize. George was a prolific scorer and ultimately was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 1999 NBA draft. But in reading over the bios of the other first team selections, as well as the other four teams, I was amazed at some of the careers players have had at the Division III level.

D3hoops.com has even opened up a discussion board on their site for fans to voice their opinions on the choices. For me personally it was a fantastic history lesson. Because I have only been truly immersed in the world of Division III sports for the last four years, I don’t know much even about the early 2000s, let the 1990s and prior. So this was very educational for me as a fan.
