Talent is at an all time high. And we will be at 32 teams. Not only that but individual roster sizes have also increased. All in all the talent pool is way bigger now. Is that enough to justify All NBA 4th team?

25 teams / 15 All NBA spots = 1.67 teams per spot

32 teams / 15 spots = 2.13 teams per spot

32 teams / 20 spots = 1.6 teams per spot

To maintain the balance that existed in 1989, a 4th All NBA team would be necessary

    No.

    All-NBA appearances is generally a pretty clear gauge for elite careers, and you don’t want to see them water it down.

    If you go to four teams, then the majority of All-Stars will make an All-NBA team in most years, which seems to go against the point of the award.

    I agree with other people that 3 All-Defense teams makes more sense.

      I’m just imagining players like Derozan being eligible for the Supermax after they make the 4th all nba team lol
