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
Unless you make some of the All-Star only in name then you’re getting even less playing time for the bench guys
