Just like we did with the All-Star rosters, we’re showing how the All-NBA Teams would look as of today according to Global Rating, an advanced metric that evaluates the performance of every player during the season.
The All-NBA Teams will be updated every day considering the rules regarding positions. Each one will have two guards, two forwards and one center. Just for fun, we’re going deeper and coming up with how a 5th, 8th or 10th All-NBA Team would look like.

Playing on Christmas Day is widely regarded as an opportunity for players to gain more visibility and acclaim. For many NBA stars, this has become an annual tradition. However, this isn’t the case for everyone.
Here’s a list of All-Stars who, surprisingly, never had the chance to showcase their skills in a Christmas Day game during their careers.
The West Linn native has been an elite shooter and passer as far back as his time with West Linn High School – see for yourself in this clip!
For most fans of the Boston Celtics, our knowledge of combo guard Payton Pritchard began when then-President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge picked the Oregon standout at No. 26 in the 2020 NBA draft.
But the West Linn native did not become adept at his craft overnight, having been an elite shooter and passer as far back as his time with West Linn High School, where Pritchard earned 2014 and 2015 Todd Pratt Player of the Year, Oregon Class 6A Player of the Year and 2015 Gatorade Oregon Player of the Year awards.
A knockdown shooter with elite court vision at that level, Fast PP (as he is sometimes called) likely caught the Celtics’ scouts’ eye that far back in his career. Especially Ainge’s, given he, too, is an Oregonian point guard a little short in stature (if not moxie).
Check out the clip of the Celtics’ long-range assassin going ham on opponents in high school to see how long it’s been since Pritchard was a threat on the hardwood for yourself.
