2000s All-Decade Team

Since All-Decade Teams are chosen by members of the Hall of Fame Selection Committee, there are few metrics more reliable as a predictor of future Hall of Famers. As of 2026, 80% of Modern-Era Hall of Famers had been named to an All-Decade team. Conversely, 66% of All-Decade Team members prior to the 2010s have been enshrined in Canton (not including Special Teamers).
