It’s been one heck of a decade for Michigan State basketball and Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo. Who makes up the Spartans’ all-2010s starting five?

Michigan State basketball fans have been spoiled for the past decade. Well, if we’re being honest, they’ve been spoiled for the past two-plus decades, but hey, who’s counting?

The Spartans have made every NCAA Tournament, won four Big Ten Tournament titles as well as four regular season crowns and made three Final Fours. While this may not have been the most successful decade in Tom Izzo’s career, it just goes to show how elite this program is and the players that have contributed to all this success have made it that way.

How much longer will Izzo be coaching? It’s hard to say, but he’s pieced together one of the most impressive 2010s decades of any program.

As previously mentioned, there have been some All-Americans come through East Lansing but which players are the best of the bunch? If you were to piece together your all-decade starting five for Michigan State, who would make the cut?

Michigan State has plenty of options at every position, but it was especially loaded at the guard spots, namely point guard.
