NBA Live Legend All-Stars Teams is a video game feature on the NBA Live video games series (since NBA Live 2000). It gathers five teams, each representing a decade, starting from the 1950s. Each team consists of great (although not necessarily the greatest) players from that era. Most of the players had been inducted into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame or named NBA 50 Greatest Players.
