This is pretty awesome. You're drafting a team from literally everyone in NBA history. You can even try it without access to the stats.

Each round begins with a slot machine that randomly assigns a team and decade combination. You then select the best available player from that team in that era. The game consists of five rounds — one for each roster position.

From there, you pick players from each decade from the '60s until now, and then it runs a simulated 82-game season.

I've spent about two hours playing with it today. Ridiculously fun.

I just went 73-9, think you can go 82-0?

This is very addictive. My first team had Jordan, Duncan, and Brunson and somehow was only projected to have 56 wins.

reply

Brunson doesn't get a lot of credit. I had a team with Lebron, Jordan and Brunson and it was only projected to win 62. My best score is still 73-9.

reply

It probably didn't help that it was Wizards' Jordan and 2010's Duncan.

Here's my best one so far, both by record and by fun:

The full promise of Russ, Harden, and KD is finally unleashed!

Semi-related: have you posted to collect picks for the finals?

Thank you!

wow, nice

I am still trying for 82-0 but I also want to try to make the worst team possible.

I could definitely see doing this for a long time. Very low friction and quick iterations. Creators took inspiration from TikTok or some other addicting platform lol

reply

Sucks when you use a great player at a spot and then can't use an all timer on the next spin. I just missed out on Bill Russell because I thought it was clever to put KG at C.

Best one so far.

Pretty fun, but I just wish they'd sort the players by PPG or overall score or something, since it's annoying to scan through dozens and dozens of no-name players.

Please stop giving me the Grizzlies and the Pelicans.
