Two ways to play

All-time legends by position

These names anchor most lineups that crack 82-0. The slot machine decides which version of each star ends up on your roster — Magic in his 1980s Showtime peak hits different from Magic 1991, and Wilt's 60s reb numbers carry an entire frontcourt.

Frequently asked

Can a lineup actually go 82-0?

Yes — if the cumulative totals across PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLK all clear our calibrated thresholds. Even a GOAT-tier roster has to balance scoring volume with defensive presence to sweep. Magic + MJ + LeBron + Duncan + Kareem only lands at 59-23 because the points threshold is brutal.

How accurate is the simulation?

It's a stat-aggregation model, not a possession-by-possession simulator. Lineups are ranked by raw production. Synergy, fit, pace, defensive scheme — not modeled. The fun lives in the 'what if' more than in the precision.

Are old-era stats normalized?

Career averages are pulled as-is. Pre-1974 players (no steals or blocks recorded) get reasonable estimates. Modern pace inflation is not normalized — Wilt averaging 30 PPG in the 60s lands as 30, same as MJ in the 90s.

Why can I pick out-of-position players?

The slot locks the team-decade pool, not the position. You can stack a Wilt and Kareem frontcourt in the PG and SG slots if the spin lets you — the engine just sums the stats. Off-position picks are marked muted in the grid so the position-matching options stay obvious.
