Five names decide everything here. Basketball is the shortest roster on the site, so there is no depth to hide behind and no bench to absorb a bad pick — the five you seat are the five that play all eighty-two nights.
Read the full story ↓5 seats: PG · SG · SF · PF · C. A starting five, one seat per position. Because the roster is this small, a single seat is a fifth of your team score, which is a far larger share than any seat carries in the twelve-man sports. Positional fit matters less than it looks: taking the strongest available player is usually right.
Each round opens one club era and shows the players who actually wore that uniform. Basketball's archive starts in 1947 — shorter than baseball or hockey — so the eras crowd together and a modern spin sits closer to the all-time greats than it would in another sport.
82 games — 82–0 for the sweep. Eighty-two games and no postseason: the regular season IS the run. Nobody in the real record has come near unbeaten, because eighty-two nights on a travelling schedule always contains one where the legs are gone and a lesser team is fresh.
The archive opens in 1947, the league's first season, and holds 463 hall-of-fame figures — more than any other professional league on the site. That is a shorter history than baseball or hockey, so a modern spin sits unusually close to the all-time names, and the board splits every franchise into the eras it actually fielded, including clubs that relocated or folded outright.
Per-game scoring moves with pace, so a 1960s line and a modern one cannot be compared raw. All-NBA selection is the steadier signal — it is what a player was voted at the time, by people watching the same league. How the ratings work · the full rulebook.

From the basketball record book: how long a pro career lasts, average NBA height, the tallest NBA players ever, the shortest NBA players ever, how many players are in the NBA and every perfect season.
Each round opens one club era and shows the players who actually wore that uniform. You seat a starting five in any order, then eighty-two games simulate at once.
Five — one per position, and no bench. That is the smallest roster on the site, which is why a single miss shows up so plainly in the result. Seats: PG · SG · SF · PF · C.
Winning all eighty-two. There is no postseason on this board, so the regular season is the whole run and one defeat anywhere ends it.
