Can you go 82-0? “The objective of 82-0 is to construct a historical NBA roster capable of achieving a perfect undefeated season.” You get to “draft” 5 players from randomly chosen teams & decades, then that team plays a simulated season.

I managed 82–0 with a lineup of Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and … Archie Clark? Let’s look him up on Wikipedia. “Father of the crossover dribble.” Okay then!

Am I really supposed to believe that a team of 90s Jordan, 80s Bird, 00s Dwight Howard, 90s Ewing, and 70s Tiny Archibald could only go 72-10, matching the 96 bulls? P. Shaw.

Your 90s Jordan had bronchitis and a fever of 105 degrees and your 80s Bird had severe back spasms during a key stretch of games in February.

Lol.

Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, James Harden and Terry Cummings (d'oh) and I still lost five games! The NBA really is fixed...

Anybody else trying to go 0-82?

Just did 11-71 on my first so there's promise.

LOL @Kevin! I got to 5-77 and I’ll stop there. (I knew none of the players on the team.)

that's legitimately impressive!

4-78. With 90s Chris Garner, 80s Oliver Robinson, 70s Odis Allison, 10s Darnell Jackson, and 80s Granville Waiters

Tyrese Haliburton posted that he got 00s LeBron, 10s Kobe, 90s Jordan, 80s Bird & 80s Moses and went 77-5. How is that not an 82-0 team?

I’ve been trying without success to get a team with LeBron or KD at three different positions

I just got 82-0. https://www.82-0.com/share?id=OgXcqdSTCYDrRPodnfOn
If you get 1960s Wilt Chamberlain, it’d be hard not to (41.5 ppg!, 25 rpg!), even with Fat Lever as my point guard 😆

Jeremy Wallace

Wilt with the Warriors in the 1960s is the exploit here. Quite happy with my Luka, Lebron, Sharef, Vince, and Wilt lineup.

How did I not know about World B. Free?

Thunderbird Hotel

Wow that is addicting. Hit 82-0 with:
20s Luka / 20s Donovan Mitchell / 60s Elgin Baylor / 20s Anthony Davis / 20s Jokic

Jason KottkeMOD

Whoa, this is the first 82-0 I've seen without Wilt.

Thunderbird Hotel

Elgin is the new Wilt?

Went 82-0 with 20s Giannis (counts as a PG!?), 80s MJ, 70s Rick Barry, 00s C-Webb, 70s Kareem

Seth Langton

82-0 with 80s Magic, 20s Jaylen Brown, 90s Malone, 60s Chamberlain and ...70s Billy Cunningham?

82-0 again with with Wilt cheat code. '60s wilt, 20s Luka, 2000s Wade, 2010s Dwight Howard, and 2000s Lamar Odom at small forward. I feel like you could have put basically anyone at SF with that lineup and not lost. Like, nobody is getting a rebound against these guys ever.
