Gigabyte's NBA Forever Roster v1.0 - RELEASED!

[StormsWarning]

Guys! I got a problem with Denver's roster. Dikembe Mutombo and Kiki Vandeweghe both wore #55 with the Nuggets. And both of them don't have any alternate numbers that can be used (even in college). What should I do? To whom should I give the 55 and what should I assign to the other one who doesn't get it?

thats easy lol Dikembe best blocker in the 90's period

What number should I give Vandeweghe then?

Well, his father wore #9 for the Knicks.

I have an easy way to combat the problem with Kiki. He was drafted by Dallas. He then stated he would never play for Dallas and demanded a trade. He was on the Mavericks roster until December.

I think I'll stick with giving him either #9 or #18, his father's numbers for the Knicks. After all, "he would never play for the Mavs," right?

Funny thing is that his first non-player NBA job ended up with him being a part of the front office for the Mavs.

Got more number problems with the Pacers. *facepalm* Alright, me thinks me will settle this later on. Anyways, me is currently ranking hall-of-famers, all-stars, and non-all-stars so we can have some slots for today's players that aren't in the all-time rank. Will be posting updates soon. Thanks.

UPDATE: Just finished adding current players to the previous "drafts" to complete the rosters.

- The Suns are lacking two players for a 15-man roster, while the Bobcats, Heat, and Hornets all lack one apiece.
- More number conflicts exist between MKG and D.J. Augustin, Iman Shumpert and Wilson Chandler, Paul George and Rik Smits, among others.
- The Cats have an awful lot of swingmen (SG/SF's and SF/SG's), with only Emeka and Primoz Brezec as centers.
- Bulls look defensively supreme, with MJ, Pippen, Gilmore, World Peace, and Tyson Chandler on their roster.
- Houston goes epic on its big men with Hakeem, Moses Malone, and the Great Wall of Yao.
- T-Wolves looking good with two Kevins as 4 and 5.

That's the rundown for now. I'll try to work on the roster proper as soon as I can. But I am quite busy right now, though.

[Gigabyte]

I've always enjoyed these all time rosters. I'm looking forward to the release!

Thanks, meepichi. I hope you stick around!

Not quite sure about that, since I have to work on a lot of things other than this. I'll try to work on it faster, though.

I think you should give the number to the players that have more all star appierences then give the player without the number they either wore in college in high school and if it is the same one then just give them the number right after it or the one before it

I had already thought of that before and I'm glad to see that another one does so too. Adding to what you've said, I think we should instead give players some numbers related to them or some people in their lives. You can see an example with Kiki Vandeweghe above in this page. Just assigning numbers after or before what they actually wore will make things irrelevant. I hope you understand.

And this method is just gonna be a last resort, btw.

Other players who may appear but are not in this list are either hidden within an official roster, actively playing in the NBA today, don't have the required CF's, or something like that. Me will be starting to work through the game now. Essentialy, that means filing the biodata for players is pretty much done and I'll be working on the roster ITSELF. 'Till next update then.

Will Dražen Petrović be in this roster, if yes..will he be in Blazers(drafted) or Nets(retired his #3 jersey)?

Petrovic will be in here, though he will be with the Nets, because the Blazers didn't retire his #44. He does have an in-game version already, just leaving me to clone him instead of totally creating a new one out of scratch. That's also why he's not in the list above.

Thanks. He is a Net first, Blazer last Adelman hated him but Daly gave him minutes and he shot better than MJ both of his full seasons with Nets.

p.s. his shooting and defense should be better than in his Blazer days.

Really? According to B-R he was a Blazer first: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/petrodr01.html. Anyway, I got the attribute boost noted.
