Historical Rosters (or something like that)

[Alphasim]

I've been banging around a Classical Teams roster lately (with help from http://www.basketball-reference.com), with teams that more or less define an era in the NBA, with a few exceptions. Right now I'm building;

- Shawn Bradley
- Jason Kidd
Mid 90's Nuggets
- Dikembe Mutumbo
- Antonio McDyess
Early 90's Championship Pistons
- Isiah Thomas
- Joe Dumars
Mid 90's Warriors
- Latrell Sprewell
- Chris Mullen
Mid 90's Championship Rockets
- Hakeem Olajuwan
- Mario Ellie

- Jeff Hornicek
Mid/Late 90's Grizzlies
- Shareef Abur-Rahim
- Bryant Reeves
Mid/Late 90's Wizards/Bullets
- Chris Webber
- Gheorghe Muresan

(This list is not meant to be the top players per-team, but rather to better identify the timeframe I'm trying to work with. I'm also not conserned with the spelling on this list since it's just for an example.)

However, the reason I'm working on this is out of reverence for an old Historical Rosters mod (or something like that) that I loved. I played it on all of the NBA Lives around the end of the 90's. It included several rosters - each representing a year - going back about 15 years. It included jerseys, courts and more for each roster you loaded so you could play in old matchups and classic games. If anyone knows who made this, why they stopped, or if someone wants to pick up where they left off, I - and likely a large swath of this community - would be very grateful.

I'm a fan of those rosters and I've love to do them, but they're even more time consuming than the current rosters. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot once I've done a bit more in-depth work with the current rosters.
