There are no duplicate players and Ray Allen's best years were definitely in Seattle.

All-Time Cavs

PG Mark Price 1993 1st Team All NBA
SG Ron Harper 1987
SF Mike Mitchell 1981 All Star

PF Tristan Thompson 2016
C Zydrunas Ilgauskas 2003 All Star

Reserves

PG Terrell Brandon 1996 All Star
SF John Johnson 1971 All Star

This team took a big hit when LeBron was placed in Miami. His best season (based on my criteria) was there when he won a championship and MVP in the same season, something he hasn't accomplished in Cleveland. The Cavs, even with Lebron, probably wouldln't have had the chops to stand against the best of the best. They are largely comprised of all stars, with only three players making All NBA Teams, and two of them were 3rd team guys. They are filled with very good players but no great ones. Don't look for this Cleveland squad to bring another championship to town in this all-time franchise roster.

Players that didn't make the roster but can be added via free agency:

C Jim Chones 1977
PF Kenny Carr 1980
PG Johnny Davis 1985
SF Phil Hubbard 1985
SF Roy Hinson 1986
PF Hot Rod Williams 1990
PG Andre Miller 2002

All-Time Celtics

Starters

PG Bob Cousy 1960 1st Team NBA
SG John Havlicek 1972 1st Team NBA
SF Larry Bird 1986 MVP
PF Dave Cowens 1973 MVP
C Bill Russell 1963 MVP

Bench

PG Rajon Rondo 2011 1st Team Defense
SG Sam Jones 1966 2nd Team NBA
SF Paul Pierce 2009 2nd Team NBA
PF Kevin McHale 1987 1st Team NBA
C Robert Parish 1982 2nd Team NBA

Reserves

PF Tom Heinsohn 1962 2nd Team NBA
PG Isaiah Thomas 2017 2nd Team NBA

This was one of the most difficult teams to put together because they have so many great players in their history that will make them incredibly difficult to beat. The players that DIDN'T make the team could form their own team that would still be better than most other teams. Boston ranks as the 2nd best team in this roster according to my weighting scale where each potential award players were chosen by was given a value then those values were added together. 3 MVP's starting in the front court with 2 first team All NBA players in the starting backcourt. This team comes at you with more size and more skill than most teams but also doesn't have the most athleticism. That being said, their skill, size, complimentary pieces, depth, and mix of old school and new school talent will be incredible on the digital hardwood.

Players that didn't make the roster but can be added via free agency:

SG Bill Sharman 1960 All Star

SF Ken Norman 1991
PF Elton Brand 2006 2nd Team All NBA
C DeAndre Jordan 1st Team All NBA

Reserves

PF Bob Kauffman 1971 All Star
SG JJ Redick 2016

To me, this team is Cleveland West. A lot of very good players, but their best players aren't great enough. McAdoo had an MVP season in 1975 but they only have two 1st Team All NBA players after him. This does look to be a fun team to play with as a lineup of Smith, Free, Crawford, Griffin, and Brand would bring some highlights. Unfortunately, I doubt they will bring enough wins to be above .500

Maravich, bro can you make the cf for the newest inductee into the Hall Of Fame Nick Galis? He still is the best player in my country.
Also can you share that Fasoulas and Giannakis cfs?

Yes, not problem. It´ll be a funny time for me I love retro, you know.

All-Time Celtics...

Is Dennis Johnson going to be at the Suns?

BTW I've told you how much I like your presentations, thinking of Red, wouldn't it be fun if you included the head coaches of each team as well

DJ's best season (according to awards) was not with the Suns, either. Try again

Sko and I were talking about coaches yesterday but they haven't been picked yet.

[Bayern]

Hahaha I see, since I didn't notice Vin Baker at the Bucks either, I'm guessing Seattle is getting a lot of love

They have been denied their beloved team but at least they're gonna be kicking @$$ at NBA2K14

[slimm44]

lol Yes, Seattle is gonna have a squad. They are probably my favorite team in this roster (but Kemp was by FAR my favorite all-time player). Although, I was wrong about DJ...he is in Phoenix.

Speaking of the Supersonics:

All-Time Supersonics

Starters

PG Gary Payton 2000 1st Team NBA
SG Ray Allen 2005 2nd Team NBA
SF Dale Ellis 1989 3rd Team NBA
PF Shawn Kemp 1996 2nd Team NBA
C Jack Sikma 1982 2nd Team Defense

Bench

PG Gus Williams 1982 1st Team NBA
SG Ricky Pierce 1991 All Star
SF Xavier McDaniel 1988 All Star
PF Spencer Haywood 1973 1st Team NBA
C Bob Rule 1970 All Star

Reserves

PF Vin Baker 1998 2nd Team NBA
SG Fred Brown 1976 All Star

I REALLY like this team. They have defense, they have scoring, they have shooting, they have Shawn Kemp aka Tupac of the NBA. This dude will dunk on your whole team with no regard for human life. Throw in depth at every position and you have a multitalented team that will probably not be as good as I want them to be...but I'm rolling with them anyway.

Players that didn't make the roster but can be added via free agency:

PG Walt Hazzard 1986 All Star
PG Lenny Wilkens 1971 All Star
PG Slick Watts 1976 2nd Team Defense
PF Mike Banton 1977
PF Lonnie Shelton 1982 All Star
PG Nate McMillan 1994 2nd Team Defense
SF Detlef Schrempf 1995 3rd Team NBA

[Bayern]

Wow you are a true Seattle loyalist, not a single Thunder player

I guess you are going by 31 Teams. Not complaining, more teams, more legendary players. Still it's kind of a unique exception considering the rest of the franchises are following the official NBA history line.

[slimm44]

Nope, Sko wanted the Thunder to be a separate team. We also combined the Pelicans and Hornets franchise into one franchise, the Hornets, to stay with 30 teams. I wanted to include the Thunder with Seattle, but, no dice.

[Bayern]

I know Seattle fans aren't touching NBA2K18

They sould step right here then!

[slimm44]

All-Time Suns

Starters

PG Steve Nash 2005 MVP
SG Dennis Johnson 1981 1st Team NBA
SF Shawn Marion 2006 3rd Team NBA
PF Charles Barkley 1993 MVP
C Amare' Stoudemire 2007 1st Team NBA

Bench

PG Kevin Johnson 1994 2nd Team NBA
SG Paul Westphal 1979 1st Team NBA
SF Connie Hawkins 1970 1st Team NBA
PF Tom Chambers 1990 2nd Team NBA
C Alvan Adams 1976 All Star

Reserves

SF Walter Davis 1979 2nd Team NBA
PF Larry Nance 1985 All Star

This team is LOADED. They have one of the best passers and shooters all time in Nash, a do-it-all combo guard in DJ, and possibly the most athletic frontcourt in the league with Marion, Chuck, and Stat. They are going to struggle against teams with dominant big men and/or bigger guards, but they will be able to run and score with anybody.

Players that didn't make the roster but can be added via free agency:

PG Charlie Scott 1973 All Star
SG Dick Van Arsdale 1974 2nd Team Defense
SG Ricky Sobers 1977
C James Edwards 1986
SF Eddie Johnson 1989 6th Man of the Year
SG Jeff Hornacek 1992 All Star
SG Dan Majerle 1993 2nd Team Defense
PF Clifford Robinson 2000 2nd Team Defense
C Robin Lopez 2010
SF Jared Dudley 2012
SG Devin Booker 2017
PG Eric Bledsoe 2017

WHERE CAN I DOWNLAOD THE RIK SMITIS AND KEVIN JOHNSON ALSO THE RETRO OLYMPICS CYBERFACE THANKYOU

[trizio81]

mmmm....it's strange to see All-Time Cavs roster without Lebron,All Time Bucks roster with Bogut and no Alcindor,Clippers without CP3.....mmmm

[slimm44]

mmmm....it's strange to see All-Time Cavs roster without Lebron,All Time Bucks roster with Bogut and no Alcindor,Clippers without CP3.....mmmm

Lebron's two best seasons came in Miami (MVP and championship).
The Bucks don't have Kareem because his best seasons were in LA (MVP and championship)
The Clippers don't have CP3 because his best season by award was in NO. He has been 1st team All NBA in NO and LAC, but earned the most MVP shares in 2008 in NO and that was also his best statistical season, by a very slim margin.

Those were difficult choices to make but were the right ones based on the criteria I chose (1st highest award won, 2nd championship season or not, 3rd statistics).

If you prefer alternate players on rosters, feel free to trade or reassign players when the roster is released.

Please stop with the eye rolls. That is petty. I work two full-time jobs, have a full-time ministry, 4 kids, and a wife to take care of. I do this because I enjoy the game and I am kind enough to share my work with people who do the same, even when they are petty. Please stop being petty.

[truefaith0826]

This is really really good stuff slim! Excellent decision making where to put a great player that had been into different teams, that's a tough one. I agree with your criteria in selecting a player and where to put them. Thank you for doing this, nothing but praise on your hardwork!

Some of them have definitely been harder than others. I've just stuck to the criteria and figure users can make their own changes as they see fit when it's done. Thanks for the appreciation, man. It helps.

Couldn't agree more, especially on lebron, that's confusing where to put him. He put respect on Cleveland team and achieved Finals for the 1st time in 2007 and always a playoff contender. But when he was in Miami, his numbers just got better and achieved his 1st championship. So wtf, where do I put this guy.

What I really like on your project is no duplicate players, odd to see Lebron Cavs guarding Lebron Heat. LOL.

Have a question though, are you planning to limit the jerseys as well?
