Draft Class Alumni League Roster Set

[MikeRo72]

Thanks to the 'Last Dance' documentary; the MJ vs Lebron debate has taken on new life. The Mt. Rushmore of the NBA is discussed more than ever now. And the arguments of who was/is better usually leads to arguments like: different eras had different rules, the game is played fundamentally different than it once was, today's athletes are physically superior, but yesterday's athletes were much tougher and played what was then more of a contact sport. All true.

With all that said, I wondered how today's players would fair against the vaunted draft class of say 1996, or 1984. Which era would play better over a simulated season? So I decided to make a roster set... Since the NBA goes back to 1949 and BAA/NBL to 1946 it isnt feasible to make 1 team per draft year. So I doubled up the draft years put together a 32 team Roster set of Draft year teams. The result is IMO a fun, stacked, interesting set of teams.

Personally, I look forward to playing out a season to see what draft classes end up on top, and by extension, see how the eras stack up against each other. But I am also interested in this community's feedback and recommendations.

*PLEASE NOTE I have 2 teams left to complete, I should have the rosters completed by the end of this weekend. (May 10)

As soon as I put the finishing touches I will post the file name for the roster set.

Okay, here goes....
