Great job on this man. One small correction, Bison Dele didn't change his name until 1998, his final NBA season. Prior to that he was Brian Williams. Ended up being an odd character who was allegedly murdered at sea by his brother.

[Goffs]

I think you should've bolded the missing players instead so that way the roster guys can just look at this list and create the missing players.

thanks for the list

EDIT: looking at that list i want to create Pat Riley for the Lakers...i hope the CAP gives us some 60's, 70's and 80's hairstyle

Wow, that's random and tragic. I don't know who Bison Dele is, and I just copied the rosters from Basketball Reference so it's their mistake. And yeah, I just thought it would be helpful to have a full list of rosters, both for myself and other posters here. When you look at who they chose, it really is an impressive list that is full of great players and teams. Obviously, they might have left out a few people and teams but overall they did a great job.

It's very sad...Bison Dele (Brian Williams) helped the Bulls big time that one year he played with them...he was a very good basketball player and died a very mysterious death... But yeah thanks alot for this info...2k did a hell of a job, I just wish Miller and Barkley weren't *** holes to not want to be on the game....I also wish Allen Iverson, Charles Smith, Rick Fox and Nick Van Exel were on the game as well....oh well i'll take it.

So Rick Fox and Nick Van Exel aren't on the 98 Lakers? Why not? If true, that really sucks because that 97-98 Laker team would be really fun to use.

[captain smudge]

On da 88-89 piston squad im sure vinnie johnson was a key player he hit a few game winners for em

[dan04103]

Combine these with PB/MK's roster creation genius, and Hokupguy's hex wizardry and I have a feeling this year is going to be ****!
