I randomly chose 2 coaches and 2 dozen players from PLAAY’s 75 All-Time Great Set and played a game.

The Teams:

Team Popovich (Gregg Popovich, Coach)
Starters:
Steph Curry
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Lebron James
Nate Thurmond

Bench:
Nate Archibald
Oscar Robertson
Paul Arizin
Rick Barry
Paul Pierce
Moses Malone
Willis Reed

Team Daly (Chuck Daly, Coach)
Starters:
Gary Payton
Ray Allen
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Elgin Baylor
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Bench:
Bob Cousy
Jason Kidd
Sam Jones
Dave Debusschere
Dolph Schayes
Bob McAdoo
Robert Parish

Final Score:

Team Popovich 163
Team Daly 108

Team Daly started off leading the game early, but then a switch was flipped and Team Popovich dominated both offensively and defensively, leading by as much as 70+ at one point.

This is the first basketball game that I really enjoy playing, mostly due to the way the PLAAY engine works.

I may keep these two teams intact, and randomly assign the rest of the set to teams and run a round robin tournament.

As if I didn’t have more than enough sports replays running.

Stay tuned!
