I was always the Cavs. Price never missed from 3 and Daugherty had clutch dunks.

Got 41. Holy cow were the Bucks, Kings and Mavs terrible (though I got Harper). Have to admit I only got Harvey Grant b/c they gave it to me with Horace.

I also preferred the Warriors--Mullin from three was unstoppable.

I played the TE much more, which I used the knicks (starks, ewing, and oakley, if I remember correctly) and the sonics (payton, detlef, and kemp). Those 2 teams or the rockets were pretty good as I remember.
On the original, with the hornets, I would have used Mourning with LJ, Dell Curry (lights out @ 3), or Muggsy (why not have the shortest player in the game ?! He was at least a decent producer at the time) .

As I looked back on the 92-93 magic stats, I was surprised to find skiles did have a solid year then, but I thought Nick Anderson deserves the nod.

I got 39 (born in 85). No clue how Mike Iuzzolino got in the game! That's probably the only one I really wouldn't have known. Also thought laimbeer and worthy had retired by then. Can't believe I forgot petrovic, gill, and manning.

Gabe, I can understand Scott Skiles although I probably would have gone for Nick Anderson or maybe even Dennis Scott. The omission of Alonzo Mourning, however, seems curious at best.

More importantly, who was your favorite team to use in the game? Who do you think was the best team in the game?

My fave was the Warriors: Chris Mullin had a perfect 3-point-shot rating, and Hardaway never had the ball stolen.

Will - who would you have put in for those Hornets and Magic teams, instead of the given players? I think those were the right choices for those 4 players.

I got 40, but I was kicking myself for missing Danny Manning, Sean Elliott, Dikembe, and Charles Oakley. I definitely didn't remember Brad Lohaus, Blue Edwards, Mike Iuzzolino, etc. being in that game. Wayman Tisdale is much more memorable as a great human being and a fine bass player than for his pro career and his appearance in NBA Jam, which isn't a bad legacy to have in the end.

Very fun.
I had 35. (born in 86).

I can't believe a few of those names (one of the mavs - played 122 games in his career!, 1 of the bucks, one of the sonics, ) actually appeared on the video game !

Only a couple that I shouldn't have missed)

There were multiple instances where the top 2 players on the team weren't chosen (hornets, magic, t'wolves, sonics, mavs).
