Fans of every major sport have spent the past several days dedicating hours to numerous online games that test their ability to build a roster capable of delivering a perfect season.<\/p>\n
It all started with the NBA version of those games with 82-0<\/a> and SixRings<\/a> being the most popular choices.<\/p>\n From there, the offerings have expanded to 20-0 Challenge<\/a> and 17-0 on FirstDown.studio<\/a> for the NFL, Diamond-Draft’s 162-0<\/a> for MLB, CapWages.com’s 82-0<\/a> for the NHL, The Perfect Team<\/a> for college football, 32-0<\/a> for college basketball, 38-0<\/a> for soccer and MainEventer.com<\/a> for pro wrestling.<\/p>\n There is little doubt that 82-0 for the NBA has gained the most traction, as NBA players and teams have referenced it on social media.<\/p>\n The Chicago Bulls posted an 82-0 team composed entirely of Bulls legends, led by Michael Jordan, while the Golden State Warriors made mention of the importance of legendary center Wilt Chamberlain in 82-0:<\/p>\n Since Chamberlain averaged 41.5 points and 25.1 rebounds per game over six seasons with the Warriors in the 1960s, having him on an 82-0 roster essentially became a cheat code of sorts.<\/p>\n Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton joked that he was done with 82-0 after he created a team made up of five of the greatest players of all time, only to end up with a 77-5 record:<\/p>\n Few things are more fun for a sports fan than testing their knowledge and playing the role of a general manager, which is likely why the roster-building games have gained such rapid popularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans of every major sport have spent the past several days dedicating hours to numerous online games that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":727841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-727840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=727840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/727841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=727840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=727840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=727840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
