About 82-0
What this site is
82-0 is a free browser game for basketball fans. You draft an all-time starting five from team-and-era pools, then the game projects how that roster would perform across an 82-game regular season. The perfect result is 82-0, but most strong lineups land below that because the draft format forces tradeoffs.
The site exists to make those tradeoffs playable. It is part trivia, part roster construction, and part simulation toy. The interesting question is not simply "who is famous?" It is whether five selected players cover scoring, creation, rebounding, defense, and positions well enough to produce a complete team.
What makes it useful
The game uses a structured player pool of factual per-game season averages, then presents that pool through a constrained draft. Because every pick is tied to a franchise and an era, the same player can be a great choice in one run and the wrong choice in another. That creates a repeatable strategy layer instead of a static list of all-time greats.
The supporting pages are written to help players understand those decisions. The guides explain roster shape, positional scarcity, skips, era pressure, and how to read the team and decade pages without overvaluing name recognition.
Editorial stance
82-0 does not publish rumors, betting advice, medical claims, financial claims, or news reporting. The written content is limited to game rules, strategy, data methodology, and basketball roster analysis inside this site. If a page discusses a player, it is in the context of the game and factual statistical records.
Corrections matter because a roster game is only fun when the available pools are clear and explainable. If you find a player assigned to the wrong team, era, or position, use the contact page and include the page URL plus the specific issue.
Independence
82-0 is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NBA, any team, or the NBPA. The site does not reproduce team logos, uniforms, player photos, or official marks. Player names and statistics are used as factual references.
