What would other NBA's best players be?

The BB developers actually had their own estimates a long time ago. Here is LeBron in 2008 (64098.8):

Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: awful
Outside Def.: strong Handling: prominent
Driving: legendary Passing: prodigious
Inside Shot: prolific Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: prominent

Experience: legendary

seems a little bit exaggerated although quite similar to the 90 in TSP I put. Looks like they had him at about 100 tsp which is true but I think the passing is way to high

I actually think that they are too low since LeBron easily reaches the hall of famer potential and is arguably an all time great. But I guess the skills are relative.

I also thought that passing is high, but the BB game engine does not give out that much assists. Aside from that the experience is high for me, but it is reachable if he plays 82 games + playoffs a season instead of 22 + playoffs.

There should be a fantasy league where the top 50 NBA players are created here on BB (with NBA permission) and they are just acquirable by random at draft.

What does anyone think Karl Anthony Towns would be?

Haven't seen him play too much this season, but here is my guess:

12/5/10/11/13/11 - 14/13/15/8

Bit high for a rookie, right? That would make him 112 TSP meaning he's MILES better than LeBron in big categories such as Inside defense, inside and jump shot, as well as rebounding.

Stephen Curry

Rebounding: awful Shot Blocking: awful

Dude, please... that's D.III player, not a very good one. The best 3pt scorer that game ever seen and you give him js/jr 15/16. And have no idea why only 4 in OD, he is a decent defender. The best players in BB have tsp=140-150 so imo he should look more like:

20+/20+
16/20
18/20
10/9
4/2
tsp=139

Russell Westbrook
Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: proficient Handling: respectable

Mr. triple-double with 6 in rebounding? You really didn't think that through.
