82-0, 17-0 and More Fun Roster Games for NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and Every Top Sport

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.

It all started with the NBA version of those games with 82-0 and SixRings being the most popular choices.

From there, the offerings have expanded to 20-0 Challenge and 17-0 on FirstDown.studio for the NFL, Diamond-Draft's 162-0 for MLB, CapWages.com's 82-0 for the NHL, The Perfect Team for college football, 32-0 for college basketball, 38-0 for soccer and MainEventer.com for pro wrestling.

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.
