I'm not going to even bother on the others. Not for now, at least.. haha. Great idea, though!

I'm a tad surprised to see a trend of teams (the 1990s bulls, 2000 lakers, 06 heat, the spurs - the biggest one, ) with players past their prime that come off the bench.

Also, I think someone else already did "starters" or something similar, but I wanted to basically make one of the most epic NBA quizzes on Sporcle. I don't think anyone could possibly get all the answers correct without cheating (the stats say 1.2% of people are getting 100% correct, but I'm pretty sure it's bogus because the distribution is fairly normal through 90% correct, and then no one has 90+% until you get to 100%... To me, that screams "looking it up").

A general suggestion, Neil: Make these things small enough that they all fit on the screen? It's tough to keep scrolling back and forth from the reply box down to the lower areas.

Also, it's too big a chunk of time to concentrate for that long.
Maybe just ask for 'starters' or top 5 per team?

Basically I just dumped a huge spreadsheet into the "import data" tool, and gave it a cursory once-over, so there are probably a few cases like that; for instance, I changed it to accept "Alcindor" for Jabbar in 1971. Let me know if you find any others.
