I got just under 160 and I had the same reaction as you--I had to go through all the 90s Bulls roster before I remembered li'l BJ. I had a lot of trouble filling up the kings, bucks, mavericks and wizards/bullets rosters... I feel sorry for those franchises!
178. Not too shabby, but after a while, I stopped paying attention to the team, and just started listing great players.
163. Damn you Wally Szczerbiak, and completely forgot about Iverson. Good to see some forgotten players there....Laettner, Gugliotta, Blaylock.
