Legends Sports Universe Basketball Association

[GForce22]

The Legends Sports Universe Basketball Association for NBA 2k23 is comprised of 20 fictional teams comprised of more than 250 top players in NBA history. This initial season does NOT include ALL the greats...as is the case with all mods and dynasties I develop for the universe, it is designed to be played in a career mode setting. As such, players not included in this release will be included in future rookie draft classes, which I will also develop for download.
​
The LSUBA can be downloaded as a SCENARIO from 2kShare, and will include all the custom uniforms and arenas I created to give each team their own unique brand and style. The first draft class can also be downloaded as LSUBADraft1.

So this thread will cover my running of the LSUBA, and include news stories and stats from my web site, which you can find in the signature. It will also include links to live game broadcasts on the Legends Sports Universe YouTube Channel!

It's a 20 team league playing an 82-game schedule. Each conference has two divisions. The two division winners and the next two best records will make the playoffs.

The LSUBA tipped off with broadcasts for each team's first game, just to offer some familiarity. The rest of the way, I'll be doing a "Game of the Week" setup, until the playoffs when of course each game will be broadcast on the channel.

Hoping you'll follow along!

MCADOO, COBRAS STAKING EARLY CLAIM AS LSUBA'S TOP TEAM

In an 82-game season, it probably takes 20 or so games before you start to get a feel for the contenders and pretenders. So the LSUBA, in its inaugural season, is a few weeks away from that point.

But a couple of weeks in, the league's most talked about team is the Kansas City Cobras, who are off to a 6-1 start and put their skills on full display in this week's Game of the Week victory over Larry Bird and the Los Angeles Stars.

Leading the way has been Bob McAdoo, who earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors in the first opening week of the season and, through 7 games, leads the LSUBA in scoring with 26.1 points per game, along with 13.4 rebounds per game, good for second in the league behind the Boston Braves' Moses Malone - whose Braves handed K.C. their only loss.

McAdoo put up 17 points and 15 boards in the 89-80 win over Los Angeles, and though he leads the league in scoring it's been the rebounding - combined with that of Charles Barkley, who had 16 rebounds to go with his 18 points against the Stars - that has really made the Cobras a force.

"Strong down low," Bird said of the Cobras afterward. "You need to shoot well because even if you get some rebounds they wear you down."

The stats bore that out for the Stars, who were only outrebounded 59-55 in the loss in Kansas City. But the Cobras outscored them 52-30 in the paint.

"Nobody's going to outwork us down there," Barkley barked postgame. "Battle us and you'll pay a price."

Three Pointers

1. If the Cobras have made their case as the league's best team, the Arizona Arrows are making theirs as the league's worst. Arizona has started off the season 0-7, allowing a league worst 123.6 points per game. As one rival GM noted "they have Iverson and Harden and they're shorthanded with either of them on the floor defensively."

2. Don't tell the Boston Braves' Moses Malone that the Cobras are the league's best team...he doesn't want to hear it. "If I recall, we're the ones that handed them their L," he rightly observed. "So we'll just keep taking care of business."

3. The San Antonio Scorpions were humiliated at home on Opening Night in a 116-68 drubbing by the St. Louis Sting. But the Scorpions have rattled off four straight victories and, despite that opening performance, their offense - led by George Mikan and Bob Petit - ranks 3rd in the league.
