bigdoc85 (original roster (v. 2-1) and latest update (v. 3) available on 2kshare and attached -- note v.3 is based on jd's improvements but keeps all of the current teams intact (Pacers / Suns) and eliminates any "black-armed" players due to using cyberfaces.

theg81 (jd@os - improved v.2-1 roster based on rotations in this thread -- see link below and attached roster file; adds historic Suns and Pacers teams (but lose current versions of those teams as a result); includes black-armed players).

-----------------------------------------------------
I have reviewed each legendary team and listed the full roster (no filler players) and the rotations I used for my classic rosters for 2k12 and 2k13 in this thread.

A NOTE ABOUT ROTATIONS: Rotations always require some discretion but I based them on actual statistics with a bit more weight given to playoff rotations. My objective is to create typical rotations with key players -- this is different from many other roster creators who simply use minutes played averages without taking into account that a particular player they may have assigned minutes to wasn't part of the regular rotation. If certain players only played periodically (in other words, they weren't a part of the regular rotation in nearly every game), unless it was based on injuries, I took them out of the rotation entirely which is why you will see a few players on each roster with no minutes played.
