NBA 2k17 had the Golden State Warriors winning “only” 58 games this season.
But that’s just based on a simulation of the entire year by Tony Xypteras of Uproxx.com. Its simulator took care of literally everything. So, all results here are without any human influence.
It’s true that everyone with a copy of the game can do his own simulation, but this one in particular holds a number of interesting results.
Let’s start off with the conference standings and put focus on the West, where the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder curiously finished last and second in the conference, respectively.
In case you haven’t noticed from the East standings above, the process-trusting Philadelphia 76ers actually made the playoffs as the sixth seed.
On to the awards, let’s see how this simulation compare with our own fearless forecasts.
How on Earth could John Wall take over Stephen Curry? Your guess is as good as everyone else’s.
Makes sense with the Thunder finishing second in the West despite losing Kevin Durant to the Warriors.
Must have taken a phenomenal effort from Ben Simmons in winning this award despite the injury.
And the icing on the cake goes to Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers for winning this simulation's championship.
