If you're a regular on this sub, you may remember my post about the GOAT LeBron I encountered (100 OVR). Well, today that LeBron was upstaged. Please allow me to introduce you to Devin Patton of the Rio de Janeiro Capybaras (Insane Difficulty; no God Mode).

While Devin only peaked at 97 OVR, his statistical output, longevity, and achievements all dwarfed those of GOAT LeBron. Devin retired at 52 years old, having won the championship in every season other than his rookie year. He won 29 straight MVPs (out of 33 seasons) and 21 straight DPOYs. He never missed an All-League or All-Star team. And he spent 15 years as the oldest player in the league.

GOAT LeBron's career win shares totaled 694.7 (891.3 if you include playoffs)... I had never seen numbers that high in any other sim or post on this subreddit. Devin Patton makes LeBron's stats look pedestrian. His total win shares across the regular season and playoffs? An unfathomable 1,098.3.

The more I type, the more I fear that I'm diluting his utter dominance. I've simulated thousands of BBGM seasons. I have never seen a player like this... and I challenge this community to find one who would rival the inimitable Devin Patton.

Check out Mighty Mouse over here. Not my player sadly.

After 20 years of continuous playoff appearances and 5 championships later, fired for going way over the luxury tax limits. Can’t help if I ended up with such amazing talent.

The five rings are 100% worth it. Now back to the job market

Yall seen higher?

After nearly 2000 seasons, I managed to win 1000 titles! I started this league back in February 2024 and have played nearly ever day since. I started it in year 10000, as I used to have an old league that I played over 4000 seasons in, but unfortunately I stopped being able to open it. I played my old league from 2016 until I created this new league in 2024, and only managed to win around 950 titles during that time.

I created this league with the goal of trying to win 1000 titles in less than 2000 seasons, as I felt I have improved at the game a lot since, but barely achieved it. I play on normal mode, but I try to make the game more realistic and challenging by being loyal to star and long term players, and not trading them away for younger players when they get older. I also only make trades that the AI proposes.

I'd like to thank u/dumbmatter for creating a game that I have literally spent thousands of hours playing over the years. Maybe I'm just a sports sim nerd, but this game never gets old to me. I feel like each season offers something new and I can get immersed every time I play, thinking of all the possible stories and events that occur over the course of the season.

I'm not sure if I'll ever get to 2000 titles, but I'm not planning on quitting this game anytime soon. I really appreciate the simplicity of this game and how it can be easily accessed over a browser.

I don't normally post on Reddit (ever), but this is way too insane to not share. I've played years of Basketball Gm and have seen 2 naturally generated 90 overalls. Now I have two 87+'s in one league!!

Has the most championships, most MVPs, most FMVPs, most Conference Finals MVPs, most DPOYs, most All-NBA teams, most All-Defensive Teams, most All-Stars, most All-Star MVPs, most scoring titles, and most steals titles of any player. He also had over 50K points (most in my league), almost 5K steals (also most in my league), 12k rebounds (good for 23rd most), 16K assists (most in my league), 1.3K blocks (41st most), and was only 11th in turnovers while playing the fourth-most games and the most minutes played in history and tied for the second-most seasons played. And as you can see on the GOAT chart, he completely shattered the GOAT debate, having 400 more GOAT points than the second-best player of all time. He peaked at a 95 overall

He also went 12-2 in the Finals, winning a FMVP in a loss after nearly coming back down 3-0 (after coming back down 3-0 in the conference semifinals), then leading the 39-43 Trail Blazers to a ring two seasons after, and then coming back down 3-1 in the Finals two seasons after that, which was all accomplished at 34+ years old

The last picture shows how insane his longevity was. I forced him to retire after the 2079 season because he was regressing so slowly that at that point, he was gonna play until he was 50

Will probably never see a player as good as him again in any of my saves

Also featuring the Bucks making the unluckiest trade of all time four years before he was even drafted

This is insane

Second best player I've ever drafted overall, and the best second round pick I've ever seen by far.

My undisputed BB GM goat. I’ve never had a player hit 100 without god mode before. Almost averaged over 40 for 12 seasons in a row (39.7 in 2014).

He had a 91/9/9 game in the 2018 playoffs.

A 79/29/6/9/5 game in the 2009 regular season.

A 69/15/13 game in the 2015 regular season.

He had around 900 games eligible for statistical feats, so it’d take a while to detail all of his amazing games lol.

I wanted him to take his talents to south beach for a little so I traded him to Miami but then traded back at the deadline so he could finish out his career in LA. Ask me anything about his career

Not even joking

Someone else posting their GOAT player here made me wanna do mine. Steve here tore his achilles in his age 30 season then tore his ACL 4 years later and still ended up 14x 1st team all nba, 9x first team all defense, 7x MVP, 3x DPOY. Absolute beast. Bill Russell shit.

Anyone else have a GOAT player to show off?

I'm honored that i'm the one who discovered this guy early lol (mavs) in an early trade, now he's a beast.

Finally went 82-0 in a league without using God-Mode!!! Took way too long considering I only play on normal difficulty most of the time.

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT INDEED, ANOTHER LOTTERY WENT WASTED, BYE LEBRON

I've started playing some days ago, and found this game really amusing. This post is probably an overreaction of a newbie for y'all, but decided to do it anyway.

Just wanted to share my championship team - this is the first league I've made, real players starting in the 2018 draft lottery with the Kings (sadly only got the 7th pick, and traded away to the Lakers on Draft night - they drafted Mikal Bridges, who won two rings with them).

After 5 straight seasons making the Playoffs, peaking in a Conf Finals 3-4 loss as 3rd seed with a squad that featured All-Stars Cassius Winston (who?), Will Barton and Skal Labissiere, the difficulty in handling finances coupled with three subpar seasons whitout making in to the postseason, I got fired.

My options were limited, and I choose the team with the worst record in the league for the last 2 seasons, and therefore the highest chance in a loaded 2026 draft. The Milwaukee Bucks, a team with a bright future ahead with then 2nd pick overall Dylan Harper (63 ovr, 80 pot) and a solid young core. The lottery smiled to us and with the 3rd pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the new Bucks GM selected Darryn Peterson (54/74).

The preseason made me even more optimistic with this team, as the dynamic backcourt grew well over my expectations during the summer, with Harper spurting to 72/84 and Peterson to 63/82. With the additions of seasoned veterans Oladipo and two-times NBA Champion and former two-times All-Star Rodney Hood, we were poised for success - or so I thought: despite great individual seasons from Harper (24/6.5/6, 2 stocks and only 2.2 TO on 37mpg) and Peterson (22/4.6/1.6, 1.5 stocks on 36mpg), the season finished with another rock-bottom record for the Bucks - a 23-59 record and again, the last seed in the East.

I wasn't panicking yet, but to my surprise the Draft Lottery followed real life's changes and we ended up with no chance for a top-5 pick AND falling all the way to the worst possible 12th spot, picking a weak F 43/63 prospect that dropped to 39/59 when season started.

Looking back to the prior season, I just didn't see the double volume-scorer-SG duo taking us to the next level, and made the decision to trade Peterson, who were a worse defender and more turnover-prone. The trade was a real robbery, essentially exchanging Darryn Peterson and filler into a complete 5-man lineup, a 6th man, and 5 future 2nd round picks. The players were:

PG Trae Young (59/59)

SG Ayo Dosunmu (75/76)

SFs Ace Bailey (63/71) and Will Riley (56/66)

F OG. Anunoby (54/54)

FC Caleb Swanigan (59/59)

The final roster was deep, 12 players with 50+ ovr and had a 95/100 Team rating. From there, the core of the roster for the next few years was set and we started having some success, jumping straight to a 51-31 record and 3rd place in the Conference in 2028. Come playoff time we got swept in the Conf Semi to a Detroit team that finished just 1W over us, but let's move on.

The following seasons ended as:

2029 - 46-36/7th, 0-4 in 1st Rd vs CHI (1st)

2030 - 52-30/3rd, 3-4 in Cf Finals vs CHI (1st)

2031 - 49-33/4th, 1-4 in Cf Semi vs CHI (1st)

2032 - 49-33/5th, 0-4 in Cf Semi vs MIN (1st

*The Bulls got us in the first three series, not gonna lie, but next season we finally managed to beat them 4-3 in the first round... Only to lose 0-4 to another 1st seed in the semis.

Without being able to beat Number 1 seeds for 4 straight years, the only choice was to try and get this 1st place ourselves.

By the time, the roster featured:

SG Dylan Harper (78/79), 26yo

- 1x MVP, 5x All-Star, 5x All-Def and best player in the NBA for 3yrs in a row

SG Ayo Dosunmu (65/65), 32yo

- 5x All-Star, 5x All-Def

C Patrick Ngongba II (62/63), 26yo

PF Jarace Walker (61/61), 29yo

G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (59/59), 34yo

- 3x All-Star, 1x All-Def

C Marcis Ponder (57/64), 24yo

SF Will Riley (57/59), 26yo

FC Caleb Swanigan (56/56), 35yo

A good, well rounded roster. But I had to make a choice, and pulled the trigger in the defining trade: packaged Dosunmu, Ngongba II and a 1st rounder for my old employers of the Kings during free-agency time for:

FC Victor Wembanyama (64/66), 29yo

- 7x All-Star, 3x All-Def and 7x BPG Leader

G Dash Danyels (62/67), 25yo

Danyels ended up rising to 67/71 and Wemby stayed stable at 63/63 by the start of regular season. On the court, the potential of this team was clear, but something was missing. By Mid-season, with us holding a solid 31-15 record, another trade sealed the final roster that ended winning it all in June - starter SF Ausar Thompson (57/57) and bench spark-plug SF Melvin Ajinça (53/53), which ended up leading the league in 3P% shooting at a 45.7% clip in 3.6 3PA/g.

We finished the regular season with a 29-7 run that included two 10-game win streaks, in route to a league-best 60-22 record.

In the Playoffs, we rushed past 8th seed DET 4-1 and swept 4th place ATL 4-0. In the Conference Finals, again the Timberwolves, but this time with home-court advantage on our side.

First game, 1-0. The next three games we got absolutely crushed by the opponents.

Down 1-3, looking totally helpless... But some fine-tuning adjusting in the rotation, reducing big men minutes and the magic happened: the comeback, every single game decided by 4 points or less.

That ended up being the real Finals, as the 7th seed Lakers managed to go from a Play-in team all the way to the NBA Finals - where we easily beat them 4-0.

That's it, your Milwaukee Bucks are crowned the 2033 NBA Champions behind Harper's iconic MVP and FMVP Season.

also the 2nd highest ovr rookie ive seen maybe first i dont really remember

i don't know how this guy slipped to me with the 4th pick, easily carried me to 5 straight chips alongside 2 other superstars i managed to nab
