82-0 basketball game trends — and reminds everyone of Warriors' Wilt Chamberlain legend status

A new basketball game is taking social media by storm, and it's called 82-0.

It's also reminding everyone how great Wilt Chamberlain was with the Warriors -- not in Golden State, but in Philadelphia before they team moved out West.

First, the game for those uninitiated, can be found at 82-0.com.

It uses a randomizer to select a decade and a franchise -- and then you select a player from that team in that decade.

For example, if 1960s Warriors is what you get, you can take Chamberlain.

You get five spins, and you have to fill out a starting lineup. Some players are eligible at multiple positions (PG, SG, SF, PF, C), and some just at one.

Once you have your lineup, a simulation system shares what your record would be over an 82-game NBA regular season.

The goal is to go 82-0.

Social media users have already taken on other goals, too, like going 0-82 or 41-41.

It's that 82-0 mark that shows just how dominant Chamberlain is viewed by the simulation. One user had Bronny James in his starting five and still went 82-0:

It's definitely a cool social experiment to see which players correlate in minds with which teams in which eras. 

It's also a reminder of the greatness of some forgotten legends, or even the sneaky goodness of some unheralded hoopers.

And hey, if you want to just throw your favorite player in there, you might get the chance.

There are no prizes or anything, just bragging rights.

So go give it a whirl, and if you get the chance to take 1960s Wilt, he's definitely a cheat code.
