The legacy league was created to pit teams drafted by fellow RR members against each other and allow the general RR populous to vote on who would win this winner take all, single elimination game if all players were at their peak performance.
Each team drafted an 8 man roster. Each team provided a gameplan justification as to why they believe they should get your vote. Each team is allowed 1 post for "in game adjustments." The role of RR community is simple, vote for who you believe should win. Post justification if you want (encouraged) and weigh the pros and cons for all to see, but ultimately, your vote decides who will win this tournament of legends.

Miekenstein's Gameplan
Zeds team has an aversion to defense and we are going to exploit that with balls out offense. starting line-up curry, finley, shrempf, magic, mcAdoo. Every single player a ball handler/shooter/driver. Mostly running showtime with magic attacking webber like crazy, watching for the two 40% 3 point shooters and the 50% shooter or the lead the league in fg% jump shooting mcAdoo when help comes, again all players except mourning have averaged 4 assists a game, so passing against the wretched defense until the shot we want comes open is not a problem. when we have to go small magic can play the 5, like he did in the nba finals as a rookie. When forced in the half-court shrempf sets up in the post and scores, i implore you to check his video below. he would be the darling of the nba right now.
defense i am going to try and play the whistles to sub in mourning and noah as much as possible to foul shaq anytime we are in the penalty, if possible we will do this for their offensive sets as we can. when we get stuck with one of them on the offensive end, the offense will play the same just without mcAdoo.
