Team Selection
Players will select their teams using the random team feature twice and select one of two teams generated. If you get the same team twice, you may randomize one more time. If you don’t want both of the two teams generated, you may do a third randomization as a ‘suicide’ option to pick a team that you must use. Current NBA teams only.
