Frequently Asked Questions
How many NBA teams are there?
There are 30 NBA teams: 15 in the Eastern Conference and 15 in the Western Conference, each conference split into three divisions of five. The Toronto Raptors are the only team outside the United States.
Can I get a random team for NBA 2K MyLeague or MyGM?
Yes, that is one of the most popular uses. Draw one team and commit to rebuilding it, or draw two teams for a quick head-to-head game with a friend.
How do I limit the draw to the East or West?
Each division in the menu is marked East or West. Pick a division to draw from it, or use All for the whole league.
Is the result really random?
Yes. Every team has the same probability and the draw uses the browser's cryptographic random number generator, so there is no bias towards big-market teams.
