Doesn't everybody keep the names of every professional basketball player in their heads?

No, it took me 10 minutes scrolling through the list of players at basketball-reference.com. I was curious myself.

I think those numbers include WNBA and NBDL players though.

But should be able to come up with some good teams...

I don't think anyone can beat the Johnsons though.
