Hey Product Hunt, I built Build a Hooper for basketball fans who love the “what if?” side of the game. What if you could build a custom player by stealing one skill at a time from historic teams? Curry’s shooting, Jordan’s clutch, Rodman’s rebounding, Magic’s passing, Shaq’s finishing — but you only get 13 picks. The flow is simple: 1. Spin a historic team 2. Pick one legendary player 3. Steal one skill 4. Repeat until your build is complete 5. Simulate an 82-game season 6. Watch live game logs, submit your record, and share the result I wanted it to feel more like a lightweight basketball game than a static player builder, so I added live play-by-play, standings, leaderboard submissions, and shareable season results. This is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with the NBA or NBA 2K. I’d love feedback on: - Does the draft flow feel fun enough to replay? - Does the live sim feel believable? - What mode should come next: playoffs, build battles, or more historic teams? Thanks for checking it out.
