Can AI Build a Title Team from 1989 NBA Hoops Cards?

Описание: I open 1989 NBA Hoops basketball cards in this vintage NBA card pack opening, then use AI to analyze every player, build the best possible NBA starting lineup, and select a sixth man from the packs.

AI then simulates how this 1989 NBA Hoops team would perform during the NBA regular season and playoffs, while also reviewing PSA 10 basketball card values to determine which cards are worth grading.

After reviewing every player pulled, AI selected the best possible starting five plus a sixth man, then simulated how this team would have performed during the 1989 NBA regular season and playoffs.

But that’s not all…

AI also analyzed PSA 10 grading values for each card to answer the big question every collector asks:
👉 Are these cards worth grading?

👇 Watch to see
✔️ Who made the AI starting lineup
✔️ Did I pull Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, or Larry Bird
✔️ How far this team went in the playoffs
✔️ Which cards could be PSA 10 gems
✔️ Whether grading actually makes financial sense

Here's what AI had to say:

🏗️ TEAM BUILD (BEST POSSIBLE — IMAGE-LOCKED ONLY)

Era context: Late 1980s / early 1990s NBA
Selection logic: Positional balance, peak impact, two-way value, no assumed upgrades.

Starting Five

PG — Rickey Green (Bucks)
True point guard, elite assist rates for the era, stabilizes ball movement

SG — Michael Jordan (Bulls)
Primary scorer, defensive anchor on the perimeter

SF — Dominique Wilkins (Hawks)
Explosive wing scoring, transition dominance

PF — Charles Barkley (76ers)
Rebounding, interior scoring, mismatch creator

C — Brad Daugherty (Cavaliers)
Skilled low-post scorer, passing big, reliable defense

Sixth Man
Mitch Richmond (Warriors)
Instant offense, can close games if matchup favors scoring

📊 TEAM SCORE (1–100)
Final Rating: 96 / 100

Breakdown:
Roster completeness: Full (no vacancies) ✅
Elite scoring (Jordan + Wilkins + Barkley): Max tier
True PG present: Major boost
Center position: Strong but not dominant rim protector (minor deduction)
Bench depth beyond 6th man: Limited (minor deduction)
This is a championship-caliber roster, not a perfect one.

🏆 SEASON PROJECTION (82 Games)

Expected Record Range:
Low: 58–24
Median: 62–20
High: 66–16

Why:
Half-court scoring is unstoppable
Transition offense lethal
Defensive intensity elite on wings
Only weakness: elite opposing centers (Hakeem / Robinson types)

🏆 PLAYOFF SIMULATION
Round-by-Round Outlook
Round 1: Win (4–1) — talent gap overwhelming
Round 2: Win (4–2) — Barkley dominance inside
Conference Finals: Win (4–2) — Jordan closes late games
NBA Finals: Championship favorite

Finals Outcome:
Title probability: ~65–70%
Loss scenario only occurs against:
Elite rim-protecting center + shooting depth
Slow-tempo defensive juggernaut
