Yes, it was a theme league. Every team tried to lose as many games as possible, except one which had all the superstars on it. Basically it's now the model for debunking the "normalization" discussions that come up from time to time. If a team is really better, it will win, maybe, 100 games in a row.... :)

So, it's completely unfair, but it's the record to shoot for!

And, no, this team didn't lose to the wild card in the 1st round, but that would have been hilarious.
