Welcome to Rewritten Rings, an alternate NBA history created through NBA 2K26's NBA Eras mode.
The simulation begins with the 1983-84 NBA season, and from there, the results of each season determine what happens next. Players can take completely different career paths, franchises can experience success or failure in unexpected ways, and the NBA's history can unfold in ways that never happened in real life.
If you're new to Rewritten Rings, this is the best place to start.
How Rewritten Rings Works
The timeline begins with the 1983-84 NBA season.
The simulation is run using NBA 2K26's NBA Eras mode.
No custom rules or predetermined outcomes are used.
The game controls the draft, trades, free agency, injuries, awards, playoffs, and championships.
The results of each season carry forward and shape the seasons that follow.
I document and analyze the results, creating an ongoing alternate NBA history.
The goal isn't to rewrite NBA history by deciding what should happen. Instead, I let the game determine what happens and then document the history that emerges.
