10 Years Tenure: Mike KrzyzewskiI only just noticed but, back on September 25th 2019, our very own Mike Krzyzewski passed 10 years tenure as a Dynasty Five General Manager! Mike's first ever post happened when he claimed the Washington Wizards back when we were running the old D5 forums. Here is the link. It's kinda crazy to think how much has changed in our lives and our world since that day. Several months before Mike Krzyzewski signed up with us, Kobe Bryant had led the Lakers to his fifth championship over Dwight Howard's Magic. Congratulations to Mike Krzyzewski !

Wow...Amazing. 10 years is a long time for me here but in reality it is a great testament of what Ian has created, the overall quality of all of our owners and the stability and health of this great sim league!
I am truly appreciative to be a part of the community! Thanks to all of you guys who put in the work to make this the best sim league on the planet!

Congrats Mike! The core group you put together at the start of this league (Tony Parker, Carmelo, Blake Griffin, DeAndre) was one of the scariest lineups ever assembled in D5, and really could have been the first "dynasty" if injuries and weird sim performances didn't hold you back. The longevity of D5 is perhaps the most core principle that makes this league great. Our collective assumption that this league will continue into eternity is what holds us all together, makes us willing to start a rebuild, wait 2 years to get a team, scout high school players, trade for picks that we won't get to use for 3 years, and generally invest so heavily in the growth and performance of our players. We have more GMs in D5 that started pre-2012 than the real NBA does. Thank you Mike Krzyzewski for your dedication and Ian Noble for keeping us all together!
