I collected the data for 4,000 games, and then used AI to run analytical reports, create rating formulas, and make a lineup optimizer tool.

I currently consider this to be a competitive advantage and since I have yet to win my first championship I am going to keep it all to myself. Unless..... Someone can correctly answer this:

What team do these players represent?

JJ "Magnetic" Redick
Fletcher "Five Hundred Degrees" Magee
Scottie "Grilled Cheese Flippin" Pippen
Danny "Motorbreath" Manning
Jarrett "All Three Million Gallons" Allen

There is only one correct answer, I will not be giving any additional clues or direction.
Good luck!

The A-Team

McDonald’s All-American Team?

Or maybe magnetic refers to North or South being in the team name?

The "all-intensity" team!

magnetic makes me think North or South
grilled cheese makes me think Wisc
motorbreath makes me think Detroit
3 million gallons makes me think the great lakes

So there's some connections with the Wisc/Mich area there...

My guess from this is the D3 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association All Conference Team.
The conference has schools from Mich and Wisc.

I just have no idea how the 500 degrees fits in, but that's my guess....

I thought it was the X Men but was wrong. Not sure if it's superhero related?

Wonder if its HD related or archetypes from a particular team?

Fun guesses, no correct answer yet.

A Double Team

Good guess, but incorrect.

i thought you weren’t going to give any hints ;)

i’m going to go with ‘the double double team’

i guess this wasn't it so i'll venture one more guess though i'm feeling less confident about it bc of lack of punniness...

"The Double Burners"

Double = all the double letters in the players' names

Burner = burner-related terminology in all of the nicknames (magnetic --> induction cook-top, 500 degrees is classic oven max temp, grilled cheese is flipped on a hit griddle, motorbreath --> burner on wheels, all 3M gallons --> industrial burners hyperbole)
