I remember Schuhmann (I think) years ago writing about how basically every title team had at least 5 guys with 5000 minutes or more on that team. Using minutes on the team instead of years helps weight towards guys who play more minutes. Occasionally you get a Udonis Haslem situation where guys get counted because of minutes played years ago, but should usually work pretty well.

There's even an error in it. I was wondering how the Bucks only played 51 Eastern Conference games last year, and the answer is that the stat is incorrect and Milwaukee actually went 35-17 last year against the East.
