Title: Basketball Trivia
Post by: RebusRankin on January 09, 2009, 02:12:55 PM
Inspired by the movie line and video game trivia threads, I thought I'd start a basketball trivia thread.

To kick things off, a two parter:

1A) How many former Celtics were on the NBA's Top 50 at 50 list? 1B)Name them?

Sorry, I know spelling's not the #1 priority on this board, especially when you're typing down 12 names; but Parish with two r's is just a pet peeve of mine.

I know, I have a problem.

I'm with you.  I have no idea either.  I just know 'Nique wasn't on the list.  First name that came to my mind was McAdoo, but I didn't think he was on the list.  And when I checked, I was right.  He's not on it.

Here's one I heard on the radio today

The question was how many American born white players drafted since 1990 have made the all star team?

The follow up question was to name the player(s).

While I was trying to figure out the first one I figured out the second one and rather quickly too.

Here's a hint. He's not Scala.

What is the record for most games played in a regular season, and who has it? 

Just to get it out of the way the answer is not "82 shared by 2000 guys".
Title: Re: Basketball Trivia
Post by: Chris on February 04, 2009, 04:42:04 PM
I am pretty sure they said just Laettner on the radio (I heard it too...it was Meter on the WEEI morning show I believe), but that is clearly wrong, since I am sure Googs was an All Star.

Googs was definitely an all-star, definitely drafted and definitely born in the U.S., so Meter is (once again) wrong.

I have a whole bunch of useless information thanks to collecting basketball cards as a kid.  I can pretty much tell you the height of any guy that played between 90-93, according to either Skybox or Upper Deck.  Pathetic?  Yes.  Depressing?  Yes.  Wait, where was I going with this?

Hey, I did the same thing except from 88-92 or so.  And I put mine in order in those books of laminated sleeves, too.  I've got to sell those some day, the early sets before they jacked up production are probably worth a bit of change.

Post by: Eja117 on February 04, 2009, 05:17:07 PM
On the radio it was Laetner. It seems Mike Miller hasn't played an all-star game yet. It seems Googs is also right. The only thing I can think of is if maybe Googs was some sort of injury replacement, so they aren't counting him, but more than likely the radio just got it wrong

You got the first two.  Jefferson wasn't on the title team at Arizona.  I had to cheat to get the third guy.  No way I would have gotten it.  I don't want to ruin it since I cheated.

The list will likely get bigger this year as the Bulls and Heat both have two NCAA champions each and the Thunder and Lakers each have one.

No way Kobe Bryant has 1300 blocks. He'd need to be averaging more than 1 block per game for his career. He probably doesn't have half of that. I also doubt he has 6,000 rebounds.

I say it's Kareem. If not, Karl Malone.

The other NCAA+NBA champion is Corey Brewer. No idea about the 4th guy.

Aside from Garnett, who is the only other player with at least 19000 points, 6000 rebounds, 3400 assists, 1400 steals, and 1300 blocks
Sounds like a wing - the 6,000 rebounds, 3,400 assists and 1,400 blocks.
Julius Erving?

Has Hakeem been guessed?  He'd be my pick.

Really?  I can't imagine many wings that could get to 1300 blocks other than maybe AK47 and Dr J.

I'd guess a big man is more likely.  Tough to think of bigs that could pass or pilfer like KG though, never-mind both.  Malone might've played long enough to get them but he wasn't much of a shot-blocker.

Kareem also probably has the assists due to longevity and definitely has the blocks so he might be a possibility.  If not Hakeem, David Robinson or Robert Parish would be the only other guys that could meet the defensive and scoring criteria.  None of those guys probably come close to KG in assists though.  Also Elvin Hayes but I know steals and blocks weren't recorded for his whole career.  Dr J would be the obvious choice but I don't know if the ABA disqualifies him.

Actually, looking at it again I guess I'm wrong.  It would be virtually impossible for a big to score 19000 points and end up with only ~6000 boards.  Then again I don't see how a wing would be athletic enough to do all the other things and not grab more rebounds than that too.

It's at least 6000, not around 6000.  The correct answer could have 6001 or 16001 boards.

Looked up Olajuwon out of curiosity and he's easily got every category except "only" 3058 assists.  So it's not him.

I think Wilt and Kareem "did" it, but Kareem's first few seasons didn't have steals recorded, and none of Wilt's had blocks or steals. Same for Russell.

I thought I'd nailed it with Pippen, but only 947 blocks.

Chris Webber is very close.

Right but KG has well more than double that.  So if the guy was a big the question would probably be something more like at least 12000 rebounds.

TP for you. Payton is just under on the assists. Stockton just under on the points.

I accidentally wrote my question wrong, it should be 3060 assists and not 3400 assists (the odd assist number is to eliminate Hakeem who had 3058 assists).  

No one has gotten this guy, even with my error (though obviously Hakeem was close).  Just let me know when you want the answer (to the actual question with the correct assists).

that was my guess as well, but I looked and he doesn't have the assists (just under 400 shy).

Drexler is the correct answer.

I think Zaza is one! He got drafted in like, '03 if I remember right. I can't ever remember him being injured severely. Joe Johnson is another guy I think.

Did Richard Jefferson ever retire officially?

He's still on the Warriors roster, but Looney and Javale (haha) have replaced his role. Although nobody can quite injure people like Zaza.
