A quick one. I think this is the quickest I've done one while getting a high score.

I had a lot of 80s guys. 7 of the 9 were 80s guys. The other 2 were end of bench guys from the 90s.

I thought for sure my two guys for 10 rebounds from OKC were easy picks, but neither were correct.  Finally went with a Supersonic (which I wasn’t sure you could do).  Proud to say I did fill out the Celtics section with 100% accuracy)
Yup

Bummer. I thought the first guy would've played with Yao as well. Oh well. The 2nd guy I wasn't sure if he played with Harden but turned out he had played with both. He was the shorter path suggestion.

Man, I just died on that Utah / Portland one. I couldn't think of anyone. That was brutal. Completely stumped.

I had done so well up until as well. All under 1%. 7 of the 8 below 0.5%. I was rolling.

Seriously, I was stuck on that one for like 10mins. I couldn't even think of anyone to guess. I just knew all the names I could think of were wrong.

In the end, I just had to tap out. I guessed Tony Massenburg. He played on like 10-12 teams and I am pretty sure he was on Utah towards the end. So I took a shot. Hint: never played for Portland.

I really hate New Orleans. They are my bugaboo team. Never comfortable with them. And all the guesses are so recent. Hard to think of good rare guesses.

Tricky. Spurs players are tough. Very young team. Their players haven't moved around much. Not a lot to work with.

Shorter path suggestion was a good one. Forgot he played in Dallas. Forgot he played in San Antonio too to be honest. That team has been basketball purgatory these last year or two.

My time playing this.  What does the rarity score mean?

They want you to guess less well known names. So you get 10% if 10% of people guessed that player and that gives you a score of 10. You get 1% if 1% of people guessed that player and that gives you a score of 1. The goal is to get the lowest score possible.

They give you a penalty of 100 if you get a wrong answer.

I try to target older players & bench guys for rarer guesses in order to get lower (rarer) scores.
