I tried a Nets ABA to Spurs NBA player. It worked.

I find the Nets a tricky team to deal with. Stuck on that column for awhile. I had a nice 0.06% guess for Clips / Magic (I was watching some D Miles Clippers era games recently and there was a bench player in common) and ended up with a 0.08% for the Nets / Clippers which is a previous guess which I remembered as working from a previous grid.

The Nets / Bulls one was the one that caused me the most problems. The Bulls / Magic was tricky too other than the goggles guy. Took awhile to think of someone else. Interestingly, the two guesses played with each other on the same Bulls team.


I am struggling with the soccer one. I got half the grid quickly. Now I am dead. A German based grid. Got 2 more. 7/9 for 348. I did well to get two Swiss GKs. Missed the final Swiss and the M'Gladbach Chelsea player.

Hmm
So we can do ABA?

How about the Hornets situation.  Where the original franchise driving into New Orleans but changed back when the Bobcats became the Thunder and the New Orleans Hornets became the Pelicans.  That stuff confuses the hell out of me.

Like the Browns and Ravens in the NFL.

If you click on the logo (team logo) at the top of the column or the side of the row, it will tell you the name of team and the eligible years.

That is how I saw the ABA years were accepted for the Nets.

It will also tell you teams past locations like in today's one you have the Warriors. So you have GSW (1972-present), San Fransisco Warriors (1963-71) and Philadelphia Warriors (1947-62). So it will tell you the teams available and the years they were there.

It is really handy. Pity it took us so long to click one of those logos to see what would happen. Very useful.

I was dying on the Vince Carter one. I have no idea what happened in the 2nd half of his career. I know he was a journeyman bench player moving team to team. Some teams I know, some I don't ... but absolutely no idea which years he was there on any of them.

Such a forgettable career once he left New Jersey / Orlando.

I found that Milwaukee column difficult. Stuck on it for a long while trying to think of guys who could fit.

311 in the soccer one. 8/9.

A good old fashioned guess. Atlanta.

I had three nice scores on that one. 0.06% for DEN 20ppg which was a surprise it was so small. Two rarer ones on the BKN column which had me stalled for a good while but ended up well despite the delay. A 0.05% and 0.09%. Dude even had an old-school photo of him with the jheri curl hairdo. Other guy was a blank photo. Unfair, dude was a Celtic.

I was surprised a couple of others were low scores. I thought they would be higher. Well known guards from the 90s. Three of them. Long term starters all of them. I had good old-school names on the 20ppg scorers.


Got 178 9/9 on the soccer one. Strong score for me.
