FYI, for the OKC guesses you can also use Supersonics players, and for Memphis you can use Vancouver, etc.

I got a couple of good ones. I had a backup center from the 70s who was a backup center in the 80s for another team which had a 0.03% guess.

I did badly on the NY / Memphis one. Only one big name guy came to mind. 64% guess rate.

A little better.  I got to use both a father (correct) and a son (incorrect).

A couple of 5%ers

Was on my way to a sub 100 rarity score (gotta beat Who's 88 from the other day).  Having the Celtics as an option definitely helped there, in total 6 of my answers were former Celtics, with 5 of them having <10% rarity scores.  The Dallas rebound question was tough, only 4 possible answers.

A little better.  I got to use both a father (correct) and a son (incorrect).

I was thinking of using the father, in the Pacers/Mavs spot, but got in my own head and wasn't sure if it would work.  It would have.  Probably would have given a good rarity score too.  Oh well, had to settle with a former Celtic for a 4% score in that spot.

I am surprised there isn't more overlap here. Both of these guys played for so long with so many different teammates.

Ah bummer. I got the last one wrong. I would've gotten a good score if I had of landed that one.

Dang. My other choice would've worked there. I just wasn't sure. I thought my other guess was a lock but it was completely wrong.

I have it in my head that Tim Jr had a stop in Indy, but that was Dad.

5 guys at 1% or below.

I'm just mad I picked a guy who was 12th in regular season minutes for the Nuggets this year over several I was considering, but he ended up being my highest score at 16%.

Any non-HOFer from the pre-00's pretty much guaranteed to give you a low score though.

Wow, a 31! That is going to be a tough mark to beat.

I did pretty well except for that one wrong one. I tried the Champ Raptors one with someone who was a champ with a different team but played on the Raps but that was not okay. Had to win with Toronto.

My best guess had a 0.008%. I did not know you get that extra zero. That was a good one.

And they don't let you repeat a player. I was trying to use the same player for two different squares but they wouldn't let that happen.
