  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Here is how it works:

You can only ask one question at a time.

Try to answer other people's questions before posing your own, but if you can't ask yours.

First answer by timestamp (in case answer is edited) wins. TP's given at your own discretion.

Try not to just google everything. Its a gentleman's game.

Basketball only questions, please!

First question (I always ask this):

I'm a 7 foot center from Oklahoma with an awesome nickname. I was one team's first ever draft pick. I was a force in Coach K's College Basketball for the Sega Genesis.
Who am I?

3TP's

Coach K's basketball was all of college basketball, kinda like Madden football.

Keeping the Coach K video game theme....


This power forward was an absolute beast. He was just NASTY. Dominating. He turned out to be a pretty good Pro too, having a 12 year career with 4 different teams. Due to being undersized, though..he had to move to small forward.

I'll give a really easy one that I know of the top of my head so I don't have to google something to stump you guys with.

I was the last college senior to be drafted #1 overall.
