Well, wdleehi recently reminded me about this so I thought we'd bring sexy back.

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, you can 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 am a Massachusetts product, born and raised, all the way up to college. I'm not retired. I only made the all-star game once, but I competed during all-star weekend for 4 straight years. In one singular season I was both an assistant coach and player for the Celtics, in that order. Who am I?

If you answer within 2 mins, its 10 TPs. Anything beyond that is 2

Bonus: If you can tell me which post spurred this question, 5 TP's.

jeez louise people!

Former celtic player, born and raised in Mass, 1 all star game appearance, but still managed to COMPETE during All-star weekend for 4 straight years...in one season he was both a celtics assistant coach, and celtics player, in that order.

For shame!

EDIT: Nick, my hero.

Lousiville alum, top three pick, won most outstanding player in the NCAA tournament, but did not declare until 3 years later.

Got an embarassing nickname from Danny Ainge, but won NBA's Most Improved Player the next season.

Born in Alabama, raised in Michigan, college in Syracuse, never left the Eastern Conference.

Often referenced as one of the worst "coulda been" stories out there, never really realized his potential.

Derrick Coleman?
CB Draft Bucks: Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Tobias Harris, Zach LaVine, Aaron Afflalo, Jeff Green, Donatas Motiejunas, Jarrett Jack, Frank Kaminsky, Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, Shane Larkin, Nick Young

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.
