  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
7'4 Retired NBA center. As a high schooler he was never really into basketball. He worked as an auto mechanic for 3 years before being discovered by a JuCo coach, who later got him into UCLA (after JuCo)

Then, he went on a a successful if offensively deficient 12 yeah NBA career, 2x Defensive POY.

Mark Eaton?

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.

How many Celtics have recorded triple doubles in the NBA Finals? Who were they? (One did it twice).

I have a question.

Name the first team and year that a 60 win team didn't go to the NBA Finals and who won it all that year?

The 1972/73 Boston Celtics (68 wins). Lost to the NY Knicks who won the championship that year. Hondo has a serious injury but stilled played.

Larry Bird did it once, didn't he?

Bird's one. He's the one who did it twice.

Larry Bird and I believe the other is Gary Payton's favourite player Rondo.

Negative. Looking for three more players

1. Bird (x2)
2. (x2)
3. (x2)
4.

My mistake two others also did it twice... I looked it up and there are 4 different players, three of whom did it twice.

Havlicek, maybe Russell with blocks...not sure who the other one would be.

Yes
No
No

No Hondo, surprised me too.

Russell is a yes with assists believe it or not twice. Interestingly enough, no one has ever recorded a Finals triple double in any stat category other then points, rebounds, and assists.

1. Bird (x2)
2. Cousy (x2)
3. Russell (x2)
4. (x1)

Did DJ have a big rebound game at some point and get a triple double in an 80s Final?  Seems like a candidate.

Good guess, but no. That does seem plausible though.
