Friday NBA Trivia, Redux (Special Monday Morning Edition)

[nickagneta]

Name all the Celtics or former Celtics to win the NBA Finals MVP Award.

I guess I'll start this off, though there's no way I'll get em all:

Paul Pierce
Larry Bird
Cedric Maxwell
Chauncey Billups
John Havlicek

Ironically the first person to get what's now called the Bill Russell award was Jerry West for excellence in losing to Russell in 1969.

That's five correct but there are more.

Are you counting guys like DJ who won before becoming C's?

Besides you had already guessed correctly with Chauncey and he won with Detroit.

[nickagneta]

John Havlicek
Bill Walton
Dennis Johnson
Cedric Maxwell
Larry Bird
Chauncey Billups
Paul Pierce

One more. Hint he won it playing for the Celtics.

[RebusRankin]

Jo Jo White 1976

[nickagneta]

TP thank you Rebus. You are up.

[CoachCowens]

Name the 7 former Celtics players who also coached the Celtics.

Besides you had already guessed correctly with Chauncey and he won with Detroit.

What I meant was Chauncey won after playing for Boston (former C) and DJ won before playing for Boston (future C).  Wasn't sure if future C's were included in the question.

Name the 7 former Celtics players who also coached the Celtics.

KC Jones
Jimmy Rodgers
Chris Ford
ML Carr (ugh)
Tommy!
Bill Russell (he was a current player when he coached, don't know if it counts)
Dave Cowens (same deal, was a P/C)

[nickagneta]

I don't think Jimmy Rodgers played for the C's but I see Satch Sanders is missing

6 out of 7. Rodgers never played for the C's to my knowledge

[CoachCowens]

I don't think Jimmy Rodgers played for the C's but I see Satch Sanders is missing

Nice. i thought he was the one that would be missed.

[nickagneta]

fwf you can go as you got the first 6.

[fairweatherfan]

Yup, for some reason I thought both of KC's assistants that later coached the team were ex-players.  Don't know how I got that in my head.


Ok, my question:

Name the 10 active players with the most career rebounds.  I'll specify that Mutombo can be considered retired even though he isn't officially there yet.  So scratch him off.

[GroverTheClover]

Shaq, Duncan, Big Ben, KG, Dirk, Camby, Dice, Jermaine O'Neal?, Sheed?, Kidd? Marion?

[RebusRankin]

Although no Celtic has led the NBA is scoring, 5 players who played for the Celtics did it as a member of another team. Name them.

[nickagneta]

Grover put down everyone I would have guessed.

[indeedproceed]

Dominique Wilkins is one I bet RR
