I have noticed that a lot of NBA games are tied at 66-66 or very close like 65-67. I think it's because they are usually within 10 points at halftime and then the losing team makes adjustments. It may sound funny but watch about 40 games or so and notice how often they are tied at 66 all.

Hakeem is the only player in NBA history to have won NBA MVP, NBA defensive player of the year, and Finals MVP in the same season.

That's my go-to trivia question if somebody claims they are an NBA trivia expert.

Yes he is and he is the only player to do so on multiple occasions.

He did so three times -- 1985 when he was 37, 1987 when he was 39 and 1988 when he was 40.

Incredible achievement.

Robert Horry?

I wouldn't be able to guess anybody before 1994 b/c that's when I became a fan.  Other potential players coming to mind are David Robinson and Alonzo

Nope -- starters only

Players who were 37+ years old that started on Championship teams

David Robinson is one of them (2003). Two down, two to go.
