NBA Trivia

Oh... i thought you were just giving me a nickname (Glyde/Flying) :p lol... oh well :D

Yeah that question was pretty hard unless you were a Pistons fanatic
 
haha yeah exactly.....like a full on pistons fanatic alright lol...maybe he works for pistons? oh well.....lol...im super jealous of that knowledge lol...i should try that "mega memory" thing lol
 
ok no one is answering that question so ill ask you all another 1..

Name the only 3 players to win Rookie of the month every single month of their rookie seasons? (i know this from watching nba action)...hint...2 of the 3 ended up playing on the same team eventually
 
Well thats fair comment, was actually reading about the pistons the other day due to a on going bet with another pistons fan... i reckon it was the twin towers of Tim Duncan and David Robinson (1989-1990)... the third would probably be LeBron James, but im also going to chuck the name Grant Hill in.

another few questions for you guys, who played in the first NBA game, where was it and what was the scoreline?

Which player scored the most pts in a game as a rookie straight out of high school ?

which two players have scored more than 11,000 pts without being drafted by a nba team?
 
Yeah that was a pretty easy 2, especially with the playing together, how far back are we going, like Ewing, Hakeem times, or since the spilt of conferences... i reckon it was maybe Ewing or Mitch Richmond, or a bit closer Pau Gasol?
 
You are kidding me? Ralph Sampson? that guy had some bad luck, but he was an awesome player in the early to mid 80's, leading the rockets to NBA Finals with the dream in '86. The dude is in a bad way now...
 
the dude has like 8 kids to 5 different chicks, and is way behind on child support payments, like Oliver Miller was way overweight. He earns like 10k a yr, and needs like 2x that to pay child support. The US government has made an example of him as he got caught lying about his income and whole lot of other things.

I was reading an old SLAM the other day, and there was an article about the Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii in the NAIA that beat his Cavaliers in a college game in 1984. They practiced playing against him, he is 7'4, by having an assistant coach stand on a chair, and try a reject their shots with a broom, now thats high tech. It made me laugh anyway
 
10K a year?...how is that possible? the guy was in the nba and i dont know how they got paid in the 1980s...but he was an all-star lol...talk about down hill
 
In the article, which was on SI.com or ESPN.com, they talk about how the last few yrs of his career, with the Kings, he was getting around 500k, but after that, zilch really, but he was getting free accomdation, discounted cars, you know the perks of being a big name NBA player. It also talks about his company, which included his player number...

Ralph Sampson when #1, who are the other 4 rockets to be picked #1?

Hint: One of them is still playing, one has a son that is still playing and two were Houston Cougar players
 
Sorry mate, Moses didnt actually get drafted by an NBA franchise, he got picked up by Portland in the ABA disperal draft after being drafted by the Utah in the ABA and the original Mighty Mouse, Calvin Murphy wasnt the pick. That dude had troubles as well if i remember correctly...

I will expand the hints, one has a son that is still playing, having come out of the Oklahoma State recently and was a NCAA Tennis Champion, twice, in the 1970's, and the other one also played for Washington, and was drafted in 1968...
 
That would be MR Lucas, Sampson, Dream, Yaodawg.
Pretty sure thats all the #1 draft picks they have have. Murphy and moses drexler were from trades, even know they could have taken clyde at #3 but they took some else??? but they traded him for thorpe and then traded thorpe for drexler. the only top 10 draft picks I can think of is stevie francis and then horry@#7.
edit- and rudy gay buts lets not talk about that (until he turns out to be a bust)
 
Got a really tuff one here-
Only twice in NBA history has there been a 7 game final series with every game decided by 10 or less points.
what are the four teams and a bonus of what year????
