Nobody knows who the 5th 1st pick for the Rockets?

Elvin Hayes, 1968, former Houston Cougar, played with Washington.

 

[theflyinggerco]

Steve Francis was a Vancouver, now Memphis pick, think it was Rodney McCray was the other Houston pick in the Hakeem-Drexler year.

Trivia Question:
Which 2 players apart from the 'Sheed, have been traded after playing just 1 game for a team?

One was a pick in the year of Yao, and actually did it twice, and the other was a 2nd All-Rookie Team selection in the late 1980's... both PF/C's as well

 

[Dream34]

The Flying dude knows his stuff. Well done mate.

I'm gonna have a guess- Knicks, Rockets in 94. Pistons, Lakers in 88

The rockets knicks is correct but the pistons/lakers is way off.

Arh of course, I was thinking houston, not rockets! tricky bugger. San Diego Rockets before moving to Houston in 71'


What about you theflyinggerco- the other two teams for this Question-

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????

 

[theflyinggerco]

Your right on the money with Robert Archibald... the other one was Greg Anderson, the starting centre for the Spurs in his rookie year (88-89) before David Robinson replaced him.

The Finals Question... was the Knicks-Lakers series were Willis Reed injured his calf and came back one of them... apart from the aforementoined Knicks-Rockets i cant think of any.

 

[Funkadelic]

OK, an easy one..

What team was the first to have both the Slam Dunk Champion and the Three Point Shootout Champion in the same year? What was the year and who were they?

 

[Dream34]

Stumped?
1994 ROCKETS / KNICKS
1955 SYRACUSE / FORT WAYNE PISTONS.
Which was the same year the 24 sec shot clock came in if I'm not mistaken

 

[Dream34]

OK, an easy one..

What team was the first to have both the Slam Dunk Champion and the Three Point Shootout Champion in the same year? What was the year and who were they?

Hmmmm, the bulls had plently of 3pts winners in the 90's but no slam dunk champ in the same year Jordan has way before that unless it was Hodge/jordan. Hawks had nique and spudd but I don't recall them having a 3pt crown. Or celtics with dee brown / danny a.(not sure if he won but he was a gun from downtown, oh he was traded before then wasn't he????)

Drexler/porter came close as well didn't they?

 

[Pierce34]

glen rice won the 3 point in 95 and i think harold miner won the dunk in 95 or 96. i think minor played for miami

 

[pennysdaman]

Minor and rice...95.....

 

[Pierce34]

are you sure mate

 

[pennysdaman]

yeah sure as.....when minor changed his number from 32 to 4 i think.....

 

[Pierce34]

ok then i wasnt sure if it was 95 or 96 he won

 

[pennysdaman]

yeah then like a yr after they traded rice to charlotte
