[mickimouse24]

umm was it ?...triplet? trippphesy,triplett,..was it jesus? lol god i dont know lol..thats all i can think of

 

[JZA]

nope nobodies close yet, give up?

 

[mickimouse24]

well i reckon im right lol....so im interested to hear what you think the answer is

 

[JZA]

he wore #33 in honour of his Sifu Bruce Lee, who died at the age of 33.

 

[mickimouse24]

ummmm no mate...i found this..:

Question: I had read somewhere that you wore # 33 as a tribute to the age Lee was when he died. Is that true?

KAJ: No. My wearing of #33 was a tribute to Mel Triplett, fullback for the New York Giants... We got new uniforms when I was in the 7th grade. And I was a football fan and Mel Triplett played in the backfield with Frank Gifford. He was basically the blocker. But he was my favorite player and he wore #33

oh well i stand corrected, i got it from imdb.com and they ususally have their facts straight.

 

[mickimouse24]

na thats cool hehe who knows whats right these days

hey i have a question...probably easy to you guys though..

question:
name a player that has been swept out of the WEST Finals, East Finals, and NBA Finals in the 1990s? who was it and what years? and what teams was it against etc?

 

[clarkescards]

I'm thinking of only 3 - Payton (Sonics, Bucks), Kemp (Sonics, Cavs) or Shaq (Magic, Lakers), but I don't recall Lakers ever being Swept. I know the Magic got swept in 95 (94/95 season) by Rockets in NBA Finals, and then in 1996 got swept by MJ's Bulls in East Finals.

 

[mickimouse24]

dude your almost there...try and think about the late 1990s

 

[clarkescards]

As I said, I don't remember the Lakers ever being swept (with Shaq). They always seemed to win (somehow - see Portland, Sacramento & San Antonio)

... but by the sounds of things, they must've, and if I were to guess, I'd say by Spurs

 

[mickimouse24]

well...thats cool....anyone know?...i think i watched 2 much basketball back then lol

 

[clarkescards]

Actually, as a guess, I'd say by the Spurs in 1999 (lockout year)

 

[mickimouse24]

nice try but that was in the second round.....as the spurs played the blazers in the west finals in 1999....your very close

 

[clarkescards]

Well that would only leave 1997 & 1998.

That'd mean it was Utah.

 

[mickimouse24]

corrrect....1998 lakers vs jazz....jazz won 4-0...so shaq got swept in the east, west and nba finals in the 1990s

 

[mickimouse24]

ok i have another 1....:

Question: Who holds the record for the most 3pters in an NBA Finals Game? What Year?, What Game?, and Who it was against?..hint: was more than 1 player, and was in the 1990s

 

[MetallicA']

IR Chapman with 9 in 97 i think and VC tied it against philly
, thats playoffs
thats my guess

 

[mickimouse24]

na mate...i said in an NBA Finals Game...like grand final game

 

[JZA]

im going to go out on a limb and say Jordan?

All i can think of is that game against the blazers in the 92 final where hit like 7...
