Missed Del Curry, Hal Greer, and Alonzo Mourning (lol), but I did get the hidden bonus one and I did get a couple of them typing common, random last names.

I'm ashamed to admit that I missed 2. It's not as easy as it might seem.

That's still incredibly impressive.

I missed 8, but the only one of those I should have gotten is Mourning. I'd have never guessed the others. I'm not old enough to remember Buck Williams as a Net. Maybe I should have guessed Gerald Wallace, but I'd be lucky to remember his name most of the time.

Damn; missed Randy Smith, Dell Curry, Pao Gasol, Gerald Wallace, and Nick Anderson. I can't believe Hal Greer was the player the least number of people got though; Greer was a superstar, unlike Smith, Curry, or Anderson.

Fun Game...

They should have some alternate spellings, I shouldn't get one wrong just because a guys name is Dominique....

JamStone

I got Smith and Davis just by typing those last names randomly, not because I knew they were the ones. I was pretty proud of getting Nick Anderson. I typed in Hardaway and Dennis Scott too before getting Anderson.

22 if you count the super hidden bonus one. Would have had 23 but I mispelled Roger Murdoch's name.

I just typed on both of their names figuring they had to be a leading scorer on a team that moved. How the hell is anyone supposed to know the Clippers one?

I missed nine but got the bonus. I wasted a good minute trying different spellings of Rony Seikaly only to find out he wasn't the answer anyway.

And then I missed Jerry F'n West.

I must admit that I got West because I was guessing Westphal for Phoenix. I hadn't actually gotten to the Lakers yet.

It took me awhile to get the Phoenix one. I was sure it was KJ.

I tried about 8 different Seikaly spellings as well. Then went to Glen Rice and Steve Smith, and Smith got me the Clippers Randy Smith.

I had a moment with the GS Warriors answer -

"WTF computer! You are soooo stupid computer! I keep typing Barry and you say it's wrong. But I am right and YOU are wrong! Oh yeah and I'm totally going to pwn everyone on SpursTalk when I reveal that there's a super secret hidden answer that probably nobody else figured out! Whoever made this quiz is a stupid asshole, he doesn't even know who Rick Barry was. And now my time's up, but I'm still counting Rick Barry, it's not my fault the jerk who made the quiz is retar................oh yeah, that guy probably did score more than Rick Barry. Whoops."

Not that the logic that even though the franchise Wilt played for moved and changed its name Wilt is still the scoring leader is wrong, but by that logic shouldn't Gary Payton be the points leader for the OKC Thunder?

I missed 6.

I actually thought Julius Erving was the Nets all-time leading scorer, instead of Buck Williams.

The Randy Smith one threw me off. I knew he scored most of his points for the old Buffalo Braves before they moved to L.A. However I assumed McAdoo was their all-time leading scorer.

I also completely forgot that the Big O played for the Kings. I associate him more with the Milwaukee Bucks.

I'm just flat-out ashamed to admit that I completedly missed on Alonzo Mourning, Nick Anderson, and Gerald Wallace.

I was real proud to have gotten Hal Greer. Coinincidentally, I was looking at all-time NBA stats last year and stopped to examine his. I never saw him play and didn't know much about him. I don't know why I focused on him.

Good exercise. Thanks for posting.

lol SenorSpur, I type in duncan and Robinson and of course nothing happens. Then for whatever reason your av pops into my head, and then I'm thinking, "Oops, I should have known that."

23/30

missed Randy Smith/Clippers, Buck Williams/Nets, Dell Curry/Hornets, Nick Anderson/Magic, Hal Greer/Sixers, Oscar Robertson/Kings, Elvin Hayes/Wizards.

I did get the hidden team but I was guessing for the current incarnation of their franchise.

Obstructed_View

02-05-2009, 01:07 PM

I took it again after reading this thread and still didn't get Greer, Davis, Robertson or Hayes. I won't pretend to know anything about those guys. Hell, the only reason I knew about Alex English was because the Spurs show on Fox Southwest had a segment about him.

The reason Payton isn't the answer for OKC is that the records and team name stayed in Seattle. That was part of the settlement when they moved.

BTW, what's the bonus team?

Yeah the Kareem thing (the NBA's all time career points leader) is a little embarrassing for you but a lot of people forgot Wilt.

If you thought the Seattle Supersonics team scoring records still applied to the Oklahoma City Thunder, then you got the hidden, bonus team.

Missed 9. I kept thinking Larry Nance was the Cavs leading scorer, never would have guess LeBron passed him so early. Also thought Ronaldo Blackman was the Mavs lead instead of Nowitzki, I don't know how I could miss Alex English and Oscar Robertson, but I couldn't have guess Curry, Walter Davis (I thought it was Paul Westphaul) and Hal Greer (kept typing in Julius Erving and Moses Malone).

ambchang

02-05-2009, 03:04 PM

The ones I find most interesting is that 4% missed Michael Jordan (who else could that have been?), and only 39.3% got Geroge Gervin. I bet the other 60.7% kept typing "Duncan Duncan Robinson Duncan".

Also, only 48% got Drexler? What where the other 52% thinking? Oden?

I typed "Smith" for Steve Smith for the Miami Heat and "Randy Smith" came up for the Clippers. I also got Walter Davis and Buck Williams as I started guessing other common names like Johnson, Jackson.

Ah, very good guesses. If I'd thought of LJ I'd have probably guessed Mourning which would have given me another answer. The ones I knew I got pretty quick, so I had plenty of time to guess.

Son of a :pctoss :pctoss

I got them all except for Gerald Wallace. I spent the last three minutes typing Okafor, Okafur, Richardson, Felton, Okafor, Emeka Okafor, Okufor ... then started going through the Charlotte Hornets players thinking perhaps there was some type of carryover I wasn't aware of.

:flipoff Bynum.
