Trivia Time

[Marcus Bryant]

Which NBA player holds the record for most assists in a quarter?

[whottt]

Used to be John Lucas when he was with the Spurs...but I think Scott Skiles broke his record.

[Marcus Bryant]

Whattt is your final answer whottt?

[whottt]

Not certain about Skiles so I'll stick with Lucas who I know held it at one point.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yes it was Lucas. Skiles has the record for assists in a game.

[Kori Ellis]

Now it's Whottt's turn to ask a question.

[Marcus Bryant]

A: Shane Heal

[whottt]

Now for my question...

Can you name the PG, who will soon have a retired jersey, that will have his career mark for 3 pointers(set over a 10 year period) beaten by a rookie, back up PG in one quarter of a season?

Hint: This PG saved the career of one of the NBA's 50 greatest players and kept him from being an NBA washout who couldn't get out of the lottery.

[IcemanCometh]

John Stockton?

[Duff McCartney]

Now for my question...

Can you name the PG, who will soon have a retired jersey, that will have his career mark for 3 pointers(set over a 10 year period) beaten by a rookie, back up PG in one quarter of a season?

Hint: This PG saved the career of one of the NBA's 50 greatest players and kept him from being an NBA washout who couldn't get out of the lottery.

What is overrated piece of garbage AJ?

[whottt]

Not but that's close.

The PG I am referring to got his ass whipped by Stockton 3 times in the playoffs.

[Marcus Bryant]

So much for tttrivia tttime whottt had ttto fuck ittt up wittth yettt anottther dumb fucking vendettta.

[whottt]

Your turn Duff...

I was gonna be nice until Aussie Jesus was mocked!

[Marcus Bryant]

I'm sure Ice can hook you up with a nice nudie pick of your idol and I don't mean the Coyote.

[whottt]

So much for tttrivia tttime whottt had ttto fuck ittt up wittth yettt anottther dumb fucking vendettta.


Um exactly how was that a vendetta anyway...every thing was factually based.

[Duff McCartney]

I dunno a damn thing about NBA trivia. So somebody else take it.

[Marcus Bryant]

Here's a trivia question: why the fuck does whottt argue about inconsequential shit?

And a sister question: why the fuck does whottt advance dumb positions?

[ShoogarBear]

Welcome back, MB.

[Marcus Bryant]

It's good to be back, Suge.

[Marcus Bryant]

*whottt furiously hammers outtt 10,000 word rebutttal*

[2pac]

Who are the only teammates to lead the league in scoring and assists?

[Marcus Bryant]

Hmmmm. Stockton and Malone?

[whottt]

Ok I'll ask another one...Serious one this time...

How many players are still active in the NBA from the 94-95 Western Conference Finals(both teams) and who are they?

[whottt]

Who are the only teammates to lead the league in scoring and assists?


Johnny Moore and George Gervin

[ShoogarBear]

Gervin and Moore is the answer you're looking for.

But I argue that Nate Archibald is an equally acceptable answer.

[ShoogarBear]

whottt has it wrong, since he put down Moore as the scoring leader and Gervin as the assist leader.


:smokin

[whottt]

Now for another...and I am still waiting on that WCF answer...c'mon Shoogar you can get that one.


What was the catchphrase of Shoogarbear's avatar back in the 1970's commercials?

[Marcus Bryant]

How many former NBA players are graduates of Harvard Law School? Name them.

[ShoogarBear]

How many players are still active in the NBA from the 94-95 Western Conference Finals(both teams) and who are they?

Robert Horry

[ShoogarBear]

How many former NBA players are graduates of Harvard Law School? Name them.

Len Elmore is the only one I know of.

Actually played a pickup game with him.

[ducks]

how many players come into the nba straight out of highschool that have gotten a max contract

[Marcus Bryant]

Suge is correct.

[Marcus Bryant]

How many current Basketball Hall of Fame members have played for the San Antonio Spurs?

[ShoogarBear]

My submission:

Which Spurs have lead the league in blocked shots?

[ShoogarBear]

How many current Basketball Hall of Fame members have played for the San Antonio Spurs?

Gervin.

Malone.

Schintzius.

[2pac]

WCF: Horry and Cassell

HOF:
Gervin
Nique
Moses

Blocks:
DRob
Gilmore?

[Marcus Bryant]

Nique hasn't been enshrined yet.

Schintzus tempts placement on the ignore list.

[whottt]

Robert Horry

Bad Shoogar....

You left out Tracy Murray, Chris Whitney, Howard Eisley...

And jholy shit......how could you forget Sam Cassell....

[whottt]

My submission:

Which Spurs have lead the league in blocked shots?


The Admiral and George Johnson

[ShoogarBear]

Nique is not the HOF yet.

For blocks, DRob is right, Gilmore is wrong and not all have been named.

[Marcus Bryant]

Here's a couple even TPark should be able to get.

How many players in NBA history have recorded a quadruple double?
How many Spurs have recorded quadruple doubles in a NBA game? Who are they?

[whottt]

I see no one can match my knowledge of 1970's cereal commercials...you guys are pathetic.

[whottt]

How many players in NBA history have recorded a quadruple double?
How many Spurs have recorded quadruple doubles in a NBA game? Who are they?


4

Nate
Alvin
Drob
Hakeem

Drob and Alvin the only Spurs...

Next question...

What Spur came within 1 steal of being the second player in NBA history to record a quadruple double?

[ShoogarBear]

-Eisely and Murray I would have never remembered in a million years.

-I shoulda remembered Whitney.

-As for Cassell, I thought you were restricting answers to earthlings.

-Correct on DRob and George Johnson (who did it twice).

-Johnny Moore came within one steal of a quad-doub.

Can't get enough of Super Sugar Crisp
It keeps me goin' STRONG!

[Jimcs50]

Where did Len Elmore play college ball?

:smokin

[Marcus Bryant]

Minnesota State.

[whottt]

WCF: Horry and Cassell



Close but forgot Whitney, Eisley and Murray...at least you got Cassell...Shoogar should be embarrassed.

[Solid D]

Name the only MVP of the NBA Finals who played for the losing team.

[ShoogarBear]

Jerry West, 1970.

[Solid D]

That's correct Sugar.


Next question...

What Spur came within 1 steal of being the second player in NBA history to record a quadruple double?

Was it Johnny Moore? I have not googled.

[whottt]

-Eisely and Murray I would have never remembered in a million years.



-Correct on DRob and George Johnson (who did it twice).

Actually...Drob lead the league in total blocks twice.


-Johnny Moore came within one steal of a quad-doub.

Can't get enough of Super Sugar Crisp
It keeps me goin' STRONG!


They'reeeeeeeee Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhht.

[whottt]

Was it Johnny Moore? I have not googled.

Yeap...

[whottt]

Who were the first set of teamates to lead the league in rebounding and scoring in the same season?

[whottt]

What player was a teamate of Larry Bird and got struck out by Nolan Ryan?

[2pac]

What player was a teamate of Larry Bird and got struck out by Nolan Ryan?
Ainge

[ShoogarBear]

Who were the first set of teamates to lead the league in rebounding and scoring in the same season?

Again, discounting the years Wilt and Mikan did it by themselves?

DRob and Rodman did it once, I dunno if they were first. Given it's a whottt question, that's probably the answer.


What player was a teamate of Larry Bird and got struck out by Nolan Ryan?

Danny Ainge.

[2pac]

What was the last shot Moses Malone took in the NBA?

[whottt]

A bad one for the Spurs?

[ShoogarBear]

It wouldn't have been the half-court shot he hit for the Spurs, would it?

[whottt]

2 Pac and Shoogar got it right...and yes discounting the years Wilt and Mikahn did it by themselves...but now that you mentioned it Jerry West actually lead the league in scoring and total assists before Tiny did it.

[2pac]

A bad one for the Spurs?

There was something special about it. Anyone who was a Spurs fan probably remembers it and I doubt Google can help.

[2pac]

It wouldn't have been the half-court shot he hit for the Spurs, would it?

More like three-quarter court.

[Solid D]

3 Players I can think of played for the Boston Celtics and also played Major League Baseball. Danny Ainge is one, name two others.

[whottt]

Who are the only two players in NBA history to win a scoring title, an MVP and a defensive player of the year award...

[whottt]

3 Players I can think of played for the Boston Celtics and also played Major League Baseball. Danny Ainge is one, name two others.


Chuck Connors, the original rifleman was one of them.

[2pac]

DROB

[2pac]

What former Spur nutted Shaq when he played for Detroit?

[Duff McCartney]

How many players are still active in the NBA from the 94-95 Western Conference Finals(both teams) and who are they?

I think there are only two...Sam and Horry.

[whottt]

Damn Duff...scroll the thread

[Solid D]

Chuck Connors, the original rifleman was one of them.

That's correct - played 1st Base for the Dodgers and Cubs.
Who was the other one? Right now, you have only earned (1) T in your name, Whot.

[ShoogarBear]

3 Players I can think of played for the Boston Celtics and also played Major League Baseball. Danny Ainge is one, name two others.

Chuck Connors.
Gene Conley.

-Name the HoFer who played both NBA and MLB.
-While you're at it, name the MVP who played both.

[whottt]

That's correct - played 1st Base for the Dodgers and Cubs.
Who was the other one? Right now, you have only earned (1) T in your name, Whot.


I just took the easy one...I figured I'd leave the toughie for 2pac...the anti googler...since he's a Spurfan and all.

[2pac]

I have no clue on the baseball players.

Anyone know on the player that hit Snaq in the nuts?

[whottt]

Sean Elliott?

[2pac]

Nope - crazier

[whottt]

Rodman?

[2pac]

Less crazy - I am off to go play ball.

[ShoogarBear]

Bill Curley?

[FromWayDowntown]

Close but forgot Whitney, Eisley and Murray...at least you got Cassell...Shoogar should be embarrassed.

Great slam there, whottt . . . .

but if you're saying that Murray, Whitney, and Eisley played in the 1995 WCF, you're wrong.

The Spurs released Eisley on April 17, 1995 and he never played a single playoff game for SA -- pretty hard to play a playoff game when you're no longer on the roster.

Howard Eisley Stats (http://www.basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=EISLEHO01)

Same goes for Whitney. Whitney was waived before Eisley was, on Februry 23, 1995. Like Eisley, Whitney has never played a single playoff game for the Spurs.

Chris Whitney Stats (http://www.basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=WHITNCH01)

Lastly, Tracy Murray was on the Rockets roster in 1994-95 (like Eisley and Whitney were on the Spurs roster for part of that season) following the Drexler trade, but he did not play in any playoff games for the Rockets -- in fact, he's never played in a playoff game for Houston.

Tracy Murray Stats (http://www.basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=MURRATR01)

The Players who appeared in the 1995 Western Conference Finals were:

Spurs:
1. David Robinson
2. Sean Elliott
3. Dennis Rodman
4. Vinny Del Negro
5. Avery Johnson
6. Chuck Person
7. Terry Cummings
8. J.R. Reid
9. Willie Anderson
10. Doc Rivers
11. Jack Haley
12. Julius Nwosu

Rockets:
1. Hakeem Olajuwon
2. Clyde Drexler
3. Robert Horry
4. Kenny Smith
5. Sam Cassell
6. Mario Elie
7. Charles Jones
8. Pete Chilcutt
9. Chucky Brown
10. Carl Herrera
11. Zan Tabak

Vernon Maxwell also appeared during the 1995 playoffs for the Rockets, but was given a leave of absence by the team on May 2 of that playoff season.


Name the HoFer who played both NBA and MLB3 Players I can think of played for the Boston Celtics and also played Major League Baseball.

Dave DeBusshere

[samikeyp]

I was gonna be nice until Aussie Jesus was mocked! Someone said a bad word about Andrew Gaze? :spin

To answer Whottt's question...I am going to say one...Robert Horry.

[samikeyp]

oops forgot about Cassell....good call.

[ShoogarBear]

Ahh, vindication. Thanks FWD.

Also, right on DeBusschere. Still need to answer the former MVP who played both NBA and MLB?

[whottt]

Jordan...

And I just phrased it incorrectly...I just meant how many players were still active from those teams...

So no, no vindication.

And no excuse for Cassell

[ShoogarBear]

Hmm, did MJ ever actually make it to The Show?

If so, my apologies, that's not who I'm thinking of, and there's another answer.

[whottt]

Is the MVP Jordan?

I can't remember if Jordan took any official MLB At Bats...I think he did...and if it's not Jordan I don't know who else it was.

And I have no idea who hit Shaq in the balls.

[FromWayDowntown]

And I just phrased it incorrectly...I just meant how many players were still active from those teams...

Nice job of changing the question to fit your answer (the original question was: How many players are still active in the NBA from the 94-95 Western Conference Finals(both teams)?).

You asked a question that several people answered correctly, and then you blasted them for missing a question that you never asked.

Are we supposed to be doing the Carnac thing with you?

[FromWayDowntown]

Is the MVP Jordan?

I can't remember if Jordan took any official MLB At Bats...I think he did....

Wrong again. Jordan never appeared in an official MLB game (though he did play for the White Sox in a Wrigley Field exhibition game against the Cubs).

The MVP is Dick Groat, the National League MVP in 1960 (I think) and a one-year wonder with Fort Wayne in the 50's.

[FromWayDowntown]

Here's one, we've gone through HOF'ers who've played for the Spurs, but how many HOF'ers have been drafted by the Spurs?

[SPARKY]

2. DRob and Parrish.

[ShoogarBear]

Groat is the answer I was thinking of.

HOFers drafted by Spurs: none (DRob pending)

However, this is probably a trick question, and there were some future HoFers drafted by the ABA Chapparels who were never actually signed.

[FromWayDowntown]

2. DRob and Parrish.

partial credit - the Spurs did draft The Chief in the 5th round in 1975; so part of your answer is right, but that only answers part of my question.

I'll rephrase my question (lest I be inconsistent) . . . . How many current members of the Basketball Hall-of-Fame were drafted by the Spurs?

[FromWayDowntown]

However, this is probably a trick question, and there were some future HoFers drafted by the ABA Chapparels who were never actually signed.

Actually, that's a good point -- I am talking Spurs franchise, regardless of location.

[whottt]

Nice job of changing the question to fit your answer -- you asked a question that several people answered correctly, and then you blasted them for missing a question that you never asked.

Are we supposed to be doing the Carnac thing with you?

Jeezus chris......The only one I made a big deal about was Casell because he smoked us in the last game of the WCF, how can you forget that guy...and it was a joke anyway.




Just so you know...

That was a carry over question from last night in chat in which we were trying to find the last active members from various Spur teams, that was the last one I asked and no one answered it then...and were not going back and trying to figure who was on the playoff rosters...

For instance...we mentioned Mo Cheeks on the 89 team...we did not disqualify him as being a member of that team because he was traded in mid season and was not on the playoff roster....he was a member of that team...


But you are right I phrased the question wrongly...but I knew the answers I wanted for that question before I asked it...that is why I did not accept the answers that did not fit it...

From now I will remove all sense of personality and give robotic emotionless answers lacking any attempts at humor or anything else...so I don't fuck you up in the future...

Happy now?

Live long and prosper!

[SPARKY]

Then one. Parrish.

[FromWayDowntown]

But you are right I phrased the question wrongly...but I knew the answers I wanted for that question before I asked it...that is why I did not accept the answers that did not fit it...

Just saying that it's really hard to answer a question if you don't even really know what the question is. That's all.


From now I will remove all sense of personality and give robotic emotionless answers lacking any attempts at humor or anything else...so I don't fuck you up in the future...

Look, man, I have no problem, other than you pushing around people who can't read your mind and answer questions that you haven't asked. . . . you're pretty unforgiving when it comes to people misstating what they actually mean -- just saying that street goes both ways.

[FromWayDowntown]

Then one. Parrish.

My hint is that there are 2 more, both from the Chapparal days.

[samikeyp]

Tiny Archibald was one

[whottt]

Look, man, I have no problem, other than you pushing around people who can't read your mind and answer questions that you haven't asked. . . . you're pretty unforgiving when it comes to people misstating what they actually mean -- just saying that street goes both ways.



whottt has it wrong, since he put down Moore as the scoring leader and Gervin as the assist leader.


I see no one can match my knowledge of 1970's cereal commercials...you guys are pathetic.

[FromWayDowntown]

Tiny Archibald was one

Tiny is one -- drafted in 1970. There is one other; a guy who is still around the NBA . . . .

[SPARKY]

Say man, you said Spurs. I don't even know what the hell a Chapparal is.

[FromWayDowntown]

Say man, you said Spurs. I don't even know what the hell a Chapparal is.

Right. But in the spirit of correcting my question before jumping on people who didn't come up with my answer, I also posted this:


Actually, that's a good point -- I am talking Spurs franchise, regardless of location.

[samikeyp]

chapparal is a roadrunner

[Guru of Nothing]

I have no clue on the baseball players.

Anyone know on the player that hit Snaq in the nuts?

Alvin Robertson.

[FromWayDowntown]

Here's another question: we probably all know the details of Sean Elliott's Memorial Day Miracle, but which player took the last shot in that game?

[Guru of Nothing]

Here's another question: we probably all know the details of Sean Elliott's Memorial Day Miracle, but which player took the last shot in that game?

Wild-ass guess - Mario Elie.

[FromWayDowntown]

Wild-ass guess - Mario Elie.

It was a wild-ass shot, but it wasn't by Mario.

[Guru of Nothing]

It was a wild-ass shot, but it wasn't by Mario.

My final wild-ass guess - Jaren Jackson

[FromWayDowntown]

My final wild-ass guess - Jaren Jackson

Not Jaren, either.

[Dex]

as long as we're making wildass guesses...Rasheed Wallace?

[FromWayDowntown]

as long as we're making wildass guesses...Rasheed Wallace?

Rasheed is a closer guess -- right team at least. But it's not him.

[ShoogarBear]

I remember it as being Jim Jackson.

It was a shot where they almost could have called a foul on a Spur (Sean?) but there was no way they were going to.

[FromWayDowntown]

I remember it as being Jim Jackson.

It was a shot where they almost could have called a foul on a Spur (Sean?) but there was no way they were going to.

That's really close. Jackson had the second-to-last shot, and it was ahem "blocked" by a Spur.

[FromWayDowntown]

By the way, the other HOF'er drafted by the Spurs organization was Bill Walton in 1972.

Tiny Archibald in 1970
Bill Walton in 1972
Robert Parish in 1975

(and likely David Robinson in 1987, and Tim Duncan in 1997).

[Dex]

Damon Stoudamire? :oops

[FromWayDowntown]

Damon Stoudamire? :oops

Not Mighty Mouse, either.

[Dex]

I give up. I could keep guessing, but I'd just be naming off members of the 99 Blazers at this point.

Somebody take the batteries out of my buzzer.

[FromWayDowntown]

The answer is the Wizard: Walt Williams.

From the wire story after that game:


The shot brought the Spurs all the way back from an 18-point
second-half deficit and gave them their first lead of the game.
They made it stand up as Jimmy Jackson had a shot blocked and
Walt Williams missed a banker before time expired.

A full court shot that went in.

I just got home and was reading this thread, I was not sure if anyone had already answered it, cause I have not gotten through all 6 pages. Thanks Whottt.

[Jimcs50]

When was that that Moses played in SA, it seems like it was back in 94 or 95, right?

[whottt]

Yeah...I think so...

Seriously though...do you know what Piston hit Shaq in the balls?

2Pac asked the fucking question and then left...no one has answered that one and my life has been on hold waiting for the answer...

[Guru of Nothing]

Yeah...I think so...

Apparently, I am on Whottt's ignore list.

[whottt]

LOL you aren't on my ignore list...only bitter AJ fans are :) ....

But I don't think Curley was the answer becausec 2Pac said the guy was crazy...

Are you right? I mean do you know that's the answer?

[Guru of Nothing]

I'm 99% certain it was Alvin Robertson.

[Duff McCartney]

By the way, the other HOF'er drafted by the Spurs organization was Bill Walton in 1972.

Tiny Archibald in 1970
Bill Walton in 1972
Robert Parish in 1975

(and likely David Robinson in 1987, and Tim Duncan in 1997).

God damn, the Spurs could have actually won a title in the early 80s. But then they probably wouldn't have had D Rob, and subsequently, maybe not Duncan either.

[whottt]

I'm 99% certain it was Alvin Robertson.

Good answer...I bet you're right. Lambeeir was gonna be my last guess but I think he was out of the league by the time Shaq was around...

[whottt]

God damn, the Spurs could have actually won a title in the early 80s. But then they probably wouldn't have had D Rob, and subsequently, maybe not Duncan either.


They were close even without those guys....


If you think that was some nice drafting..the Virginia Squires actually had Dr.J and the Iceman...

[2pac]

Sorry - just got back from my game.

It was Alvin Robertson that nutted Shaq. He caught a right hook for it that grazed his face in typical NBA fight fashion.

[Jimcs50]

They were close even without those guys....


If you think that was some nice drafting..the Virginia Squires actually had Dr.J and the Iceman...

But Ice was not that good then cuz he was a forward on that team and he only got good when he shifted to guard.

[Jimcs50]

And yes, I think it was Bill Lambeer, I am almost positive. Was Alvin even on Detroit when Shaq was in the league?

[timvp]

Damn, I leave and come back and I miss this thead. :bang

More questions, please.

I guess I'll throw one out there. Which current player associated with the Spurs played with LeBron James when they were in high school?

No.

It can not be Wilks, he is too old.

There is no correct answer

Yes there is.

On the Spurs???

[2pac]

Dude isnt playing with the Spurs right now - he is with the organization. Other than that, I have no clue.

[Solid D]

I'm back ya'll. ShoogarBear was correct on the other 2 Boston Celtics to play MLB.
Chuck Connors of TV Rifleman fame
Gene Conley - RHP who played for the Red Sox and I think the Indians. He was actually very good. He was an MLB All-Star 2 or 3 years.

Wild guesses - Lamond Murray and Tyrone Nesby. I think I also remember something about Larry Stewart and Ken the Animal Bannister...but it's fuzzy on them.

[timvp]

Tyrone Nesby and Larry Stewart were correct.

Nice job.

P.S.

No ideas on the LeBron James question?

[Jimcs50]

Willie McGee

Wrong sport there, sport.

Didn't Tony play in the Nike Hoops tourney against US High School kids? I'll guess TP.

St. V-M grads to be reunited

James and Lithuanian competed against each other in open gyms

By Tom Reed

Beacon Journal staff writer


ATHENS, GREECE - LeBron James won't be the only St. Vincent-St. Mary graduate who steps on the court today when the U.S. Olympic basketball team faces Lithuania.

Robertas Javtokas, who jokingly insists he's the reason James chose St. V-M, will be in the lineup for undefeated Lithuania.

While James' inclusion in the Olympics is no surprise, Javtokas' basketball future was in doubt two years ago when he broke his leg in a motorcycle accident in his native Lithuania.

``I'm so happy he is back playing the game,'' James said. ``He is a great guy and a good talent.''

A former second-round pick of the San Antonio Spurs, the 6-foot-11 forward is coming off the bench for Lithuania. He scored 11 points Thursday night in a 98-76 victory over Greece.

The game will be of vital interest to Bob and Becky Kelly, who sponsored Javtokas and fellow Lithuanian Donatas Zauackas. Each attended St. V-M in the 1998-99 school year.

``Robertas thinks they will give the U.S. a run,'' said Bob Kelly, who's had 12 international exchange students in his and his wife's Granger Township home. ``He thinks they can compete for the gold medal.''

While the Americans have struggled to a 2-1 record with an opening-game loss to Puerto Rico, the Lithuanians have jumped to a 3-0 start.

``I don't know much about them, but I know they are one of the better teams here,'' James said.

The Cavaliers' star can vouch for Javtokas' character.

Ruled ineligible to play by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, both Lithuanians continued to faithfully practice. James competed against Javtokas in open gyms and recognized his talent.

``Robertas used to tell LeBron that he was the reason LeBron picked St. V's,'' Kelly said.

The Lithuanians earned college scholarships, Javtokas to Arizona and Zauackas to the University of Pittsburgh. Javtokas played one season before beginning his professional career at home. Zauackas also is playing in Europe.

Javtokas' rapid improvement got him drafted, but the 2002 motorcycle accident jeopardized his career. A truck driver who did not see Javtokas turned left into him. The force of the collision sent him flying several dozen yards.

He diligently rehabbed the injury and returned to the game. He has been a key contributor to his club team, Lietuvos Rytas, the past two seasons.

The 24-year-old is honored to be part of the national team, Kelly said.

``I'm looking forward to it,'' James said. ``It's always great to play for your country, and we both know that feeling.''
