Trivia Time

[travis2]

Now that would be another tough question right there. I can remember Cliff Hagen was a player coach with the Chaps for a while and Tom Nissalke a coach...but that goes way back to when I was a Chaps fan as a kid. Who had worse records than McHone, Travis?

Morris McHone 1983 11-20 .355
Babe McCarthy 1972-73 24-48 .333
Dave Brown 1972-73 4-8 .333

Not really a trivia question but whats your all time favorite quote from a Spurs player?

Mine?

David Robinson after Clifford Robinson went 1-5 FG in a Det-SA
game: "I hate to do it, but I have to give Steve Smith some credit for
his defense. Steve did a nice job of yelling for help every time Cliff
got the ball."

In 1998 when DRob got knocked out by Karl Malone with the elbow and was called for the foul, David had a good quote:

"Yes, I fouled his elbow with the back of my head, I'm guilty"

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Does anyone know the answers to these?
'Anyone want to know the answers to these? I think Chopper knows.

I know that my man EJ wore #42. He played for either Boston or Detroit the year before he was acquired.

The best player the Spurs ever had. . .next to Charles Spider Smith!

Hey, allright!!! Way to go, Chopper! Correct answers are: #42 and Ed played with the Detroit Pistons prior to coming to the Spurs. Edgar later played with the Cleveland Cavaliers, following his 2-year stint with the Silver and Black.

Edgar also participated in the slam dunk contest at one of the All-Star games while he was a Spur but he didn't make it very far. Helicopter did have some serious hops, however, and that Dan Issel smile (no front teeth on top).

David's "What is it? A coloring book?" about Shaq Talks Back in 2001 will always be a great one to me.

It's not from a Spurs player, but I remember Pop once justifying an ejection by saying that he thought a player (I think it was Duncan) who had been ejected earlier, was probably getting lonely. Classic Pop.

"I will not be mishandled" - AJ (following Steve Nash's hard foul in a Spurs v. Suns game).

That is a great quote.


My favorite. . .which I've posted before, was from Mike Mitc . One night after lighting a team up for 38 points he was selected player of the game and was being interviewed on WOAI. The broadcaster said "Mike, you were pretty hot tonight", to which M&M responded "Yeah, I was so hot I could have shot the ball out my ass and it still would have gone in!"

Another favorite was from the Iceman after he played in one of the Legends games at the all-star game. He was THE offense for his squad scoring somewhere around 30 without much effort. I think it was Jim Gray who interviewed him and said to Ice, "It looks like you could still score on anybody." Ice responded "Jim, I may not know a lot about the X's, but I sure do know a lot about the O's!"

[Solid D]

Yeah, I remember the Gervin quote. As I remember it, that Legend's game was the one where a semi-old-timer got injured pretty badly and they quit scheduling Legends games during the All-Star Weekends.

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?

What does this mean?
Man, I'm glad to see I'm still remembered here!

[Jimcs50]

How many Hall of Famers have won the 6th Man award?

[Jimcs50]

You guys suck at NBA knowledge.

comon....anyone?

[Jimcs50]

you guys suck

[ShoogarBear]

Ahem, I'll take a wild guess:

McHale, Walton, and Bobby Jones.

(Actually the only one I got in chat was McHale. I also guess Frank Ramsay, Havlicek, and Billy Cunningham. They all would have won it, but they didn't have the award when they played.)

[MI21]

BNSF party in here.

[Solid D]

Haha! Wow, MI21. Amazing bump, dude.

There was a player who actually played with a toothpick in his mouth while he played...during games...for the Dallas Chaparrals! He thought he was cool and I remember little kids going out an painting their basketballs red, white and blue and dribbling around in their driveways with toothpicks in their mouths.

Anyone know who that player was? He was actually a pretty good player, though not famous. Feel free to use a search engine for that one if you care to.

Since nobody answered this one, I'll answer it now...it's only been 7 years.

Answer: Maurice "Mo" McHartley played with a toothpick in his mouth.

[T Park]

Almost like Caron Butler with the straws in his mouth.
