3) is wrong :cool:

6) Phil Jackson is a very close answer

[Gilla House]

1. timberwolves, magic, heat, hornets, raptors, grizzlies, maverics, pacers, clippers, nuggets, suns, cavaliers, wizards (unless you consider the baltimore bullets), nets (unless you consider syracuse), (i think) hawks, kings, and jazz.

Very impressive, the 1st one though... Technically the Kings have won a championship and they did it in the 50-51 season under a different city.

EDIT: Question 5 is a tricky one, it's actually "inconclusive" how many children Shaq has.

[Gilla House]

lol, true about the shaq kid question
the shortest player to win a slam dunk contest was spud webb of the atlanta hawks, and ive seen 5ft6 and 5'7", but id say 5'7".

[BucsMagicUK]

Red Auerbach, Boston Celtics

7. What is the only team that had a regular season NBA record of 72 wins and only 10 losses?

[itwasallyellow]

Celtics were in the game right? and one of the teams socred 16 points.

EDIT: 16 was by the Celtics before the Shot Clock.

[justplainTerror]

Celtics were in the game right? and one of the teams socred 16 points.

EDIT: 16 was by the Celtics before the Shot Clock.

Was it not the Royals? (aka The Kings) who only scored 8 points throughout the game before the shot clock era?

[itwasallyellow]

I'm not sure. I thought i remembered reading somewhere that the lowest scoring game was 16-17.

i got almost all of the questions from that so y keep trying?

ill do another question since someone got my bulls one, whos the only white guy to win the slam dunk contest?

[justplainTerror]

ill do another question since someone got my bulls one, whos the only white guy to win the slam dunk contest?

Hmmm...yet another good question, which I have no answer for, not even an educated guess. Give clues...

Also, the answer for my 8th question is Phoenix Suns vs. Boston Celtics.

[Whodi86]

For sure the only white guy to win was Brent Barry...for his shitty from the free throw line dunk, that wasn't nearly as close as jordans. He is white, on the other hand, so he gets major handicap, therefore making his dunk spectacular

[Gilla House]

ya barry got some style points there cuz white men cant jump, but he has some pretty damn good hops, even now.

k another question, what famous player did allen iverson cross over twice in a row in the same play in 1996-97 season? (it was on sportscenter forever, ill never forget it)

[Dudison]

Also, the answer for my 8th question is Phoenix Suns vs. Boston Celtics.

That was a 3 OT game and is tied for the record. The Bulls and Suns also played a 3 OT game in the 93 Finals.

[Whodi86]

Gilla- would that happen to be sir Michael Jordan?

My question- Which player(s) has/have won the most 3-point contests?

[Nerdcraft]

Gilla- would that happen to be sir Michael Jordan?

My question- Which player(s) has/have won the most 3-point contests?
Larry Bird won three, I know that, and I know there was a few people with 2

[Dumont]

heres a good one, what is the only team to sweep in the finals to repeat as champs

[Aperitis]

For least amount of points after shot-clock... I think it was the Bulls. About 4 or 5 years ago, they got only 48 or 49 points.

[garnett4mvp]

I suck at trivia. But I can supply it.

Only 2 games have ever been stopped early (before the 48 minutes). What were they?

[Aperitis]

1 was the Detroit and Indiana game, with the fight.

[garnett4mvp]

1 was the detroit and indiana game, with the fight.

Yeah that was one.

[Gilla House]

Gilla- would that happen to be sir Michael Jordan?

My question- Which player(s) has/have won the most 3-point contests?
i never said that

[justplainTerror]

Gilla- would that happen to be sir Michael Jordan?

My question- Which player(s) has/have won the most 3-point contests?

Reggie Miller would be my first guess. Then I would say possibly Brent Barry?

[Nerdcraft]

Naw, I'm almost positive its Bird, I think Berry only won 1, and Reggie 1, he might have won 2 though.

[justplainTerror]

I think Larry Bird is on that list.. yeah pretty positive.

[Shady]

Didn't read everything in this thread but heres a question its pretty easy , which teams scored the most points in a single game and what was the final score?
