NBA trivia

[Choppies]

ok people lets test our NBA knowledge
if you answer it right its your turn to ask a question
first up an easy one

which player choked his coach at team training?

 

[edabomb]

Latrell Sprewell.

Who is the youngest player to lead the NBA in points per game for a season?

 

[Choppies]

ill have a wild guess and say Jamal Mashburn

 

[edabomb]

ill have a wild guess and say Jamal Mashburn

Hmm interesting guess but a bit off.

Think very recent history!!!!!

 

[Jonotallica]

LeBron?

 

[edabomb]

No, but hes on par to do so this year. Look at the recent high school graduates who have made a succesful transition to the NBA.

 

[Choppies]

Kobe Bryant

another wild gues as I think he started playing off the bench in his rookie year

 

[edabomb]

No, but getting close. I think this guy was a class after Bryant or so. Started off in a relatively small role, then signed on to a new team as a free agent forming a much hyped combo that never became. Come on people!!!! Just think high scoring high schoolers.........

 

[Goldthorpe]

KG

 

[edabomb]

He was a year or two after KG. Ninth pick in the 1997 Draft!!!!!!!!

 

[Goldthorpe]

T-Mac

 

[edabomb]

T-Mac

CORRECT!!!!

Go for gold Goldthorpe. (PS.Noel Goldthorpe was the man.)

 

[Goldthorpe]

(PS.Noel Goldthorpe was the man.)

You are the MAN!!!

[Mr Saab]

what name was Joe Barry Carroll coined by the media. (not a positive name i must say)

 

[CanadianSteve]

Joe Barely Cares - reflecting his lackadaisical demeanor

 

[Goldthorpe]

Which current NBA player was born in South Africa?

 

[CanadianSteve]

Steve Nash - but raised in Canada from a young age. His brother has played soccer for Canada, and professionally in England btw.

Talk of the great Pacific northwest rivalry in the Seattle thread made me think of this question: Who has been both a player and head coach of both the Blazers and Sonics?
