NBA trivia

[attamarrap]

not greg anthony. I cant give too many clues but i will say he was white, and was a guard.

was it brent price I remember they signed him to a big contract (to big for him)

 

[Mr Saab]

not brent price either.
I dont think many people will have heard of him (unless you FOLLOW your NBA hard)
Canadian Steve will prob get it as he has "books" ;-)

 

[CanadianSteve]

Bobby Hurley? (from memory, no looking it up)

 

[Mr Saab]

not mr hurley.
u will have to look it up steve...do your research!
I was watching an old NBA action and the clip came up about this!

 

[CanadianSteve]

No I had to look it up - it was Kevin Pritchard. A good player at U. of Kansas, but not a great NBA player.

What do Jalen Rose, Mike Bibby, and Kobe Bryant have in common?


Not the type of question you can look up.

they all have the letter "e" in their name

 

[Goldthorpe]

- Rose (from Michigan '95) has played for Denver, Indiana, Chicago and Toronto (drafted by Denver @ #13)

- Bibby (from Arizona '00) has played for Vancouver and Sacto (drafted by Van @ #2)

- Kobe (Lower Merion HS '96) has only played for Lakers (drafted by Charlotte Hornets @ #13)

I got no idea???

 

[CanadianSteve]

No, something more specific and basketball related.

*edit* refers to the post about having the letter e in their names

 

[Goldthorpe]

?????

 

[CanadianSteve]

The thing I'm thinking of has to do with their backgrounds.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Bibby was born in Cherry Hill, NJ, played High School in Az, played college in AZ
Rose was born in Detroit, MI, played High School in MI, played college in MI
Bryant was born in Philadelphia, PA, played High School in PA

 

[CanadianSteve]

Family backgrounds.

 

[Goldthorpe]

I know Joe Bryant played in the NBA......
is Henry Bibby, Mike Bibby's father??
Nothing on Jalen....

 

[CanadianSteve]

Henry Bibby is Mike's dad, yes. They are not close. Jalen similarly has a father who played in the NBA, who didn't marry his mother, but Jalen didn't take his last name.

So you've got the basic answer, all 3 had fathers who played NBA. But who was Jalen Rose's father? Charlie will know.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Jimmy Walker!!!!

 

[CanadianSteve]

Yes. Quite a good guard for the Pistons and Kings (in Kansas City).

Yes. Quite a good guard for the Pistons and Kings (in Kansas City).

It took some research and asking some mates, but i got there.

Keep asking away!

 

[CanadianSteve]

It's your turn if you want.

But can you name any other 2nd generation current NBA players? There are 2 brothers I can think of right away. I have to think about whether there are any more besides Rose, Bibby, Bryant and the 2 brothers I'm thinking of.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Nah i prefer to answer the questions.......

2 brothers, hmmmmm
