Bobster's Trivia Corner

[Split T]

I think we should start with going in blind, but Bobster is gonna have some tricky ones that might lead us to needing to google haha

I will try not to get to out of hand! I figured the players selected to the most All-Star games for different teams would be something that would be figured out if you ask yourself what stars have been the most transient. I will make sure to keep in mind that most fans also haven't been following the team for 50 years.

As for my Julius Erving guess he wouldn't make the 4,000 assists if you don't include his ABA stats and since the NBA doesn't recognize ABA stats he probably shouldn't be included.

I wasn’t trying to say you needed to change anything…just you have more knowledge than me and your questions will be a bit trickier than mine. I enjoyed the all star one…I got 3 of them without looking.

[TOO]

I went in blind, im actually shocked Dream wasn't on that list.

[Split T]

Less assists than I would’ve thought. Only had 3000. Had 800 more blocks than assists.

[Split T]

So missing one for each…I have no clue who the suns guy was…I’m guessing this is a 70s/80s guy? Or am I missing an obvious one haha…

I don’t know on the league wide one either. I’m pretty positive it’s not Bill Russell, but based on your hint, it’s gotta be an old guy. Oscar?

I haven't been active in this thread because I'm usually a couple of days behind, but I'm having a blast reading and guessing. Thanks for posting these!

The NBA player debuted in the 50's, won an MVP award and is still alive (which all apply to Cousy too, I suppose).

The last Suns player is an often-forgotten 1980s player.

No, but Nance was a terrific player and should have made more than 1 All-Star Game here.

Think 'start of the 1980s'
