Is Strawberry a color? Like strawberry blonde? I can’t think of who the last one is unless there was someone I don’t know with the last name Black…or an obscure color I don’t know haha

Re: Bobster's Trivia Corner
There's actually two more! One was a 10-day contract guy, the other has maintained a high profile since retiring from the NBA just under 20 years ago.

Re: Bobster's Trivia Corner
Well, but the question says five colors, not five player names. I already got that color, so it wasn't necessary to list the other players for that same last name / color. (And, come on, I remember those guys; they were/are great!)Superbone wrote: ↑Sat Jan 03, 2026 10:04 amMori Chu wrote: ↑Sat Jan 03, 2026 9:47 amHah, this is a fun question.

Re: Bobster's Trivia Corner
So far you all have got
BROWN - Chucky Brown, Dee Brown, Gerald Brown, Lorenzo Brown, Mike Brown, Randy Brown, Shannon Brown
GREEN - A.C. Green, Gerald Green, Jalen Green, Lamar Green
ROSE - Jalen Rose
WHITE - Jahadi White, Rory White
I knew the remaining one would be the hardest. I certainly don't remember him!

Re: Bobster's Trivia Corner
here's a stab at it
Green: A.C., Lamar
White: Jahidi
Brown: Shannon
Redd (sp): Michael
Gray: Josh (10-day) I cheated on this one, did Google "Grey" and "Gray"
Green: A.C., Lamar
White: Jahidi
Brown: Shannon
Redd (sp): Michael
Gray: Josh (10-day) I cheated on this one, did Google "Grey" and "Gray"
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

And you would have probably found him quicker with a search at Basketb-Reference.com
And in other news, my copy of the Suns 1969-70 media guide that I bought on eBay showed up in the mail today! I still need 1968-69, 1970-71, 1971-72, 1972-73 and 1974-75 to have all the ones that were put out in hard copy.
