The triangle offense was the brainchild of Phil Jackson, not Winter.

I don't like basketball - too intense for me - but I got almost half the answers. No points, though. I'll keep trying.

Just took it again and scored 14 out of 26, but it shows I got 5 points this time. I'll never understand the points system.

Could you accept "Hakeem" as a typo for Hakeem Olajuwon? Thanks! I really enjoyed this quiz btw.
