It's a little nitpicky, and I only knew that it was a company because of their recent legal issues with Steve Ballmer and the Clippers, but Madison Square Garden is a corporation. It is more commonly referred to as the MSG company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Madison_Square_Garden_Company

They own the Forum along with Madison Square Garden.

Nice one! Madison Square Garden had me stumped. I had no idea that Manute Bol recorded a quadruple double! And Michael Jordan was a 1st pick! I didn't know that either ;)

For 'Player listed at 7'6" or taller' you should also accept Slavko Vraneš (even though he played only once in the NBA, he still counts as he is 2.29m/7'6'' tall too).

Maybe change the wording on the stadium question. I wrote crypto.com because it's a privately held company. Then ran through them trying to think which ones weren't corporations.

Most corporations are privately held. You seem to be misunderstanding how these terms are used. Madison Square Garden is the only correct answer.

Good quiz, I agree.

One nitpick, Madison Square Garden is owned by Madison Square Garden Corp, ticker symbol MSGS on the NYSE. So it is named for a corporation. Maybe you could reword the question, though it's hard to do so succinctly, maybe "NBA arena without secondary advertisement naming rights"?

Not that I am complaining but...

Why ask an Olympics Basketball question in an NBA quiz that doesn't directly ask about NBA players on those teams.Took me a minute to figure out why Manu wasn't accepted then I thought maybe I was wrong and maybe Argentina got the Silver that year and tried Sabonis and was stumped again before rereading.

Maybe a better question would be name a non American to win a Olympic gold medal and score more than X points in the NBA.
