They own the Forum along with Madison Square Garden.
Edit: Dude moved to Canada when he was 18 months. Born in Johannesburg S.A. Ugh...
for a single season" you forgot the legend tony snell 2019-2020 season
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"?
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.
