The first one as a guessing game would be hard as to how someone chooses to be offended or puts on a show pretending to be offended.

How could you not include the Malice at the Palace?! Probably the craziest thing ever to happen in the NBA, and definitely the best of the monikers the media has bestowed on events, across all sports, politics, and weather.

When you have too many answers in the same category, it becomes easy to just guess them without actually knowing the trivia

It's crazy that we're closer in time to Linsanity than Linsanity is to Space Jam.

Really makes you think.

Linsanity is also closer to the reign of Cleopatra than Cleopatra was to the building of the Great Pyramid.

More options for Wemby would be appreciated. I got credit for Popovich and Antetonkoumpo that were not particularly close, but one letter off on Wemby was a miss.

If "Wemby" is accepted for "Wembanyama", "Iggy" should be accepted for "Iguodala", as that was a fairly common nickname for him in his prime. :-)
