Guessed them all as I know nothing about basketball. Got 8 questions right, among which were the 3 least guessed. On the other hand, missed 2 of the top 3 most guessed.

Question #15 is a bit misleading as Jordan teamed up with Hill in three all-star games. Fun quiz though!

"These rules changed included widening the lane, instituting offensive goaltending and revising rules governing inbounding the ball and shooting free throws (Chamberlain would leap with the ball from behind the foul line to deposit the ball in the basket)." according to:

Sorry, no. I will only accept video evidence.

You won't find any video because it didn't happen. Chamberlain's free throw shooting percentage, except for the times when he shot underhanded, was terrible.
