How is Kobe Bryant the correct answer to Points (game, 1963)? Wilt Chamberlain holds the single game record with 100 points.

I thought of ever known three point shooter except for Ray. I thought of Korver, Curry, Bird, and Miller and completely forgot about Ray. Maybe its because he didnt play this season

Sad that only 76 percent of people knew Warriors won 73 games this season. See my name?

dont let that distract you from the fact that the Warriors won 73 games only to lose a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals

Because the refs and Lebron cheated. The League wanted Lebron to win a title in Cleveland.

With Green not suspended, the Warriors win.

Green should be suspended in half the games he plays. He does the same things that get any other player a technical consistently and just never gets the call

they lost because Green couldn't control himself, even though he knew that the next technical meant suspension of one game-selfish.

I thought of them, but didn't use it. I thought it was a players only quiz so I tried listing the Warrior players' names that I knew.

They don't count as coaching wins. There are two different questions: one for most as a player and one for most as a coach.

Yes, you are the only one. We know about Reed, Frasier, Monroe, Barnett, Debusschere, Cazzie, Bradley, Monroe, and Bibby. But who the heck is Fil Jaxon?

You forgot the most important record of all: the only player to run into the stands and start an all-out rumble between the players and fans. Ron Artest, you legend.

I said *start* the rumble. Artest is the only player to run into the stands and start a fight. The other players followed him.

I think the years for some of the career-spanning averages are off. For example, Magic Johnson's first season was 1979, so I think counting his career APG as starting from 1980 is wrong. It threw me off as I was trying to think who the heck in the 1980 draft averaged that many assists in their career! Same goes for Hakeem (1984 draft, not 1985).

Needs update. Mac McClung has tied Nate Robinson for most dunk contest wins with 3. You could also rephrase the question as most consecutive wins in slam dunk and only have McClung

I love how you had to create an obscure stat in order to get Kobe listed. Like you created the quiz of all these all-time stats, realized he didn't make the cut on any of them, so threw one in at the end that he could claim lol
