An NBA true/false quiz with no question about an All-Star & NBA champion whose nickname was "The Truth"? I would've loved to have seen the question you came up with for that one, QM.

Good for you mate. The bubble had absolutely nothing to do with the exertion of effort the players put into their game.

Please use this argument when you win an NBA title and a finals MVP with three different teams. I love when people will use absolutely ANYTHING against LeBron.

There's not a shred of truth to that claim. The Globetrotters were never in the NBA. Nor were they in the BAA, which was renamed the NBA when it absorbed teams from the NBL. Nor were they ever in the NBL, although some individual Globetrotters played in the NBL during WWII.

Amazing. I have absolutely no knowledge about the NBA and still managed to get 14/15, just from thinking about the logic behind asking each question. In retrospect, I should have gotten the punch one as well.

Stephen Curry has actually dunked since 2019.

For the first time in six years, The Golden State Warriors star had the ball alone for a seemingly easy uncontested layup, when he instead threw down a one-handed jam against the 76ers.

Curry dunked for the first time since Feb. 21, 2019, at the Warriors' old home, the Oracle Arena. Curry noted -- After he scored 29 points and 13 assists Saturday night's loss to Philadelphia -- He never dunked at the new home, the Chase Center.

For good measure, the four-time NBA Champion and league career 3-point leader says he never will.

Curry, who turns 37 this month, said after the game he was retired from dunking.

Curry's breakway dunk cut the 76ers' lead to 109-104 midway through the 4th quarter.

"I've been feeling pretty good,' Curry said. "I've been dealing with some knee stuff all year. Take advantage of a cherry-pick opportunity. That will probably be my last dunk, though. I'm calling it right now, that was the last one you'll ever see."

I was going to say the same: Curry dunked recently.
