Damn. I don’t even think of LeBron with Ray being a Celtics fan. Automatically went to Pierce.

It is astounding the answers were confined to 4 correct. I bet he played with over 75 guys!

It's more astounding that one of them was Kevin Ollie.

I'm so pissed that I put Tim Coles here, when I later remembered Corny Thompson and used him as another answer. This was a point killer.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

It's more astounding that one of them was Kevin Ollie.

...and that somebody made that a 'sheep' choice (says somebody who chose Taliek Brown as his NY recruit)

Also, @uconnphil2016, no shame in choosing Pierce over LeBron even if you didn't object to his mercenary move.

Dam. I had Lebron, but changed it because there's so damned many Celtics fans here, that I figured Pierce would get more recognition that Lebron. Oh, well, it's only an 8 point difference.

Taliek was a McD AA from NY. No shame there. As a recruit he's as good as anybody we got from NY. I almost went with Pierce and then remembered LeBron. A bit shocked at no Dwayne Wade answer.

 

[Marbles90]

I did the exact same thing. Had LeBron and thought most folks will think Celtics and changed it to Pierce. Gotta go with your instincts, I guess. Oh well, it knocked me out of first but like you said, not far behind...

Someone should have answered Tim Thomas. Did you know Kevin Freeman was a high school teammate of his?

There is an insider joke, boneyard trivia version of this that would be fantastic.

Most of the questions would be rhetorical, like why didn't JC recruit Ryan Gomes, how many dimes did JC give back, how much is a Hilton unit and what is meant by 20 minutes...

How big are Kawhi Leonard’s hands?

 

[David 76]

Mau's answer to UConn player 6' 11" or taller?

"None!"

 

[RichZ]

Where did/will Ray Kasongo finish his college career?

Kasongo: Proper noun or verb?

So much better that I deleted mine.

Well, on the name a player taller than.....? question, I figured a 15 year running joke on this board was a good choice. Nope.

I feel like I am doing well, but a couple clunkers can really set you back. This is fun though. Long time, first time.

 

[Dove]

Whew...George Mason was THE(!!) f'in loss that stood out. Then UCLA.
