Anyone notice how they visited the motel where Martin Luther king was shot and learned a little more about black history in the Memphis game. Do teams do this all the time? Did it help some our players bond a little better or give them a sense of pride to win the game?

Jazz lose by 5. No name players go off for 30 each.

I believe 5.

Although I do recall a game in the Greek League somewhere 15+ years ago where a team came down with food poisoning and could only dress 3 players. Because of insane rules at the time in the league where a team was awarded 1 point for a loss, 2 for a win, but 0 for a forfeit; they actually played.

The other team ran up a 40 point lead quickly, then played 3-on-3 the rest of the way.

I believe you have to have 8 "active" players. I remember a few years ago I believe during the really bad year that we only 8 but played pretty competitively.

Maybe it was the guys on the team who actually read coming up with this. Considering the current state of the NBA, we have a surprising number of players with college degrees(three, I believe).

I seem to remember the Warriors being so banged up a few years ago that they only put 4 guys on the court for part of a game.

Can you imagine ...??

21%....

staggering.

 

[JimLes]

According to this NY Times article from 2 years ago, that's exactly the percentage of NBA players who hold degrees.

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/sports/basketball/06nba.html

About 21 percent of current N.B.A. players have undergraduate degrees, Rothstein Murman said.

Raja has a degree in Sports Management he finished a year ago. Evans has a General degree with a focus in Fine Arts. Watson seems to have gotten a history degree.

Players enter the draft early. Why exactly are we making a big deal out of that?

Because some people value education over other things? I don't know.

I think I'll wait until there is more than one page, so that I don't have to look at that photo every time.

Then you better hope they lose cause I'm working on some really juicy stuff for part 3 of the streak.

Wow, so....maybe they might forfiet? That's 6 guys out....how many do you have to have in order to play a game?

Did you mean Kaman or did Okafor clone himself?

It's the common man's way of trying to find something they are better at than pro athletes.
