#7: mikan, same criteria as above.

#8: west and hondo

#9: walton again

#11: maybe terry dischinger?

1. Kwame, Kandi, Never Nervous Pervis? I'm fairly certain about the first two, last one was a guess (maybe Bargnani?)

5. Walton for sure, next I'm guessing Glenn Robinson.

7. Walton.

12. Bowen is one.

13. Don Nelson. not sure about the other.

14. Atlanta Hawks. Grizzlies?

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Kwame and Pervis are correct. Kandi made the 2nd team.

7. no

12. No, I'm talking Olympics only(1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004) not the qualifiers this past summer. Oh and theres actually 3 of them.

13. Nelson is right

14. Atlanta is right, Memphis had Gasol as ROY.

Assani,

Goddamn some of these are tough, as for

"5. Two #1 overall picks have won the 6th man of the year award. Name them."

One is Bill Walton, the other one is making my head hurt trying to figure out. Partly because I can't remember all the sixth man winners, partly because I can't remember all the #1 overall picks.

"8. Nine guys have made 13 or more all star teams. Name the two of them that have never won an MVP award."

One is John Havlicek.

[/ QUOTE ]

Walton and Havlicek are each correct and 1/2 of the answers.

Sticking with the Celtics theme, I'm gonna go with Sam Jones. I know he made a lot of them.
