Re: Anyone in the mood for some trivia?
3. I was on basketball-reference.com just yesterday and saw this. It was Alonzo Mourning in 1999. Not sure why he got it that year over Shaq who was actually healthy, although he seemed to have a slight post-lockout drop in numbers (talking about Shaq).
4. Christian Okoye 5. '05 Jax at NE '03 Tenn at Bal '02 Ind at NYJ I guess you're counting '99 where Tennessee and Indy both went 13-3, but Tenn was a wild card so when they met in the second round Tenn was 14-3. Also just came to me, this year same deal with Philly at N.O. right? 6. The 2006 Whale's Vagina Chargers 2005 Colts 2004 Steelers 1999 Jags 1998 Vikings 1992 49ers 1990 49ers 1986 Bears 7. I'll guess Mark Eaton? |

Re: Anyone in the mood for some trivia?
My guess would be Detroit 1989-1990, but who knows. I know MJ was the #3 pick, Duncan was #1, Shaq #1.

Re: Anyone in the mood for some trivia?
But I guess it's Philly 1982-1983. But I really know noone on the team. Looks like Thomas was the #2 overall pick, whoops.
