    Saw this cover again a few days ago and thought it'd be a good test.
    How many of y'all can name everyone on the cover? How many tries did you need?
    I figure those over 30 can get this easily.:grin:

    [​IMG]

    Bottom row l-r Ray Allen, Kerry Kittles, Samaki Walker
    Top row l-r Marcus Camby, Stephon Marbury, Kobe Bryant, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Jermaine O'Neal, Steve Nash, John Wallace, Antoine Walker
    You can cross check here after you try to name the players. No peeking :mad:

    Very nice pic. They should have included iverson. kobes the last one left.

    Takes me back in time. 1996-97 season. NBA at 50 season. Rockets were great that year.

    Memories.

    Marbury and Garnett should have dominated for a long time together :(

    Wondered what would happen if the Blazers kept O'Neal; would he be the player he turned out to be in Indiana?

    John Wallace, honestly forgot all about him. Only noticed Samaki Walker because he was legendary level ugly.

    I figured JW would be the tricky one for most. JW and maybe Samaki.

    I got them all except for John Wallace. Which is funny since I had him pegged to be one of the best in this class. The way he lead Syracuse to the National Championship game and all.

    Me too. The only two I couldnt remember were Wallace and Walker. Man! Been hating Kobe since '96. That's commitment.

    The reverse for me I guess. Been loving Kobe since 95-96. That's commitment too.
