Short answer: You're someone with too much time on your hands. Long answer(s): I got all but two, I think, which is about how well you did on the questions (see below). After I finished, I looked up answers where I could ... the ones I got wrong, I'll let others keep guessing. #1. Kobe Bryant? (WRONG) #2. Kevin Willis? #3. Glen Rice. #4. Mo Taylor. #5. This one stumped me, and then I looked at the '99 draft and found that NO second-round pick has a name ending in "S." So I count that as a right answer. #6.Derrick Coleman. #7.Jason Williams? (You screwed up the stats, though -- 8.1 apg and 3.3 TOs/game doesn't match anyone.) #8.Chris Gatling. #9.Bo Outlaw. #10.Shareef Abdur-Rahim? (WRONG) [This message has been edited by Swopa (edited November 23, 2000).]
You're wrong about #7. I was wrong about #5 being drafted in the second round. He was a first-rounder. The original post has been modified. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
I'll try and answer the ones that haven't already been answered #1Tracy McGrady? #7John Stockton? #10Shawn Marion? ------------------ I'm not the type to eat it up but the type to hit it raw dog and seed it up.
Fade ... I think you've got someone's skin color wrong. Though I grant it would be hard to tell if you didn't know who his dad is (or was). Summer ... 0 for 3, sorry. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Swopa (edited November 23, 2000).]
#7Mike Bibby then ------------------ I'm not the type to eat it up but the type to hit it raw dog and seed it up.
I know is Bibby right though? ------------------ I'm not the type to eat it up but the type to hit it raw dog and seed it up. [This message has been edited by Summer Song Giver (edited November 23, 2000).]
But Regis #7 was not my final answer Bibby is my final but he's not white or black it's a new race,let's just call it kidd ------------------ I'm not the type to eat it up but the type to hit it raw dog and seed it up.

Pretty good tacoma. You've got them all except for #1 and #5, which is Kenny Thomas. No one has solved #1 yet. Bibby looks white to me. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
Is #1 Jermaine ONeal? He's around that age and putting up good numbers so far. ------------------ "Don't blame me. I think I voted for Gore." -Florida bumpersticker
You got it, Sam. Fade ... Bibby's dad (Henry Bibby) played in the NBA during the '70s, when you could tell a player's race by his hairstyle (i.e., he had an Afro). ------------------
I object to #5. How can you call Kenny Thomas a good 3 point shooter? He's 2-12 this year after shooting under 20% last year as well. ------------------
He ment "I can shoot my team in the foot" ------------------ And Florida's 25 electoral votes go to ...Ralph Nader
I object to #5. How can you call Kenny Thomas a good 3 point shooter? He's 2-12 this year after shooting under 20% last year as well. Umm.. that's the whole point. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
#1 - Jemaine O'neal. the guy is playing great this year. ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
