    George Gervin score 33 in a quarter. Jordan gave the game winning assist to Paxon. Hakeem and Sam Bowie were drafted ahead of Jordan. Hill and Kidd were the joint ROY winners. Jeff Hornacek waves hello to his family. I think Pete Maravich owns the NCAA scoring average record. Tiny Archibald led the league in points and assists. First dynasty was the Celtics. Mr Clutch is Jerry West. That is all I think I know.

    Looked up some...

    Sprewell was picked 24th. Wilt scored 100 against the Knicks. 87 ROY was Chuck Person. Hal Greer was apparently a SG. You can't prove how much Oliver Miller weighs right now, probably a lot. 1998 all star game was in New York, I think that's the game Jordan wore his 1st Air Jordan's to. Dantley was a Jazz when he led the league in scoring. The Sonics selected Pippen with their first pick. Deke was born in the Congo. You look up the rest.

    Jordan to Grant to Paxon? I think the gave an assist to Jordan anyway, that's the way it was for him.

    The other disagreement is the Big O or Tiny Archibald leading the league in scoring and assists. I'm pretty sure it was Tiny.

    I have no idea why I typed Dikembe Mutombo here. I am a freaking idiot for that. It was, indeed, Mark Eaton.

    What about the lockout question? Wasn't that in 1998, not 1996?
