Answer: John Stockton

What more is there to say about this man? At only 6' 1" he truly is the greatest NBA player in history inch for inch!

2. Who is the NBA all-time leader in blocked shots (Careful with the spelling!)?

Answer: Hakeem Olajuwon

Hakeem Olajuwon played for the Houston Cougars before leaping to the Houston Rockets. His team won championships in 1994 and 1995, all the while anchored by Hakeem and his outstanding defensive skills.

3. What NBA player scored 100 points in one game, in 1962?

Answer: Wilt Chamberlain

No other NBA player has ever scored over 75 points in a game, truly an amazing feat! Chamberlain's 100 points were scored against the New York Knicks during a season when he averaged 50 points a game!

4. What is the nickname of Earvin Johnson?

Answer: Magic

Earvin 'Magic' Johnson was an outstanding guard for the Michigan State Spartans before entering the NBA in 1980 and winning five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers.

5. Who has the highest career scoring average, for the playoffs, in NBA history?

Answer: Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan's career scoring average in the playoffs in 33.4 points per game. Jordan also holds the record for highest career scoring average in the regular season with 30.1 points per game (tied with Wilt Chamberlain).

6. Who is the only player from the Utah Jazz to win the NBA most valuable player award?

Answer: Karl Malone

Karl Malone actually won the MVP award twice, in 1997 and in 1999. Sadly, however, he failed to win the more important NBA title trophy...having to satisfy himself with two Maurice Podoloff trophies.

7. Who was the first player to average a triple-double in points, rebounds, and assists, in a single NBA season?

Answer: Oscar Robertson

Oscar Robertson, also called the 'Big O', accomplished this amazing feat during the 1962 season (30.8 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 11.4 apg). I think it's safe to say that he averaged another triple-double in his 1964 MVP season, with averages of 31.4 ppg, 11.0 apg and 9.9 rpg...wow!

8. What NBA franchise has won the most NBA championships?

Answer: Boston Celtics

The Celtics have won an amazing 16 titles, but have been stuck on that unlucky number since the mid-1980s. The Lakers are a second with a total of 11 titles.

9. What NBA team averaged 126.5 points per game during the 1981-82 season, setting an NBA record?

Answer: Denver Nuggets

The high flying and high scoring Nuggets were coached by Doug Moe and starred Alex English, Dan Issel and a cast of fast running, slam dunking hoopsters whose number one goal was to outscore their opponents!

10. Who began his stint as commissioner of the NBA in 1984?

Answer: David Stern

Stern has helped guide the NBA to greater heights, with a little assist from players such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and of course, John Stockton and Karl Malone.
