Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 1164

Stockton played 19 amazing seasons, all with the Utah Jazz from 1984 to 2003. He led the league in assists 9 times, every year from 1987 to 1995.

2. Michael Jordan had one of the most amazing careers in the NBA, leading the league in points 11 times. How many points did he have in his highest scoring season?

Answer: 3041

Jordan retired (the first time) in 1993 after the Bulls won the championship. He did not play the 1993-94 season, and when he came back for the 1994-95 season, he was injured and was only able to play in 17 games. He was, however, invited to play in the All-Star game every other year in his career, a total of 14 appearances.

Answer: 4657

You would think someone who spent that much time under tha basket would have a pretty high rebound total too. He did with 17,440.

Answer: 1st overall pick

Hakeem was rightfully chosen 1st in the draft. Averaging 3.1 blocks per game, and finishing up his career with 13,748 rebounds, Olajuwon was a terror under the basket, both on offense and defense.

Answer: Larry Bird

Bird was a shooting dynamo, finishing his career with 21,791 points. He also contributed 1556 steals, 5695 assists, and 8974 total rebounds.

Answer: David Robinson

Robinson was drafted out of the Naval Academy and was appropriately nicknamed "The Admiral". He finished his career with 20,790 points, 10,497 rebounds, and 2954 blocks.

Answer: 1969-70

Chamberlain only played 12 games in the 1969-70 season due to injury. Although he only started 12 games, he still scored 328 points that season, which if you do the math, is still over 27 points per game.

8. 2008 was an impressive year for Hall of Fame inductees. Along with long time coach Pat Riley, three players were inducted that year. Adrian Dantley, Hakeem Olajuwon, and who?

Answer: Patrick Ewing

Taken with the 1st overall pick in the 1985 draft, Ewing played for 17 years in the NBA, 15 of those years with the New York Knicks. Patrick didn't really dominate in any one category, but was consistently good in all categories throughout his career, finishing with 24,815 points, 11,607 rebounds, and 2894 blocks.

Answer: Bill Russell

Russell was part of what some call the most influential trades in professional sports history. During Russell's 13 years with the franchise, the Celtics won 11 NBA Championships. He led the league in rebounding 4 times, and was invited to 12 All-Star games.

Answer: 36,928

Malone racked up 36,928 points in his astonishing career. Playing in 14 All-Star games, "The Mailman" will forever be remembered as one player that could always deliver when needed.
