Chris Duarte is 25 and has played one season and is in the majority of posts.

Lebron James is 36 and has played 19 seasons and has not been mentioned until now.

Therefore, Chris Duarte is the most well known and popular player inthe NBA.

More coincidence than curiosity, but the Mavs having 3 pg’s all born same day same year was an amazing statistical anomaly. Remember it was Barea, Felton, and can’t recall 3rd?

The weirdest NBA game in history occurred on November 8, 1978 (and March 23, 1979) between the Nets and Sixers.

In that game:
--Phil Jackson made his head coaching debut and PLAYED 14 minutes, DESPITE NOT BEING ON THE ACTIVE ROSTER WHEN THE GAME BEGAN.

--Three players PLAYED FOR BOTH TEAMS and a fourth player was on the rosters for both teams.

--THREE technical fouls were called on Bernard King and THREE technical fouls were called on Kevin Loughery (referee Richie Powers was subsequently suspended five games for failure to comply with league procedure).

--Eric Money scored 37 points for the Nets, but was only credited for 23, and he also scored 4 points for the Sixers.

--The game lasted 75 minutes and 50 seconds, but no player officially played more than 43.

--Players in the game included the fathers of: NBA players Kobe Bryant and Mike Bibby, WNBA great Tamika Catchings, singer India Arie, and current Northwestern coach (and former Duke player) Chris Collins.

--Four referees worked the game.

--The Nets lost in both regulation and double overtime.

On 6/13/97 Jordan won his fifth ring by closing out the Jazz 4-2. Game after the “flu game”

Confirmed he’ll win 5 rings.

Tom Heinsohn played in the NBA for 9 years, and never missed the Finals.

(He did, however, have one season when he didn't win the championship.)

[Fencer reregistered]

John Thompson, later a famous college coach, played in the NBA 2 seasons, winning a championship both years. He's the only example I know of, although I wouldn't be surprised if there were others, or maybe even a 3-year guy.

[Rockazoids]

Carmelo Anthony being 37 yr old & being in the NBA for about 19 yrs, and not a very good defender average more BPG 0.8 than a

I've read a law book by Francis Bacon. He's cool.



By the way, which Francis Eggs do you mean?

Is it Francis "Sunny Side" Eggs .... or Francis "Eggs" Benedict?



By the way Chris Duarte is 25 ... and likes quiche.
