rmackman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I enjoy good trivia, and I'm all for learning more when I get the chance. I realize we can't create a favorable trivia environment on a message board because there's no time limit, and anyone can go look up the answer on the internet. That being said, I think it would be fun for everyone to post their favorite sports trivia questions on here. It's always nice to go back and stump your friends offline.This one was asked at a bar I was at a week ago. I got it right. Nobody else did because they all guessed Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.Q: Who has the most career points in the NBA through his first 1,000 or less games?A: Allen Iverson...yes it's ironic that Allen Iverson was "the Answer" "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TornadoGTS Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was always amused by this one because rarely anyone ever gets its when I ask it, but....Who is the only player to play alongside Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O'Neal? Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Is on the Bulls when Jordan comes back in '95, is on the Lakers in '96 when Magic comes back and is still on the team when Shaq signs as a free agent.You could also say Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen and John Stockton via the Dream Team although I don't think that really counts.

Seems you had a lot more strange names in baseball back in the day. Personal favorite is Heinie. 22 players in MLB history that went by that name. All gone by the time Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and there hasn't been a single one since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right about Carlyle being the reason he wore 13.Now who did Teemu wear the number to honour during his rookie year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was his 3rd number worn and why did he wear it?He wore #12 and he wore it because someone swiped his jersey before the game.Easy one. It's one of my "go-to" trivia questions. IIRC it was in Orlando in 1990.Here's another (that's easily looked up, but it's another "go-to"):Who are the only 2 teams to appear in the NCAA Tournament's "Play-In Game" (2001-2010) more than once? Which of those teams also lost the first (2001) and last (2010) "Play-In Game," the only team ever to lose more than one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
