Magic Trivia Question

Postby drsd on Thu Dec 27, 2012 11:07 pm

Dear Magic fans:

What do these former/current Magicians share in their NBA resume?. An answer can be quite specific to be accurate.



Tracy McGrady, Al Harrington, Rashard Lewis, DeShawn Stevenson, Ousmane Cisse, and Dwight Howard. One could argue that Shawn Kemp could be on this list, which could be debated.


Good luck fellow Magic fans.

THIS.
Three rules in caring for the Mogwai: never expose it to bright light (especially sunlight, which will kill it); never get it wet (which will make it multiply); and most importantly: never feed it after midnight.

I tried. I feel like Ousmane Cisse is the key to answering this question, but I'm having trouble finding any real info on him.

I know it's wrong, but I'm going to go ahead and say it...They all went to a Catholic HS?

This. Except to include Kemp, we would have to say that these players have never played a collegiate game for any university.

Wikipedia wrote:During his senior year, Kemp signed a national letter-of-intent to play basketball at the University of Kentucky. However, he left the team in November 1988 after he was accused of pawning two gold chains that had been reported stolen from his teammate Sean Sutton, the son of then Kentucky head coach Eddie Sutton. Sean Sutton did not press charges, but Kemp transferred to Trinity Valley Community College in Texas.[1] After a semester at TVCC, where he did not play, 19-year-old Shawn Kemp declared himself eligible for the 1989 NBA Draft.

True, but I suppose drsd means any former/current Magician, as in on the roster for any period of time.

Lakers stole Shaq, so Magic gave them Dwight!

In addition to all being black (no racist), they've each been in both the western and eastern conferences. I really don't know what other specifics you're angling for here.

All were named to McDonalds All-American teams.

Edit: Kemp wasn't. Interesting. All except Kemp, then. http://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress. ... o-success/
