if anyone needs links to the players eligible for any of the categories, let me know.

btw, if any lurkers still want to join, you can pick 10th.

One quick note, for the categories based on a specific game, you get the season the game occurred, not the full year. For example: Stop Shooting category, Dominique Wilkins qualifies with a game that occurred in March 1984. That means you get Wilkins from the 1983-84 season, since March 84 was part of the 83-84 season. He cannot be moved to the 1984-85 season, which is his case was a much better year.

I think everything should be pretty easy to find except for championship bench which might require some work.

Tall white stiff could require a little work. Don't think bball reference lets you filter out black guys

Question regarding the "Rookie" category. If I select Shaq, I'm going to get the 1992-93 Shaq and not the prime Shaq, right?

Yeah, and that would be a really good pick. Block people from getting prime Shaq but you also get incredible rookie Shaq.

Yeah, Flip is correct.

I don't think I've ever been more excited to fail at something in my life.

Who could forget the great Roy McPipe? Born in Hammond, Indiana, on May 5, 1950. He played 5 games for the Utah Stars of the ABA in 1974, posting an incredible offensive rating of 65.

Mario Chalmers was born in Alaska huh? I thought Trajan Langdon was too, did he never play at all in the NBA?

No mention if his brother Rod? Rod McPipe? If I ever change my career to something more exotic, that will be my alias.

Looking at the Cups of Coffee, Michael McDonald played 1 game in his career, for the 97' Hornets, played 4 minutes, and had 2 turnovers. Yikes.

In that game, he played with B.J. Armstrong, who he was traded for on draft night 2 years prior.
