Hmm, I think Schrempf made one or two All-NBA teams, but I can't see him getting to a first team.
Did Manu ever make a first team? He's the only other 6th Man that comes to mind that would've deserved it. But I doubt he made one due to limited playing time.

Not who I had in mind, and I agree with your doubts.

Okay, I looked up Schrempf and Manu. Schrempf made one third team and Manu two third teams. So not them.
I can't think of anybody else.

Hint: Not only did he make All-NBA First Team; he was league MVP.

Wait, did Kobe win 6th Man of the Year? He came off the bench early in his career. I can't remember him winning one though.

Which NBA team executives played in the top pro league of another sport?
I can think of one obvious example, but perhaps there are more.
Same question for NBA head coaches.
I can think of two examples.
I can only think of Danny Ainge. No idea who the coaches are.

Yep. Already covered. We got McHale too, who was a top-5 player in the league by accolades (MVP voting rank, all-NBA) but not top-1.
Now we're looking for another guy who was top-1 in the NBA by accolades and 6MotY at different points in his career.

I just found that quote, and would have had no idea who said it. Can any of you actually guess?

Hah, same player as above - Bill and Bruce Walton
How about it...not an actual quote.
I played for two Georgias and hit a game winner for the Utah Jazz.

Note: The 6MotY award was introduced in the early 1980s. So John Havlicek never won it.

Maurice Cheeks
David Robinson
Dwight Howard

What letter has been the last initial for 4 guys picked #1 overall, yet for fewer than 100 NBA players in total?

1. Seems to me it's the letter "B".
2. I think it should be the letter "O": O'Neal, Oden, Olowokandi, Olajuwon.
