Celtics Trivia Game (2024)
So, I had an idea playing this new trivia game on my phone with my friends from work, made me think, wouldn't it be cool to have a trivia stump-'em type thread on the forum?
So here it goes.
Rule: Try to answer the question and then if you get it correct you have to propose a new question!
Here's mine:
What Celtics player led the NBA in free-throw percentage in 1968-1969?
So here it goes.

New question: Who had the highest 2-pt FG% on the 1985-6 Celtics?
Hint: It wasn't Bird, McHale, or Parish.

I looked this one up to confirm but I didn't really cheat since the player that I thought was 2nd was actually first unless I am mistaken. I originally thought it was McHale than Sichting but with your hint I realized it had to be Jerry Sichting.

Congrats!
I wasn't sure when I went to look it up whether he'd actually be #1 either. I phrased it the way I did because in overall FG% McHale was .004% ahead of him.

Thanks. I'm not so good with making up trivia questions but here goes with the help of the web so no one look this one up since it is obviously easy to do so.
Many people know Charles Cooper was the first African American drafted into the NBA by the Celtics but my trivia question is what college/university was he at before being drafted?
Hint: his university before joining the Celtics hasn't been very good for a long time but was excellent in the 1950's.

Ok to give people a hint to make it easier...The university nowadays is either in the A10 or Big East so that narrows things down by over 90%..... The other hint is it it a Catholic university but it is not a school like Notre Dame that most people know is a Catholic school.

The only catholic school that I can think of beside BC that fits the criteria is Duquesne University (and I only know that its a Catholic school because my uncles went there.)
