this was a fun quiz for the Tarheel fans. I did OK. got 36 of 46. Missed a few no brainers and several of the early guys.


I got 30 and missed some hilariously dumb ones. Missed PJ Hairston for god's sake


Spoiler:
I missed Fox, Chilcutt, Marshall, Bullock and the rest were before 1980. Marshall is the one I could not remember for the life of me. I spent 3 mins looking at the empty space for him.

I have always enjoyed these quizzes on Sporcle. probably have completed one for each franchise. some are really tough due to a long history or a notable amount of loyal role players who accumulated decent totals throughout many seasons. some are more easy.

how about starting off with the Hornets on this thread?

http://www.sporcle.com/games/bwweinrib/bobcats_leaders

I got 45/50.

this one is a doable 100%-er. there are plenty of ones where it's inhuman to do that. Fats could definitely get a 50 on this one.

Too many brainfarts for me. Only got 45.

Spoiler:
Wesley, Mason, Biyombo. How did I miss those guys?

Spoiler:
It was Elden Campbell (good for 2 answers), DJ Augustin, Derrick Coleman and someone else who I already forgot for me. Should have got DJA and Elden but never would have guessed of DC. I just can't associate him with any form of long-term success, perhaps, other than a Nets quiz where I would take a stab at his name.

Spoiler:
I wracked my brains forever trying to figure out how Zo wasn't our all-time blocks leader- then found out they spelled it "Alonza".

Other than that, I somehow missed Gerald Henderson at #8 in scoring, and completely forgot DJ Augustin and Kendall Gill (x2) existed. Forgot about Anthony Mason at #4 in rebounds. Only guys I'm surprised to see are Divac and Coleman at #7 and #8 on the blocks leader board. Taking out "Alonza"

...I got 43

Here's a way tougher one- I got 22 of the 28 all time Hornets seasons with 100 threes made.

Spoiler:
I apparently successfully dumped the Ben Gordon years out of my mind, but completely forgot about Hammer :nonono: , Jumaine Jones, Hershey Hawkins, and Eddie Jones

You don't have to write the full name of the player. "Mourning" is sufficient.

28/28, perfect score.

Spoiler:
McRoberts almost got me. I had to write down the entire starting lineup for that season and had tried everyone before I remember him. Gordon was also tricky for me. I guess I tried to block him out of my memory. Toughest of the old Hornets was Hawkins. I bet some people got hung up on Jumaine Jones. I love me some Jones. He was near top of my list when I started.

Shocked by the Prince death. One of my favorite musicians.

I'll be in Uptown Sat-Mon, what should I check out?

How about something a little more difficult in regard to team leaders? Went back to see which ones I had the most trouble with.

The Clippers are fun and challenging. Got 42/50.

Did terrible on the Kings and Clippers all-time list. Those were hard. Got 29 on Clippers and only 26 on Kings. I had no chance on a lot of those guys from the Royals
