He's got 6 all up, including back to back for New Jersey. I remember that it made the news here

The one on the far right is the winner of a wonderful group.

It's also hilarious that he has like 8 human beings in between his arms.

5 3PM and 5 steals in a single game.


Guesses for guys who did it in the 90s - Doug Christie, Dana Barros, Michael Adams, Reggie Miller and Gary Payton.

I remember the highlights being pretty awesome, one block was on a dunk and he just grabs it in 2 hands, pulls it away.

I never knew Tree Rollins had a season where averaged over 4 blocks a game. Must have been quite a year!

Well, since Dunleavy is unqualified for White Stiff category. I change my pick to Vladimir Radmanovic 2007-08
I'm too lazy to write his stats. All I wanna say is he was a very good floor stretcher and snowboarder.

For one that international category sounds awesome.

Change the state from Indiana to either New York, North Carolina, or both Carolinas

Mr. Perfect. Anybody who attempted 5+ FGs and 5+ FTs and made all of them in a game.

Two way players. Guys who made both All NBA and All Defensice Team. (Might cancel out all NBA category too much)

The giant category sounds great too that Diop mentioned. So what about the opposite? The miniature men. Any guy under 5'10" or so.

The unorthodox triple double. Any player who.jad a triple double in a game that included steals or blocks. (Id have to check how many guys for this one).


I think we have already done both New York and NC. And we've done the miniature men category before as well.

I like the others. They have good potential. I was also thinking about making the next one decade specific, perhaps either the 90s or 00s. If we did one more specific it would be a good idea to exclude Jordan, Lebron and maybe a couple other guys (Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem, Duncan) to level the playing field.

Just post it Fats. Nobody will snipe his pick, since he's the only one who own the All NBA category.

Movie Star: Any NBA player that has been in a movie or TV show. (might be difficult to research/not NBA related)
Snub: Any NBA player that averaged 25+ppg for a season and didn't make the All-Star team in that season while playing at least 50 games
Dinosaur: Any player that played from 1947-1959 and averaged 15pts/10rbs (about 15 qualified players)

I do like the idea of narrowing the years. Though categories can get tougher to find.

It just allows you to judge players in the same era better. It's hard to compare a 1978 SG who didn't have a three point line to shoot from with a guy in 2013 Who did.
