NBA Trivia...

[Heim]

This kid from Gonzaga has a chance to be the first white American to be drafted number #1 overall in a long, long time.

Who was the last American white drafted #1?

Blake Griffin don't count, he's half.

Walton

Either Bogut or Bargnani, can't remember which one was first?

Not American.

 

[Heim]

Either Bogut or Bargnani, can't remember which one was first?

Bogut is a Aussie, the other Italian.

 

[choslamshe]

Ah, missed American. Hmmm

 

[Heim]

Walton

Not far off...

 

[Ray Luca]

Doug Collins

 

[John Kelly]

Why doesn't the NBA, like MLB does with its Players Alliance to help grow African-American participation in baseball, start some sort of initiative to bring more white Americans into the game?

Never mind.

 

[John Kelly]

Doug Collins

Feels like the winner.

 

[John Kelly]

Doug Collins went to Illinois State.

He's 70 now.

 

[kane]

Kent Benson

 

[Heim]

It's not Collins but right decade....

A little shocking if you think about it.

 

[Heim]

Kent Benson

Yep, 1977

 

[John Kelly]

Kent Benson

Hold the phone.

I think we have a winner.

 

[Ray Luca]

Ah yeah ..played for Knight
Good question

 

[Heim]

Great team. Benson, Abernathy, Buckner, May and Wilkerson. Undefeated.

IMO....Knight's best.

 

[FairWarning]

And Larry Bird would have been a junior if he didn’t leave in his freshman year.

 

[boston massacre]

Great team. Benson, Abernathy, Buckner, May and Wilkerson. Undefeated.

IMO....Knight's best.

All 5 of Them Were Drafted.

 

[John Kelly]

If memory serves, Bobby Wilkerson jumped center because Kent Benson could not get off the ground.
