The answers are at the bottom of this page, no peeking.
Question 9
This should be easy because I was a Madison Square Garden favorite. They would chant my name to be put in the game. I played for the Knicks as a point guard off the bench for three seasons before being traded. The Garden crowd made it impossible not to love my time in New York. As a Knick, I never went to the playoffs. It won’t be a big shocker if you know who I am.
Question 10
There is no way you won’t guess who I am. I was drafted with the first pick of the second round from an HBCU. While a Knicks player I won two championships alongside some of the greatest players to ever play the game. I averaged 18 points and 13 rebounds per game. I am a Hall of Famer, I was Rookie of the Year, All-Rookie, five-time All-NBA, seven-time All-Star, All-Defensive team, All-Star MVP, regular-season MVP, and two-time Finals MVP. During my first year as an NBA head coach, I took my team to the playoffs.
