i got an 18
"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why... I succeed." Michael Jordan.

I knew it
But I’ve done a lot of draft research so I should have. I’m disappointed at the 3 I did miss. I should have known better.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Son of a bitch I knew that last answer but I didn’t trust my instincts. Actually, most of the questions I missed had me slapping my forehead when I scrolled through the answer sheet.
14
Although, question #14 is inaccurate
As of 2009, who was the last #1 overall selection to play in the NCAA championship game a few months before his selection?
Technically, it’s no longer Derrick Rose

Griffin didn't play in the championship game...

Oh wait I get it now
Since that was vacated.

Seems like that’s pretty much our average.

Wow, Pookey - you're the man!
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
18. Not too bad, but there were a few of them that had me kicking myself after.

At 56 I can’t use the age excuse. But then I didn’t really start paying attention to basketball until I discovered StR.
i got 16, but some of these questions date back to when i wasn't even around

all these people that say they were young..
i think we should get a big poll on the front page for how old everyone is here

So? Knowledge is what you pay attention to and focus on it. Ain't got shit to do with age.

Double it for me
Twice Pookey’ s age and half the IQ. I’m pissed.
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
But you're ElRon. So that's a start.

Thanks for the mono-syllabic verbage
it helps.

Pretty fancy way of saying one syllable words.

I'd feel fancier
if I had remembered the I in verbiage. But there is no “I” in screw up.

I wouldn't have known you messed up, until you pointed it out.
Dictionary.com defines "verbage" as
"A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word ‘garbage’…More pejorative than ‘verbiage’"
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?
Yeah but you're old.
So you should get 22.

Yeah but your forgot one imporant thing
I’m a dumbass.
The only two I had zero clue on was the “most first round picks ever” question and how they did the draft before the lottery (I guess the coinflip one only because it sounded ridiculous). No clue what other one I got wrong.
Could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?
I had to think about that one with my head.
I knew David Thompson, Brad Daugherty, Joe Smith, and now that I think about it James Worthy, were all 1st round picks. Oh, and Tim Duncan too.
I couldn’t think of any Big East 1st overall picks other than Derrick Coleman, Patrick Ewing, and Allen Iverson.

Maybe we should adjust our stats per 36 years of age?

I am humbled. Thanks.
Now get rid of it before the other kids start making fun of you.

seems to me that people like quizzes
a competitive way to showcase knowledge

I will be performing seppuku soon.
I don't see what's wrong with giving Bobby a little experience before he starts to practise law.
25
but I guessed on a couple – the Minnesota holding the draft was my luckiest answer. That and the choice between the Admiral and Brad Daugherty. I picked the NASCAR guy as I think Robinson was drafted #1 but sat out two years being a midshipman.
Fun stuff. I tanked worse on the NBA jerseys one I posted from Sporcle.
Well done on the first to post an ace'd score.
Even if it was luck.

testing well is often narrowing down answers and then flipping a coin with either good or bad luck
this time good, next time, who knows?
