Looking back, I don't know why I didn't get Otis, Lionel and O.P.

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.....

Causy, the Dw Dwayne, Alaa, Ralph, the guy from Xavier (his absence was a big surprise), Nasty, Nervous, Yogi, Kelley and Olberding (I like saying Olberding, it sounds like something that might need repair on your glockenspeil) before lucking into the Animal . 24/25 Still can’t imagine any team with the disinterested Billy as it’s top board horder.

I was shocked

Grant, Smith and Bonner weren’t right. I got 24 of 25 missed McCray.

Lol, well Smith was, but thought he would be more.

I facepalmed over Thorpe

And can’t believe I forgot the Animal.

Simmons’ three season on top surprised me.

18/25

Blanked on Ron Ron. Forgot Simmons and Thorpe. Never would have guessed McCray.

When discussing two opposing point of views, the truth often lies somewhere in the middle.

These quizzes make me feel like a horrible Kings fan.

Aykis’ communist, cantankerous challenges confuse me contentiously and cause me cancerous consternation.

I can't believe I got 18/25.

I’m a Webber-era Kings fan. Again big props to common last names.

Got everyone from recent up to O.P. Then complete blank.

(p/s: I unchecked the show missed answer, I want to play it again, try and get those missing seven).

This.

Riodney was a wonderful jack of all trades player

I can copy and paste with the best of them so here are some FYI’s about Rodney McCray as a Sacramento King
From Wikipedia:
Rodney McCray attended the University of Louisville and was a key member of the Cardinals team that won the 1980 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship. His college teammates included Darrell Griffith, Derek Smith, and Scooter McCray, his brother. He was drafted by the NBA’s Houston Rockets with the third pick of the 1983 NBA Draft and played four seasons with them, earning NBA All-Defensive Team honors in 1987 and 1988. He also played for the Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, and Chicago Bulls, and he won an NBA Championship ring with the Bulls in 1993

What Wiki doesn’t say is:
In October 1988 the Kings acquired McCray and Jim Peterson by trading away Otis Thorpe who was a 20/10 man for a season and close to that many others.
After a two season stint the Kings traded away the U of Lou product to Dallas for the charming Canuck Bill Wennington, 1990 first round pick (#14-Travis Mays), 1990 first round pick (#18-Duane Causwell) to try and clean slate the team and have 4 first round picks (Lionel Simmons at #7 and #23 Anthony Bonner). The Bonner portion of the deal was particularly unique as the Kings traded away the 1989 overall #1 Pick, Pervis Ellison after just one trying rookie season.

Ah, the tangled web they wove.

Don’t ask for the answer and I get all the answers!

Wow

I think my mind has tried to forget the bumbling incompetence that was our front office in the pre-Petrie days.

Amazing how many times Thorpe was part of a big trade

Part of the deal that sent Drexler to Houston, the pick that became Darko Milicic, the Webber trade, and the trade that brought Eddie Jones to Miami and Jamal Mashburn to Charlotte.
