Alex Hannum, Bill Russell and Lenny Wilkens. Among many others.

Has there ever been a Central-American born player in the NBA?

Depends, do you consider Mexico or any of the islands in the Caribbean to be Central American?

MIght be a tricky question. Who was the most undeserving Season MVP(stats or playing wise) in recent history(say 20 to 25 years)? I'd personally pick Nash for his 2nd MVP award in his consecutive MVP seasons. If that is the case, who would be the next?

That's not tricky, it's just subjective. Meaning it's for its own thread, not for this one which is more for looking up historical facts people can't be assed to Google or go on B-R.com to find on their own.

Ok. Perhaps I will start a thread but later, since people are too busy paying attention to the finals.

I doubt that considering how they're going to take three weeks to complete if it goes past five games.

And how many people hate both the Celtics and Lakers.

IMO, Nash's second MVP was more deserving than his first award.

Which player scored the most points on the opening day of a new season?

Can someone give me a bit of background info as to why Rasheed Wallace only played one game as an Atlanta Hawk? Quick google search says he was traded almost immediately afterwards or something but is there any reason in particular?

The Pistons could not work out a satisfactory three-way deal involving Portland. So they worked one with Atlanta and Boston instead, since this took some time and as there was a game during this Sheed played. The Hawks had just wanted his expiring contract anyway.

Can Thunder Sign a max player?
if not,how much can they spend?

I believe they can.

Heck then,if they could get a quality guard or a good Center/Forward,they're pretty much right on top with the best teams like the Lakers.

Agreed, they're in pretty good shape heading into the offseason.

This guy wrote a book about NBA referees and NBA administration secrets. He is excommunicated by NBA after this book.

I want to ask, do Joe Crawford's grandson loves Iverson so Crawford gives advantage to Iverson?

The fuck. Did you even read the link you posted? The NBA didn't ban him because of the book you dumb brick.

I read at the newspaper.

This has always bugged me but, when a rebound is tipped to a teammate, who gets credited with it, the tipper or the receiver? Same question for steals, when you tip a pass towards a teammate, who gets the steal?

The receiver in both cases. Basically who ever gains the possession gets the stat.

Thanks. That's what I assumed all along.

I haven't paid too much attention to the news after the game, so which referee won the Finals MVP Award this season?
