Yes, this is a contest; for fun, I don't really have a reward for the winner, unless if you'd like to carry that over to my association thread. Lack of participation could end up making this a fail, but at least the effort to close this out in a good way was there. There's rules to this contest, listed below:

Rules:
1. You can only answer three questions per post (may increase to five, depending on participation), no double-posting. Also, questions that ask things like Season 1 and Season 2, those are two separate questions. Basically, all the different point values are questions of their own. (best way I can word that)
2. Each question will only be answered once; once it's answered, it will be highlighted in red with the person's name who answered it correctly. When you have a go at some questions, check back every few hours to see whether you answered your questions correct.
3. Every question has a point value, with the easiest being low, difficult ones being high.
4. When you answer a question, you accumulate points.
5. Once all questions have been answered, the one with the most points wins.
6. Try not to look back to the other pages, to see what you remember. There are some questions where it'd be impossible to not look back; it's perfectly fine if you do so. If all the remaining questions left are ones you don't know, feel free to look back some pages, as there's no other way you'll be able to come up with answers.
7. Have fun! Participation is not mandatory; this is just to see how much you guys remember/how well you read this thread. But still, who wouldn't want to participate in something like this?

If the winner is a reader of my association thread and listed as an NLSC Draftee, then they get 25 extra points for their NLSC Draftee, and also, bragging rights. Good luck to all, may the best reader win!

And yet, nobody said their top 10. Oh well, just disregard it.

Lol, Channing Frye must be there.

[Andrew]

Just a curious question though, Andrew, how come I don't see you in the 2K association section?

I guess it's mostly because I'm still an NBA Live fan at heart. If I can get into an Association myself once the official patch for the PC version of NBA 2K11 comes out, I'll probably become more involved in that section too.

[Axel The Great]

Thierry •, the surprise MVP Candidate!

Andrew, an association from you would be nice. I'm sure you'd have a lot of readers if you decide to start one.
