very simple but try not using google for spelling

[SouBeachTalents]

Got 49/50, only one I missed was Gervin

[KiiiiNG]

Got 49/50, only one I missed was Gervin
so you got all the white boys from the 60's, but missed gervin.... right... :rolleyes:

[RightTwoCensor]

41/50 :(


Did not know the face of the dude before Drexler

He's always the guy I forget about when people talk about pre-Magic/Bird era

[SouBeachTalents]

so you got all the white boys from the 60's but forgot gervin.... right... :rolleyes:

Lol, those were just process of elimination, there's only so many white players you can guess. But when it comes to black and white picture of a black player you're not sure of, then it becomes much more difficult to guess

[RightTwoCensor]

I didn't even know you could skip

[warriorfan]

47/50

Missed Russell, Hondo, and Jerry West


Russell picture was when he was really young, that threw me off. Don't really know Hondo too well and that was a funny picture of West.

Fucc those old, white, scrub 50's janitors.

gervin is a very recognizable face to knowledgeable fans. no different than seeing AI or Kobe...

but then again, i don't blame you for not being as knowledgeable as i am. i've pretty much lived the nba for the past 34 years. (father took me to a knicks game at msg when i was 11 and ive been hooked ever since - even saw potato head in person:D )

[Young X]

50/50. Robertson was the hardest, he normally had the afro in the pics I've seen of him.

EAT SHIT GOBB

[Duggrr]

50/50. Not proud of this.

[KiiiiNG]

50/50. Not proud of this.
right?

might as well ask me what 2 + 2 is. this is my LIFE man. basketball, everyday, all day. always. i wake up to ball and sleep posting on a bball message board. i mean, are you kidding me? :oldlol: get this weak shit out of here.

[Poetry]

I got them all too. The hardest thing about it is knowing how to spell Hondo's last name.

[KG215]

48/50

Missed Russell and West. That Russell picture just really threw me off because it doesn't really look like the Bill Russell from the vast majority of the pictures I've seen of him. Missed West because I just missed it. Don't know why.

[1987_Lakers]

Got 49/50 with 6 minutes left.

I actually got 50/50, just didn't know how to spell Mutombo's first name.

[Young X]

Here's another one...

Yeah I missed both of those guys too and I'm pretty familiar with them both. Their pictures were kinda weird.

[1987_Lakers]

Just realized that.

[1987_Lakers]

Yeah I missed both of those guys too and I'm pretty familiar with them both. Their pictures were kinda weird.

Not really. The only photos that threw me kind of off was Barkley, he looks really weird there. Also it took me a view seconds to get the Bob Pettit one.

[Mr. Jabbar]

whats up with the jerry west pic? looks like something from a bruce lee movie...anyway, 50/50 :pimp: in 5 min 34 secs

[Bobby13]

I got 48/50 and missed Bob Pettit and Dominique Wilkins. I sort of recognised the picture of Dominique, but he looked really old. Pettit I had no idea.

[Bosnian Sajo]

49/50

I would of gotten 50/50 if I spelled Pettit correctly, I thought it was spelled Petit so I just gave up. Had 7 minutes left on the clock, was pretty easy. Most challenging were Pettit, Russell, and Havlicek(completely guessed on him :oldlol:).

[Hulk]

:facepalm I can't spell.

[jstern]

I got 47/50. For the life of me I could not remember Chris Webber's name, even though I'm so familiar with him. Eventually it came to me. And I almost didn't get Chris Paul, because I was expecting it to be an older player, since that was the current pattern.

And I could not remember Oscar Robertson's name.

[Myth]

Got them all in about 3 minutes. This was probably one of the easiest sporcle quizzes I have done.

[CavaliersFTW]

I didn't know you only had to type in their last name until 3/4 of the way through so my time is probably twice as long as it should be.

*EDIT* Just saw my time is 2 minutes 20 seconds. I was going to say the 7 minutes 40 seemed way longer than I thought, that's just what was left on the 10 minute limit :oldlol:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

49... For some reason I can only recognize Hondo with his earlier haircut. Or later? When it wasn't curly. And I thought it was weird how some names you could type only the first while others needed the entire name. I get for common names, but like, how many Shaquille's are there? Also Lew Alcindor worked, too.

And apparently I've been misspelling Mutombo my entire life. I hate myself.

[Bernie Nips]

47/50

Missed Gervin, Barry and Pettit.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

50/50

next...

You spelled out their full names and completed it in 2 minutes? Impressive.

[Solidape]

47/50

Missed Russell, Havlicek and Petit

[jstern]

It's actually an interesting test, since the average score is 70%. I say that anyone who doesn't get at least 45 players correct, then their opinion when it comes to basketball should be meaningless. And if you failed with the players from the 60, then your opinion about the era should also be worthless. Because how can you comment on something you don't know about.

I assume that the majority of people on ISH would get over 40, because these are sort of everyday players here. But I bet the "big basketball fans" that comment on YouTube would be getting most of them wrong.

[Dr Hawk]

Missed Robertson, I didn't recognize him, Havlicek and Pettit

[CavaliersFTW]

Missed Robertson, I didn't recognize him, Havlicek and Pettit

I'm not a Hawks fan though. Hawk is the nick I usually use on the Internet but it was already taken, so I had to add something :cheers:

[inclinerator]
