I think one of the biggest jokes of the Cup was that whole catamaran affair
And another big one was when he took the Kiwis to court for having a fibreglass hull while he still had the old aluminium one

Damn, Conner was the man we all loved to hate, too... those were the days

Maybe it all started to go downhill with that whole winged keel thing that the aussies used in '83. That was really the birth of the technological revolution in the Cup, and ever since the money required has grown exponentially.

Anyway, we should stop. People will put us on their ignore lists for this. :lol:

Well, Wilt Chamberlain was mentioned earlier... so that's one?

1. Wilt Chamberlain
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
3. Michael Jordan?
4. can't think of a fourth one lol... wait, Magic Johnson?

by **djt5483** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:04 am

i knew u guys would get the 3 obvious ones. the 4th is not shaq

by **Incandenza** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:07 am

so wilt, MJ, and kobe are right, I would assume....

hmmmmm, who could that fourth be? how about vince carter?

by **djt5483** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:09 am

not vc. but he is my favorite player. hes had a bunch of 50 pt games but i dont think he ever had 60

by **djt5483** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:09 am

not magic either

by **Incandenza** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:13 am

I'll guess pistol pete, but that's be my last guess for the evening... got several DVDs worth of 24 that are calling my name...

by **djt5483** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:14 am

not pistol pete. heres a clue- im pretty sure he played for the lakers

by **Numia Kereru** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:15 am

Did Kareem count as one?

I honestly can't think of another player. My excuse is I'm a kiwi and our national sport is rugby, not bball lol :oops:

by **Incandenza** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:15 am

this might be way off, but I suppose I'll take a flier and go with george mikan... but I'm 99% sure that's not right

by **djt5483** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:19 am

nope not kareem or mikan

by **Chingow** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:20 am

ill say elgin baylor

by **Chingow** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:21 am

the last QB besides favre to start a game for the packers

by **Numia Kereru** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:22 am

Dammit. I give up for now lol.
I'm going to check out the tournaments and maybe I'll have a brainwave to come back with the right name

by **djt5483** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:23 am

elgin baylor is correct

djt just like you i knew your answer immediately (Oscar Robertson claims that Elgin Baylor was the best basketball player who ever lived), unfortunately Chingow beat me to it! great job to both of you

I'll gues Don "The Magic Man" Majkowski on the current question, but I have a feeling that's not right...

by **Chingow** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 11:40 am

yeah don majkowski is right

Guess I'm up again then...
What was the last year the US sent an all amateur basketball team to the Olympics, and what was the result? Bonus points if you can name any of the members of that team (there were several guys who went on to stellar pro carreers)
