1. I am a pioneer for international basketball, achieving many firsts for a German-born player in the NBA. At 6’11 with one of the deadliest long-range games in the League. After being drafted by Dallas, my first few seasons as a Mav were all promise, but over time I turned into a multiple-time All-Star and even an All-NBAer. Who am I?

2. A senior point guard out of Wake Forest, I was drafted shortly after another highly notable point guard who, like me, has since averaged double-digits in assists over a full season. Eventually becoming the Hornets’ starting point, I soon proved to be essential to the team’s success; my speed and ball-handling skills allow me to squeak through almost any defense. I’ve also made a name for myself stealing the ball. I got myself a gold medal playing for the U.S. National Men’s Team. Who am I?

3. I was drafted by a small market in the mid-90’s, but was immediately shipped via trade to the bright lights of Los Angeles. Among other things, in my rookie season I won the Slam Dunk Contest and cracked the All-Rookie second team. I’ve done some record-breaking things in the three-point shooting department, and I’ve gotten myself some Championship rings playing alongside a certain big fella you may know. You could say basketball is in my blood; my dad was an NBA All-Star. Who am I?

4. I was a First Team All-American in high school, where I led my team to two state championships. I came into LSU as the marquee center, and the attention I garnered there got me drafted by the Orlando Magic in 1991, where I averaged double digits right away. Since then, the main knock on me has been my playing shape and free throw shooting. Who am I and then tell me, which of the following teams did I go to after leaving Orlando?

i knew he was trying to lead us to think the obvious answers of kobe, dirk, paul and shaq. But paul wasnt a senior coing out of wake, dirk isnt 6-11 and wasnt the first german, shaq wasnt in the 1991 draft, and kobes dad was never in an all-star game i dont think. I had to really think outside the box.

 1. Dirk was drafted by Milwaukee and immediately traded to Dallas for Robert Traylor.

2. Chris Paul was a sophomore when he left Wake Forest.

3. Kobe Bryant, though Joe Bryant was never an NBA All-Star while he was a great contributing player.

4. Stanley Roberts? He had the same issues as Shaq, went to LSU and had all of the same accomplishments you listed. The only thing was, he was actually drafted in 1991, while Shaq was taken in 1992. 

Before making any claims, please do some research and get the facts straight.

I guess I missed the answer section, but there were still other problems with the entire deal. Schrempf was never 6’11 or an All-NBA’er, though he was drafted by the Mavs. Brent never broke 3 point shooting records, though he was a great 3 point shooter, but Kobe actually still holds the record with 12. Also, Roberts main knock was his playing shape, even though his FT % was poor, it was always his playing shape. If he had gotten into good shape, his FT’s would not have been a problem. I know these questions may be "clever" and parrallel other current NBA players, but the facts you provided were incredibly misleading. If you leave out the 6’11/All-NBA and the three point shooting record, plus the free throw shooting, than you may have something, but otherwise, these were just kind of misnomers meant to trip people up that do not necessarily provide correct facts or all that much (correct) information.

delef was listed at 6-10 or 6-9 depending on where you look. However he did make an all nba team so that parts not misleading. I have no idea what records brent barry set. So if brent did set some sort of nba 3 point record then that means the only misleading or innacurate thing was detlef’s height on this whole list.

barry led the league in 3 point % in 2000 and that is considered a type of record.

schrempf is listed as 6-11 in a 1989 pacers game preview
