Celtics Trivia Game (2024)

[Heinsohn Truth]

Or banks? Man those were tough days...

[gammajamma]

Was that the Payton year?

Yes it was, you're next.

Why is the floor parquet? there is a story to it.

Why is the floor parquet? there is a story to it.

Isn't it pieces of the old garden? I have a pen made out of the old parquet floor (one of my most prized possessions) with a booklet that discussed this.

[Heinsohn Truth]

Sorry, let me clarify. Why was the original floor from the garden parquet?

Oh, damn. No idea.

You win anyways because you have that pen!

The real reason is because there was a lumbar shortage after WW2 and all they had were scraps (shorter pieces of wood). When life hands you scraps, make the greatest court of all time with it!

Your turn.

When Kobe did a workout for the Celtics in 1996, what Celtics legend worked with him one on one?

Cool fact about the floor btw.

That must be why people had back problems!



Yeah, I like the parquet story. However, I have no idea why the Garden was the main place that seemed to have that issue.

I'll guess DJ, because he was young enough and because he was on the Celtics' payroll at the time.

https://twitter.com/kobebryant/status/2 ... 20/photo/1 suggests I got it right.

So I'll suggest a next question, in the form of a fill-in-the-blank:

Bob Cousy and Tommy Heinsohn were respectively the first and second ______________________________________________
Hint: The answer doesn't mention "Celtics", "Boston", "Holy Cross" or anything else team-specific.

Perhaps true, but not an answer to the question!

[Heinsohn Truth]

First and second faces on the real Mt. Rushmore of basketball.

I'm looking for an answer that even a Laker fan would agree is correct.

[Fencer reregistered]

There actually is no reason to have only one question going at once, so I'll take it upon myself to change thread rules a bit by offering a second (and I imagine easier) one.

Who sank the first 3-pt. field goal in NBA history?

[Ed Pinkney]

Wasn't it Chris Ford?

[Fencer reregistered]

Wasn't it Chris Ford?

Correct.

I'd encourage you to offer a question of your own. My Cousy/Heinsohn question still stands.

[12buckets]

My Cousy/Heinsohn question still stands.

Were they our first and second finals mvp winners?

Cooz and Tommy were the first and second presidents of the players union...perhaps?
