Your NBA confessions, what don't you know? - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

The Big Dipper · 01-28-2013, 02:20 PM

I know we all act like we know everything about basketball.

And we all put this front on of how knowledgeable we are meanwhile we are googling who the **** George Mikan or Bob Pettit are, not I but no need to be ashamed if you have to.

Tell us what you know nothing of, or wish you did.

Hell even an embarrassing question you don't know how to ask, or will feel foolish asking, go ahead.

Mine: Why don't NBA teams make a deal with college prospects that they should skip the draft and they will sign them as free agents after the fact? Why a player would do this? Maybe he doesn't want to wind up on the Bobcats for 2 years maybe more, or maybe he can get far more money this way.

Is that against draft rules?

For the longest time, I thought Jerry Lucas was black.

I thought Jerome Richardson's real name was Pooh.

I was a celtics fan as a kid

When I was a kid, I used to pronounce his name Kobe Bryan without the T. I thought this player with an afro was pretty cool.

For a LONG time I didn't know Jordan had wore a temporary replacement no-name jersey #12 when his #23 got stolen from the locker room right before game time, back in the early 90's. I thought that was pretty crazy/cool.

I have no idea if, once you claim a player off amnesty waivers, that player can subsequently be traded or if you're stuck with him permanently. Anyone able to enlighten me?

Cant be traded for one year.

If the ball gets stuck in between the rim and the glass and somebody touches it, is that goaltending?

I have no idea what a team's cap figure is for free agents with Bird rights. I'm talking about the amount of salary that goes against the cap between the end of the season and when the player signs their new contract.

I still have no ****ing idea what changes the previous lockout made, before I joined this site I had no idea what assist turnover ratio meant, and I don't know why, but before Kyrie Irving joined the Cavs, I thought he was Julius Erving's son.
