This quiz has 19 hall-of-famers/possible future hall of famers ... and Udonis Haslem. ... Including him in the quiz would be like like including Anderson Varejao.

Erving also played for the Nets when it was in the ABA, and before that the Virginia Squires. It was a cruel joke on the ABA teams that merged with the NBA that the Nets were required to give up their team leader.

Tim Duncan is my all time favorite player in the NBA. So humble and easygoing, nothing like the self-titled "King" James. I grew up watching Spurs games with my dad. We will be sad to see him go, but San Antonio cannot thank TIm Duncan enough!

The quiz doesn't say, "Name all the players who ever played who only played for one team." ... It's, here are some player, here's the hint, name them.

"But what about Bryant Reeves?" ... It's not a cumulative list, and never was meant to be intended as such.

Didn't even realise Haslem was still playing, that was a lucky guess. Also didn't guess Erving as he played for the Nets but that was under ABA sadly.

It feels so arbitrary which current players you chose. There are so many players - impactful ones at that too - you could have chosen. I just don't understand the inclination to put current players on this with that said and with the reality that any of them could still be traded.

And yet you don't actually list any.

Level 87
Sep 22, 2023
Okay, for instance:

Why have Udonis - who was never really too impactful or notable, or Klay Thompson, who is by and large pretty mediocre, when you could have players that are better and/or have shown similar longevity and thus warrant being listed just as much like:

1. Devin Booker

2. Luka Doncic

3. Jamal Murray

4. Trae Young

Had I put together this list a year ago, there would be a lot more names I could come up with which kind of just proves one of my points concerning using current players (and having Dame on here on this updated version, while true today, is kinda hilarious since it's expected that he'll be traded any minute now).

I mean...yeah, a lot of them are still on their team that drafted them, but I feel like like a 7 year "career" team is a bit dramatic. Would be better if it was only those who have retired as a one-teamer

probably deemed "too old" for casual fans to remember, and therefore left off the list

as u can see by this comment section, most dont even know that kobe didnt play for CHA and dr j didnt play for NJN in the nba, so i understand why the creator didnt use older players

An interesting corollary to this quiz might be "players who have played for the most teams" or "players who have played for multiple teams"... the quiz provides the teams and the years, and we have to come up with the player's name.
