It's a little nitpicky, and I only knew that it was a company because of their recent legal issues with Steve Ballmer and the Clippers, but Madison Square Garden is a corporation. It is more commonly referred to as the MSG company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Madison_Square_Garden_Company

They own the Forum along with Madison Square Garden.

Nice one! Madison Square Garden had me stumped. I had no idea that Manute Bol recorded a quadruple double! And Michael Jordan was a 1st pick! I didn't know that either ;)

For 'Player listed at 7'6" or taller' you should also accept Slavko Vraneš (even though he played only once in the NBA, he still counts as he is 2.29m/7'6'' tall too).

For Players with 19+ Seasons on one team, you should add Udonis Haslem...currently in his 19th season (all with the Miami Heat).

Maybe change the wording on the stadium question. I wrote crypto.com because it's a privately held company. Then ran through them trying to think which ones weren't corporations.

Most corporations are privately held. You seem to be misunderstanding how these terms are used. Madison Square Garden is the only correct answer.

Good quiz, I agree.

One nitpick, Madison Square Garden is owned by Madison Square Garden Corp, ticker symbol MSGS on the NYSE. So it is named for a corporation. Maybe you could reword the question, though it's hard to do so succinctly, maybe "NBA arena without secondary advertisement naming rights"?

I was certain that Manute Bol's son was taller than 7'3" but I was wrong.
