[Ans] Which basketball player appears as the silhouette on the NBA logo?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which basketball player appears as the silhouette on the NBA logo?"



The silhouette on the NBA logo—a player dribbling and swiveling between a red and blue background—is Lakers legend Jerry West. The NBA logo was designed in 1969 by Alan Siegel. Before designing the logo, Siegel scoured through old editions of Sport magazine in search of inspiration. He eventually found a photo of basketball superstar Jerry West. In a single frame, this photo seemed to capture the fluid, fast-paced nature of the game. Using this photo, Siegel created a solid white silhouette of Jerry West and placed it against a red and blue background, forming the logo we still see today.

[Answer] What National Basketball Association star holds the record for most points scored in a playoff game?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What National Basketball Association star holds the record for most points scored in a playoff game?"



...Chicago Bulls shooting guard Michael Jordan tallied 63 points April 20, 1986 against the Boston Celtics in the second game of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, breaking the previous single-game playoff scoring record of 61, set by Los Angeles Lakers legend Elgin Baylor. Jordan, who had yet to achieve GOAT status, attempted 41 field goals, making 22. He also shot 19 of 21 from the free-throw line. Sadly, this historic scoring outburst was all for naught, as Larry Bird and the Celtics went on to claim victory in double-overtime. Boston bounced the Bulls in the best-of-five series and went on to win the title. Of course, Jordan didn't stay down for long, finishing his career with 119 post-season victories and six championships. Source: Basketball Reference.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What basketball player claimed to have had sex with 20,000 women?"



In his 1991 biography, A View From Above, Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have slept with 20,000 different women during his life. "At my age," he wrote, "that equals out to having sex with 1.2 women a day, every day since I was fifteen years old." Chamberlain's claims ignited a wave of public criticism (and skepticism), to which he responded, "I was just doing what was natural—chasing good-looking ladies, whoever they were and wherever they were." Chamberlains greatest accomplishment on the court took place on March 2, 1962, when he personally scored 100 points against the New York Knicks.

[Ans] The NCAA once banned what basketball move?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The NCAA once banned what basketball move?"

Latest champion: North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball Trending Number of teams: 68 (2011–)



Step 2 : Answer to the question "The NCAA once banned what basketball move?"



Dunks:


For more than a decade, the NCAA prohibited players from performing dunks. The league's rules committee officially launched the ban during the 1967-1968 season and kept the prohibition until 1977. Why did the NCAA outlaw the dunk? Over the course of the 1965-1966 season, league medical personnel recorded 1,500 incidents in which players were injured after colliding with the backboard. The committee believed the ban would prevent such incidents. However, many college basketball fans speculate that the NCAA instituted the prohibition due to then-UCLA star and eventual NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who enjoyed posterizing opponents.
