Answer: Mo Williams

Both Mo Williams and Cavaliers legend Anderson Varejao played with LeBron during both of his time frames in Cleveland. Varejao was there right from LeBron's rookie season in 2004, while Mo Williams was traded to the Cavs in 2008. Williams left in 2010, toured the league briefly, then returned in 2015 along with LeBron. Both men were reunited with Anderson Varejao.

Answer: Standing Tall And Talented

This was self-invented, as its origins began when Stoudemire, during his playing days, got a tattoo on his right arm with the acronym spelled out in full. It's also spelled out on Stoudemire's namesake book trilogy: "STAT: Most Valuable", "STAT: Schooled" and "STAT: Double Team".

Answer: Turk-o-loo

The "G" in his name is completely silent. His last name is not a turkey and glue being connected by an o, it is "turk-o-loo". He was drafted in 2000, went on to play for fifteen years, and retired in 2015. He is most well known for his time with the Orlando Magic, as he spent two stints in Orlando which each lasted years. Ultimately, he played for the Sacramento Kings (drafted him; played 2000-03), the San Antonio Spurs (03-04), the Magic (04-09, 10-14), the Toronto Raptors and briefly Phoenix Suns in 2009-10, and he ended his career as an LA Clipper in 2015.

Answer: 0

Arenas donned the number "0" specifically because, according to him, critics had largely asserted that he wouldn't play at all back in college, when he was at the University of Arizona. Obviously, Arenas would play more than zero minutes at Arizona, as his two collegiate seasons led to him being drafted by Golden State in the first place. Arenas was quite the high profile player, as he was renowned for carrying numerous odd superstitions during his playing years.

He also made news for an unfortunate reason in 2009 after him and a teammate brought loaded guns into a Washington Wizards locker room, resulting in both being suspended for the rest of that season along with Arenas being sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house.

Answer: Left

In 2024 when being interviewed by the pop forum Swish Cultures, Diaw claimed that he never scored a bucket in his career using his left hand, and was very adamant on it happening "not even once". If we take the rigid right hander at his word, it means that his right side was responsible for the entirety of his fourteen year NBA career, scoring more than nine thousand points across four different teams and winning a Finals championship in 2014 with the San Antonio Spurs.

Answer: Memphis Grizzlies

Marion was drafted by the Suns in 1999, where he would stay until an interesting dilemma unfolded in-between 2007 and 2010. In order, Marion would get traded from Phoenix to the Miami Heat, spend the remainder of 2007 in Miami, return to Phoenix in 2008, end up signing with Miami in 2008, just to get traded to the Toronto Raptors mid-season. From here, he would sign on with Dallas and stay there from 2009-13 before ending his career in Cleveland for 2014.

Answer: Cleveland

During a 2010 playoff series, Noah would famously state "I've never heard anybody say 'I'm going to Cleveland on vacation'" as he was aiming to take a shot at the city, stating that it was depressing and that it was "full of factories." Honestly, he's not entirely wrong, but Noah also went 2-9 against the Cavs in the postseason throughout his career, so it's possible he was just upset with getting beaten so much.

Answer: 63

It was at Boston on April 20, 1986 in 2 overtimes.

Answer: Hakeem Olajuwon

Kirilenko did this three times in his career. Two of the games, played in 2003, were a week apart, and it would be 2006 where he would do it again. Several players have had one "5x5" game, but AK47 became the second to have multiple of such games. Hakeem Olajuwon, who did it in 1987, 1990, 1992 and then three separate times in 1993, was the first one to have multiple 5x5 games.

Answer: Minnesota Timberwolves

KG was drafted by Minnesota in 1995. He would stay with the team for eleven whole seasons, before he was traded to Boston in 2007. Here, he was a strong contributor to the "Big Three" that the Celtics formed, an integral part of their 2008 championship run. However, as he was no longer the sole star of the team, his numbers predictably dipped.

KG would stay with the Celtics from 2007-2012. He was then traded to the Brooklyn Nets, where he spent a season, before then being traded again back to his old stomping grounds in Minnesota. Garnett would play for the Wolves again from 2014-2015, where he then called it a career, twenty years after the team had drafted him.
