I think you've all heard of "7 degrees of Kevin Bacon", and I know we've done things like this before, but since we have a few days off between games (and I think we should try to distract us...and I want to steal thunder from HCP originally doing this kind of thread)...how about we play 7 degrees of LaRue Martin? The goal is to find the a connection between a current NBA player, and go back the furthest you can, either in NBA history (I can go from Damian Lillard to Bob Cousey! or some such nonsense) or former Blazers (I can connect Draymond Green to Rick Adleman, etc). One (annoying) caveat, you don't get to use Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett. Because if you do, you pretty much can go "tim duncan=>terry porter=blah blah" https://www.hcs.harvard.edu/pallas/ (this is only dated from 2010 tho, so it's an aid not an answer key) For example, I just tried Chris Kaman and "La Rue Martin" and there was no connection.
It actually put up 11 threads in total. honestly, not sure how it happened. I clicked "post" once, and then closed window down.
you deleted them too? I have no clue what happened. Some glitch I'm guessing. At first I thought it was like how facebook will sometimes show your post multiple times.
I had just come in the forum , see all these duplicate threads and I thought we were being trolled by someone. Then I notice they were all started by you. I clicked on three of them, saw they said the same thing so I started deleting them.
Joe Fulks (scoring leader 1947)-->Stephen Curry (scoring leader 2016) Joe Fulks-->(1954)-->Ernie Beck-->(1961)-->Lenny Wilkens-->(1975)-->Bill Walton-->(1986)-->Sam Vincent-->(1992)-->Nick Anderson-->(2002)-->Paul Gasol-->(2007)-->Rudy Gay-->(2012)-->Marreese Speights-->(2015)-->Stephen Curry Probably not the most direct route, but it works.
I remember when we did this awhile back. The key then was Marcus Camby......... he has played with EVERYBODY!
I don't know if that site works. I just put in Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan and got "no path" Am I doing this right?
