For the who am I game, you will be given four clues to guess who each NBA player is. No looking up/researching answers. Go by your knowledge only. Make sure to read the clues very carefully. Some may be more difficult than others. I tried to make it challenging. The person with the most right guesses wins. The answer key will be post in a few days. Also if you can put your answers inside a spoiler tag so no one else sees them before they guess, that would be great! NBA: 1.) I was featured in Sports illustrated magazine.
