    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. I was a 1st pick in the NBA draft. I was an NBA finals MVP. After my playing career I became a sportscaster. Who am I?


    2.)I started playing basketball when I was three. I never played basketball in college, entering the NBA directly from high school. My dad also played in the NBA. I tore my Achilles but came back from it. Who am I?


    3.) I played both football and basketball in high school. I was an NBA rookie of the year. You many not remember, but besides the team I am most known for playing with, I played for the Pistons, Nuggets, and Grizzlies. I recorded a rap single, but was unable to release it. Who am I?


    4.) I was noticed in high school as a "fat guy who can play like the wind." I majored in business management while in college. I once considered running for governor. I wrote an autobiography. Who am I?


    5.) I played football and volleyball before I played basketball in high school. I helped my North Carolina to several titles. I made a famous dunk over a French center. I appeared in the tv series Moesha and the movie Like Mike. Who am I?


    6.) I was known as the "Goliath". I was a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity in college. I went into real estate after my playing career. I appeared in Conan the Destroyer along side Arnold Schwarzenegger. Who am I?


    7.) I was a point guard. I won a gold medal in the FIBA Championship. I was drafted by Washington before they got into magic. I have been in several basketball movies including Eddie with Whoopi Goldberg. Who am I?


    8.) I'm a 10 time all star. I led my college to their first ever NCAA title. I still hold all time records for the USA Olympic team. I appeared in Sons of Anarchy. Who am I?


    9.) I went to Duke. I was a rookie of the year. I was a spokesperson for McDonald's. I presented an award at the MTV music awards. Who am I?

    12.) After I was drafted, my team had to wait two years for me. I only played for one team my entire career. I won two championships with my team. Since I left the NBA, I have become a well known Philanthropist. Who am I?



    13.) I am one of seven NBA players to have won a NCAA title, NBA championship, and an Olympic Gold Medal. When I first started playing basketball at school I was not very good, and even got cut from a team. I was also a track and field star.

    Gotta say CC a lot of those clues on this were pretty freaking incredible. I'm going to post a second set of guesses from my Dad later, he's like an NBA encyclopedia. He'd be all over this. Hope I get more than he did heh.

    No. 13 is wrong. In Russell's day you couldn't be on an Olympic team and simultaneously be a professional in that sport.
