Tiny Archibald?

Who was last person to average >25ppg & 10-asg? Not Tiny. I don't think anyone would ever guess it unless they looked it up. (I wouldn't have either.)

@bksballer89 also got four.

Here are your answers:

1) Charlotte Hornets, led by Alonzo Mourning. They could muster only one home win in the best-of-five against MJ & company. Mourning would be traded the following offseason to Miami for Glen Rice.

2) Portland Trail Blazers, led by Rasheed Wallace.

3) Taj Gibson. This was one of those under-publicized trades that worked out for both teams.

4) Philadelphia 76ers. Philly would land Dr. J as a result of the ABA-NBA merger that following offseason, but their 1976 team still featured such talent as Doug Collins and George McGinnis.

5) d) Dave Cowens

6) b) Moses Malone

7) c) Stacey King, traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1994. He's now a commentator for the Bulls.

8) Milwaukee Bucks

9) Michael Jordan, the lone MVP he would win during the 80's decade.

10) Two, 2011 Grizzlies over San Antonio and 2012 76ers over Bulls.

Wow I totally forgot about the 76ers and Bulls

 

[ChrisGar15]

Tiny Archibald?

Nope. I'd never have guessed it. The guy who did it was also under 6'. It is interesting because the guy never averaged more than 19 points or 8 assists/game ... any other year.
