Salt Lake (Mailfraud Malone, 1999) and Baltimore (Cal Ripken, 1991)
SLC is right. Lamar Jackson for Baltimore

This century Montreal had Jose Theodore and Carey Price, Vancouver had one of the Sedin twins, and Cincy had Joey Votto.
New Orléans never had an MVP.
I totally forgot Lamar. The other answer is Buffalo (Thurman Thomas, Dominik Hasek, and Bob McAdoo.)

His prime was way before my time, but looking through his bbref and Wikipedia, Bob McAdoo was really good.

Seven countries have placed man-made materials on the Moon’s surface. Name the countries.
Note: While the European Space Agency has a probe on the Moon, it’s a conglomeration of countries and is not an answer for this question.

I feel like I have seen some variation on this question and there's some country that is very shocking. Like Vanuatu or some shit.

All five answers are correct. AB’s Vanuatu reference is not.

From a recent Ringer article so don't cheat if you already read it...
Per some application of a Bill James model, Kevin Durant has a 95% chance of breaking 30,000 points for his career. What active player is second on the probability list?

I would assume it's someone ball-dominant and shoots from everywhere, and gets to the line a lot, so I'll say Ben Simmons.

Just looked at his BR page. His career stats, aside from his age, look like they came from three decades previous. Minimal threes, lots of FTs.
If he plays three more seasons, there's going to be a point where people debate is he's worthy of the Hall of Fame due to his point total. The answer is clearly "no", but he will get talked about in those terms.

He's next to Curry on the all-time list. This is the Omar Vizquel of the NBA.

Beloved in Toronto, but there's probably not a single Raptors fan who wouldn't have traded away the face of the franchise for one year of Kawhi. Even before the title run.

Wyo and Idaho? This should be wrong, because I’ve been on a paved road across that border, but there’s no major road.

I still like my basic theory that it is two states that you think are bordered by only a river but aren't for some dumb reason. Georgia and South Carolina?
