But if it includes cities with only one or two of the big 4 teams...

Buffalo, Montreal, Vancouver, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Portland...

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.

Post by **Sabo** » Fri Dec 09, 2022 10:51 am

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

Post by **Sabo** » Fri Dec 09, 2022 5:16 pm

The answers (in chronological order):

Soviet Union
USA
Japan
India
China
Israel
Luxembourg

The Vanuatu of Europe!

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?

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 10:42 am

Cam Thomas

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.

Giannis?

He's 3rd

Harden is my real guess, but I know that's probably not right.

Reaper · Post by **Reaper** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 12:49 pm

I'll throw out Steph.

I think I saw this article so I won't respond, but I was surprised.

We have passed the well-known 3-hour time limit, so I'm buzzing this one.

DeMar DeRozan

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 5:12 pm

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.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 6:40 pm

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.

Cheddah and Diamond can't play:

What two states share a land border but no paved roads cross it?

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:00 am

Michigan and Wisconsin

Or Minnesota and Michigan.

Florida and New York, obviously, given the disclaimer.

Pruitt IV · Post by **Pruitt IV** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:05 am

Would it be two of the "four corners" states?

Can I get a half point for that guess?

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:18 am

Missouri and Kentucky?

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:20 am

Neither of the two states have been mentioned yet

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:23 am

I just figured it out, i think. Great question.

Square Rob · Post by **Square Rob** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:23 am

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

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:41 am

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?
