Coffee Talk Name that player!
He plays in a tank top, but Monk always has a trick up his sleeve. When he capped a 47-point game vs. North Carolina on Dec. 17, 2016 with the winning 3-pointer, he surprised Kentucky coach John Calipari. "I said, 'Drive the ball Drive the ball!' And he shot a 3 and it went in," he said. "So I said, 'Great shot, kid."
Even though 6-foot-1-inch Chris Jackson had never dunked in an NBA game, he came to the NBA All-Star Weekend to try his luck among the game's greats in the 1993 NBA Slam-Dunk Championship. Apparently nervous in his first-ever trip to the competition, he concentrated on simply making his first slam, a bounce pass to himself off the floor of the Delta Center. After failing to connect on his second dunk, Jackson earned his highest grade of the event with a reverse, two-handed jam that received a 42.8.
Four teams joined the NBA in 1976 under the terms of the ABA-NBA merger, and the New York Nets had been one of the ABA's most successful. The team captured the final ABA Championship (1976) before the league disbanded. After just one season in the NBA, the Nets moved to New Jersey, where the franchise had originated as the New Jersey Americans in 1967. DID YOU KNOW? The Nets hold the NBA record for most blocked shots in a game with 22 rejections against the Nuggets on December 12, 1991. The Nets have won more NBA Rookie of the Year Awards (two, Buck Williams and Derrick Coleman) than the Lakers (one, Elgin Baylor). SCORECARD. Seven players scored in double figures January 9, 1993, as the Nets thumped the Bullets 124-79 for the largest winning margin in the Nets' NBA history.
