Hard sports trivia quiz 12

The past few weeks I’ve been going easy on you with the Hard Sports Trivia Questions. This week I’m sparing no one as I ratchet the difficulty up a few levels and as Goose would say, “We’re going ballistic Mav”. I would rank this week’s sports trivia questions an 8.5 out of 10 for difficulty. As usual, if you have any sports trivia questions that you think are good send them my way (rob@baconsports.com) and I’ll include them in a future edition. Now get after these questions like Pacman Jones gets after some pootie at the club.

1. I am the only NBA player to ever be drafted from the University of Hartford.

3. I was the third overall pick in the 1997 NBA draft. I have played for seven different teams. I was the 2003-04 NBA Finals MVP. My nickname is “Mr. Big Shot”.
4. I am still playing in the NBA and have made over $156 million in my career. I played one game for the Atlanta Hawks. I am a four time All Star and have one NBA championship. I was drafted one spot ahead of Kevin Garnett in the 1995 NBA draft.
5. I coached college basketball at Marquette, St. Louis, Utah, and Ball State.

3. Tyson Chandler in the NBA.
4. Brett Favre in the NFL.
