bacon sports triviaDue to popular demand I am bringing back my Friday really hard sports trivia segment. I’m disappointed by the lack of actually decent or hard sports trivia that is out there so I guess I’ll try and carry that torch for you guys. With the NFL in full swing and the NBA just under way those two sports are the main focus of what I’m working with. Like before I’ll give you the questions first and then the answers will be at the bottom.

  4. I was drafted second overall in the 1990 NBA draft (behind Derrick Coleman).

  8. I went to Oregon State and played point guard.
