What’s up internet you are now rocking with your boy @jackhaveitall. (I hope you guys have had a chance to check out CVS Bangers 3, which just dropped last week.) Haha let’s go!
Okay, so let’s start out with an easy one. Can you name every All-NBA Team member from 2000-2010? Beforehand I thought this one would be a little tricky, but they gave you the team so it turned out to be pretty simple. I cashed out with 150/150 in just a couple minutes. Shoutout Michael Redd for sneaking on the third team back in 03-04?

Now we’ll move on to one that’s a quite a bit more difficult: trying to name every member of the All-Defensive Team since back in 1968-69. I actually didn’t do too poorly on this one, checking in with 186/237, but there were a bunch of guys on these teams that I’ve never even heard of before (hi, E.C. Coleman). Also those late 90s teams were absurd: Michael Jordan, Gary Payton, Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, and Dikembe Mutombo would have given up like 70 points a game.

All right you swaggerless cretins, to close things out, do you think you can name the leaders in 30+ point games for each team since 2000? I took home a respectable result, garnering 123/150. Impressive work by Caron Butler getting on the list for three different teams. Also, when did he play for the Lakers? Is that a real thing that happened?

Well that’s it for this week folks. If you didn’t take these quizzes while listening to CVS Bangers then I hate you. Check back next time for MORE FIRE.
