NBA trivia?

What does Isaiah Thomas, Shaq, Larry Bird, and Sidney Moncrief have in common as leaders on their respective teams?

They all played basketball on Christmas without complaining to the press?



Sorry, beat. That's all I got.

It's a toughy

Has to do with Playoffs

These players on their respective teams are the only teams to do this, some did it more than once. but NO other team was able to do this feat in the playoffs for a period of several years.

Top 3 each position all time


112288

No

again its really a team answer BUT these players were on those teams in the playoffs. That are the only teams to do something during one particular players career against that player's team.

Sort of the last hint I can give without spelling out the answer.

But what I said also is true.

1112288

I'll keep thinking

Ok another hint

Moncrief and Shaq's teams did it once, Bird's teams twice and Isaiah's teams 3 times, and this took place between the 1984-85 season and ran thru the 97-98 season.

Probably everyone is on the edge of his/her seat waiting for the answer. I really didn't think it was that hard but the TEAMS those 4 players played on were the only teams to beat a Michael Jordan let Bulls teams in the playoffs.

That Michael Jordan guy you mentioned, is that Marcus Jordan's dad? I know Marcus's dad played in the NBA but I didn't pay too much attention to him.
