Midrangehoops.com Basketball Trivia – Volume 3

Let’s try this again with Volume 3 – perhaps the easiest of the bunch so far, especially if you’re a true fan of the Golden State Warriors.

For this set of questions, the second half of the quiz is designed to test one’s knowledge of the Golden State Warriors who have been the league’s dominant franchise for the past three seasons, but have a rich history that goes back over 70 years, including some powerhouse teams in Philadelphia.

Lets see whatcha got!

When driving for a layup, how many steps are allowed after the last dribble?

Correct! Wrong!

This rule is enforced like jaywalking in New York City.

Per NBA rules implemented in 2017-18, how many timeouts are allowed per team in the final three minutes of a game?

Correct! Wrong!

The intended purpose of this rule was to shorten the end of close games, but there's still replay to cancel out the effect.

Who led the NBA in Total Rebounds for the 2016-17 season?

Correct! Wrong!

Andre Drummond led the NBA with 1,115 rebounds in 2016-17. DeAndre Jordan was a close second with 1,114.

Name the last city to lose an NBA franchise.

The Brooklyn Nets played their home games in Newark, NJ for two years before moving to Brooklyn, NY in 2012.

Correct! Wrong!

The Golden State Warriors won the 1975 NBA title, defeating the Washington Bullets in a 4-0 sweep.

Which former Warrior HAS NOT had his jersey number retired by the franchise?

Klay Thompson connected on 41.4% of his three-point attempts, edging out Stephen Curry (41.1%).
