Quick quiz: name the 45 NBA players that, prior to tonight, had more field goals than Kendrick Nunn. No cheating by looking at any sort of lists of players or rosters or anything. If you name one that had fewer field goals than Nunn, you will receive a 0 percent grade. Be careful! And if you turn it in without 45 names written down, you will also receive a 0 percent grade. I don’t want people writing down just “James Harden” and expecting any sort of credit whatsoever.
Times up! Come up to the front of the class to turn in your quizzes. I’ll grade them quickly and have your scores ready to go in a few minutes.
Bad news! All of you failed. Every single one of you. How disappointing, this is just as disappointing for me as your teacher as it is for you. Everyone knows that Kelly Oubre has made more shots but Joel Embiid has made fewer. The amount of people who had Ben Simmons as one of their answers is baffling. Everyone knows that dude can’t score outside the paint worth beans, how would he have more field goals than Nunn, a premier scorer from everywhere on the court?
