First time I ever got less than 50% on one of those things. I never, ever heard him called Wayne Rollins!

Also, a few quibbles/comments, if I may:

C.J. - what about CJ Miles?
Jamaal Wilkes - this was the name he was commonly known by, so to call him by his full assumed name was confusing. If I saw "Jamaal Wilkes" I would have known his real first name right away.
Pops - no way ANYONE is getting this one without cheating.
Magic - I got stuck on this one for a while because of the spelling. Any chance you can update it to accept somewhat incorrect spellings?
Dee - what about the other one, the more recent Illinois grad? I tried his name but it didn't accept it.
Buddy - did he actually play in the NBA, or only in the BAA/NBL?

Overall though, that was definitely the toughest Sporcle I've ever done.
