The Nene Trivia Challenge

May 12, 2009 in by with 21 Comments

Last night, I was looking at various World Wide Web websites that had information about Nene, because what else would I be doing at 11 pm?  Turns out, he has probably the best bio on NBA.com.  So good, and so utterly bizarre, that I find it prudent to introduce the Nene Trivia Challenge. 

Below, I have presented 10 “facts,” seven that are true, and three that are completely made up.  I am very, very good at making up facts, so this should be a bit of a challenge.  First person who gets these right will be mailed a prize sometime in the next three months.  Seriously.

The rules are as follows:

  • one entry per person
  • answers will be left in the comments in the following form: “The made up facts are numbers: [ENTER NUMBERS HERE]“
  • no research allowed
  • contest is open until next Tuesday, May 19

NENE FACTS

  1. Favorite actor is Jackie Chan
  2. Plays bass guitar
  3. Favorite book is “The Da Vinci Code”
  4. Has a 7’5″ wingspan
  5. Middle name is Rodney
  6. Has one testicle
  7. Favorite movie is “Left Behind”
  8. First sport was track
  9. Favorite sports team is FC Barcelona
  10. Grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson

You have one week.

The made up facts are numbers: 2, 4 and 10.

I think Trey is being sneaky and the wingspan is actually something like 7'3" or 7'6".

1 is true because foreigners love Jackie Chan.
3 is false because no one likes that book, it's garbage.
6 is false because they probably didn't remove the cancerous nut.
8 is false because he a big boy, he ain't running track.
9 is true because Barcel probably had a Brazillian at the time.
10 is true because everyone loves AIDS Johnson and Emmer, no matter their size.

In conclusion, 3, 6, and 8 are the falsities.

The made up facts are 3,4,8,
although I was tempted to pick #7 because I have no idea what movie that is.

The made up facts are 3,8,10.... I wanted to say Rodney, but that's too obvious. He's brazilian, so 8 and 10 are out.... unless DVC was translated into portugese, I'm gonna guess he likes Paolo Coehlo

The made up facts are numbers: 1, 9, 10,
1 because nobody likes Jackie Chan,
9 because he's from Brazil,
10 because he isn't a guard
