	Is there a quiz for players who have the most wins with a team?

	match:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 20:06 GMT	3 points
	wow - the Grizzlies one is kinda sad.

	AStue:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 20:32 GMT	2 points
	@match: Grizzlies one isnt so sad when you consider it usually takes them about four seasons to win that many games

	zalkon2004:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 20:38 GMT	2 points
	Jerry Sloan's number is quite impressive considering how quickly coaches get fired nowadays.

	Pats4Life:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	2 points
	Lenny Wilkens, Don Nelson and Pat Riley are also quite impressive, being the wins leaders for two different teams each.

	Sonicsgate:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 21:34 GMT	15 points
	It's amazing Lenny Wilkens was able to get 478 wins from a team that has only played 99 games to date...

	yanks08701:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 21:44 GMT	2 points
	kevin loughery lead the Nets in wins when combining AbA and Nba wins but frank is the leader in Nets Nba coaching wins

	graphicggh:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 22:40 GMT	-1 points
	holzman is interesting because he had 613 wins and was jewish

	PacoDeLasPelotas:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 22:49 GMT	2 points
	Lenny Wilkens won 478 games with the Seattle SuperSonics. You should add them and give the Thunder their own, although I don't know if it's Brooks or Carlesimo.

	barnztormre:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 23:10 GMT	1 point
	Basketball is, admittedly, my 5th sport behind hockey/baseball and both types of football. I got 14/30, and incredibly got the entire left side (save for Mike Dunleavy) and nothing from the right side.

	ShveLaSoul:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 23:25 GMT	3 points
	Larry Brown nowhere to be found

	29smitty:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 23:29 GMT	9 points
	Enough with this pain! Seattle won their lawsuit and retained all of the Sonics records and statistics for when they get a future team. Every time I see a Sonics legend associated with the Thunder I want to throw my laptop across the room.

	beckleyman:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 00:06 GMT	0 points
	Seriously, you could shorten it down to Rudy T-his last name is hard enough to spell as it is and he's widely known by that nickname.

	btroup1:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 00:17 GMT	0 points
	Chuck Daly never won a game in Fort Wayne, but you don't see Indianans complaining do you? Kidding. Cool off.

	geowiz85:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 01:56 GMT	0 points
	@barnz, hmm thats weird bc if you got 14 coachs and only missed dunleavy on the left side which has 15 spots it means that sporcle didnt give you two coachs who also appear on the right side too. so like i said either VERY WEIRD or youre lying

	dagoat3224:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 02:07 GMT	6 points
	Agree with 29smitty. The Thunder and Sonics are 2 separate franchises, thanks to that lawsuit

	MikeySRT:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 02:35 GMT	4 points
	lenny wilkens does not count for the thunder, he is the SEATTLE SONICS leader

	Dirtmaier:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	5 points
	Seriously, folks, we go through this every NBA quiz. People complain--correctly--that the terms of the Sonics' move to OKC dictated that the uniforms, logos and RECORDS remain in Seattle. I appreciate that people are drawing analogies to previously relocated franchises (for example, we justly never see a category for the Buffalo Braves or the Syracuse Nationals), but these analogies are FLAWED because, legally and in the official records of the NBA, the Sonics are a distinct franchise waiting for re-animation, and the Thunder began with a statistical tabula rasa. Can we PLEASE stop arguing and make the quizzes right on this point?

	modestmouse:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 07:00 GMT	-1 points
	I hate the Thunder as much as the next guy but they do actually own the Sonics history for the time being. Seattle will get the name and history back if the NBA ever returns to the city. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3545175

	NOW will Jerry Sloan get C.O.Y.? Please???

	drhaase:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:54 GMT	1 point
	FOR THE LAST TIME THE SEATTLE SUPERSONICS AND THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER ARE DIFFERENT TEAMS. Every NBA quiz makes this mistake...every single one. Get it right before it goes to the main page.

	missed adelman so dumb. bernie bickerstaff actually one of the easiest ones but only 11 percent???

	ahleks:	Dec 15th, 2010 at 06:28 GMT	1 point
	Larry Brown has passed Bickerstaff, he has 79 wins as of now. Dammit ... Ramsay not Ramsey. I should have kept trying.

	beau99:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 06:55 GMT	1 point
	Sonics fans complain WAY TOO MUCH. It's just a quiz. Cool off.

	Gusgus:	Sep 22nd, 2011 at 09:40 GMT	1 point
	As someone from Seattle, I can assure you it was big news at the time, and alls Seattle got to do was keep the name and the logo and rights to the stats if and when a new team comes. The team was bought, it was moved, and like any other team that is bought and moved, the legacy and the stats were bought and moved with it. The difference is that if Seattle gets another team, there will be two copies of the stats, and two copies of the championship pennets... as OC was already allowed to make copies of the orginals...
