	Why does this game require first and last names for 3 of them? I guess the two with the same last name I can kind of understand needing to differentiate, but i guess Abdul-Jabbar and it wouldn't take it.

	AdmiralMaxtreme:	Oct 10th, 2008 at 18:00 GMT	9 points
	I tried that, too. I can't understand why that is.

	drhaase:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 15:06 GMT	7 points
	yeah that was weird. understandable with the Malone's, but with Kareem it just doesn't make sense

	Samsonite:	Oct 22nd, 2008 at 15:50 GMT	15 points
	It accepts just Jabbar...and it technically should take Alcinder, since he won his first MVP before changing his name.

	Sam:	Jan 5th, 2009 at 04:26 GMT	-4 points
	its not acceptable when you type only last names for all of them and then you keep typing malon and cant understand why its not going

	Arthur:	Jan 26th, 2009 at 21:04 GMT	12 points
	It wouldn't take Abdul-Jabbar. That's wrong.

	Havok3595:	Feb 6th, 2009 at 13:17 GMT	2 points
	I, also, was unable to get the Malones and Kareem, who I tried as both Alcindor and Abdul-Jabbar.

	dolby:	Feb 8th, 2009 at 12:54 GMT	5 points
	i think it should accept malone...all the other quizzes accept it and hence it would be a little more consistent if even this one did...

	johnlk:	Feb 18th, 2009 at 00:49 GMT	14 points
	The team thing is dubious. Several of Abdul-Jabbar's MVP's were won on Milwaukee, and two of Moses Malone's three were at Houston, no? For players who won on multiple teams, it should list both teams. (Chamberlain also won for two different Philadelphia franchises, but I guess that works out alright).

	hscer:	Mar 1st, 2009 at 05:08 GMT	9 points
	i'm so used to being allowed to just give the last name for everybody i looked past the instructions and didn't specify Karl and Moses, even though I managed to think of both of them separately.

	drhaase:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 16:36 GMT	3 points
	it is Abdul-Jabbar...not Jabbar

Comment below threshold: show it

	ajayequalzbeast:	Jul 31st, 2009 at 18:14 GMT	2 points
	nash is great. gotta love little scrappy white canadian dudes.

	Zeppelin1985:	Aug 15th, 2009 at 23:53 GMT	3 points
	i typed in Malone and Abdul-Jabbar and it didn't count it, what the heck???

	tcr:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 14:09 GMT	0 points
	Also Moses won his first two MVPs with Houston and only the third with Philly so Houston/Philadelphia would be more appropriate.

	walt:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 19:57 GMT	0 points
	the quiz would be better/harder if instead of giving the city name - it gave the years. Also to eliminate the last name problem you should have to put the right answer in the right box. Also 5 minutes for this quiz is way too long A better quiz would be multiple MVP's from the 4 major sports (although if they did one without hockey I'd be cool with that)

	dsebo:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 03:28 GMT	2 points
	accept malone!... or make them answer in orer so it doesnt give you both answers for malone.... good quiz

	consuelez1:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 21:47 GMT	1 point
	this quiz sucks there are two malones and nobody knows that so you shouldnt have to put the first names. also change abdul jabbar to actually work

	scoonman:	Oct 27th, 2009 at 16:03 GMT	1 point
	very easy since the teams were listed

	nubbie:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 03:01 GMT	1 point
	agree with pretty much everyone up there that it should take last names for all of them not just some

	AnotherCutlerTD:	Nov 8th, 2009 at 08:08 GMT	0 points
	Malone? I realize it's two players, but the last name should count.

	mgramling15:	Nov 30th, 2009 at 03:02 GMT	0 points
	malone should definately count for both. Lucky for me that i read the instructions with enough time remaining that i got both of them. the abdul-jabbar thing was ridiculous.

	Mojorison25:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 11:37 GMT	1 point
	got'm all... you must differentiate with malones... jabbar is just fine... Kareem wasnt called abdul-jabbar.. its usually just JABBAR... "down low to Jabbar(sometimes Kareem)and sky hooks for 2!"

	ExtremeJoe:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 06:00 GMT	2 points
	@Mojorison: by the same token, it was also "malone drives to the hoop"

	Cockroach:	Feb 12th, 2010 at 14:47 GMT	1 point
	Too easy to miss the rule on "Malone". There's a reason those two are the 2nd and 3rd most-missed, despite being obvious answers.

	flea61:	Feb 14th, 2010 at 22:04 GMT	0 points
	1) Jabbar AND Abdul-Jabbar should be accepted. 2) Malone should be accepted for both Karl and Moses. 3) Players who won MVPs with two teams should have both those teams listed.

	JFilly:	May 2nd, 2010 at 16:55 GMT	0 points
	Gotta add LEBRON!!! WOOO!

	ikspuls:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 21:26 GMT	4 points
	surprised lebron was only guessed 6% of the time.

	draznnl:	Jul 9th, 2010 at 22:05 GMT	1 point
	You should eliminate the cities. Pettit would have taken some thought without that clue. As it was, I finished in less than 1:30. If you want to give hints, I agree with the comment(s) that having the years would be better.

	st0rmb11:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 06:24 GMT	1 point
	got all with 4:30 to spare.

	Pogues:	Aug 5th, 2010 at 22:42 GMT	1 point
	Can't stand the NBA anymore and managed to get all but one. I think that makes this quiz too easy.
