	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.

	I tried that, too. I can't understand why that is.

	drhaase:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 19:06 GMT	7 points
	yeah that was weird. understandable with the Malone's, but with Kareem it just doesn't make sense

	It accepts just Jabbar...and it technically should take Alcinder, since he won his first MVP before changing his name.

	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 27th, 2009 at 01:04 GMT	12 points
	It wouldn't take Abdul-Jabbar. That's wrong.

	I, also, was unable to get the Malones and Kareem, who I tried as both Alcindor and Abdul-Jabbar.

	dolby:	Feb 8th, 2009 at 16:54 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 04:49 GMT	13 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).

	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 20:36 GMT	4 points
	it is Abdul-Jabbar...not Jabbar

Comment below threshold: show it

	nash is great. gotta love little scrappy white canadian dudes.

	i typed in Malone and Abdul-Jabbar and it didn't count it, what the heck???

	tcr:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 18:09 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.

	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)

	accept malone!... or make them answer in orer so it doesnt give you both answers for malone.... good quiz

	consuelez1:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 01:47 GMT	3 points
	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 20:03 GMT	1 point
	very easy since the teams were listed

	nubbie:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 07:01 GMT	2 points
	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 12:08 GMT	1 point
	Malone? I realize it's two players, but the last name should count.

	mgramling15:	Nov 30th, 2009 at 07:02 GMT	1 point
	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 15:37 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 10:00 GMT	2 points
	@Mojorison: by the same token, it was also "malone drives to the hoop"
