I was at BYU during Jimmermania. I was taking a quiz for some civ general, and

The professor added an extra credit question on the quiz that was along the lines of "Who is the current basketball team national phenomenon?". Around like a third of the class got it right, and many outcried on putting such an irrelevent bonus question on a quiz that put non-sports fans at a disadvantage.

Danny Ainge's NBA career was done before that guy was even born. It's a little weird as he's from Boston.

Kids should get to know Danny Ainge. He's got that killer winner's mentality.

Some guys don't like sports; that was something I didn't realize until I was 32

I'm not saying it should be first. Just saying second is too high.
