Q10 should be under review. I do not believe the NFL recognizes results from the AAFC. If that is correct, Cleveland only has four titles. Obviously, SF has more….

Also, I believe that Cleveland has the longest championship drought in Major League baseball.  No World Series titles since 1948.

Who are the three Stanford men's basketball players who were not drafted but who played in the NBA?

They each played in different eras.

RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 08-09-2021

Actually Howie Dallmar and Jim Pollard played together at Stanford

So is there 4?

Randle. Only two rounds now

Basketball-Reference shows Jim Pollard drafted in the 7th round of the BAA draft, this was around the time that the BAA and NBL were merging to form the NBA. He played his first season for the Lakers when they were still part of the BAA, and then they became part of the new NBA. That's the information I was relying on but data from that era is not always reliable.

In any case there is another player besides Dallmar (and maybe Pollard) and Randle, someone from the Montgomery era.

Howard Wright. Only played 19 NBA games but part of the great class that turned around men's basketball.

RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 08-10-2021

Darn thought he was drafted. Thx

RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 08-10-2021

Good guess Giants but the school was Commerce which closed in the early Fifties. As a little kid I attended a Commerce/SI football game on the Commerce Field when my uncle was the SI coach. On that site today is Davies Symphony Hall.

The hoops Hall of Famer is KC Jones.

Not sure about Poly, either late 60's or early 70's. The two gyms survive but the school grounds are now apartments. The Poly student body shifted to a new campus in Glen Canyon off of O'shaughnessy Street and was named after Gene McAteer who would have been mayor but for a fatal heart attack. His son was a three year starting DB at UCLA.
