Sturt Quiz Day question
Yesterday I attended the Sabres' Quiz Day (fundraiser for the ABL program).
A contentious question was posed by Potsie:
Who captained the original USA basketball Dream Team?
My table (four valiant participants, fighting against tables of larger groups!) submitted Larry Bird and Magic Johnson as co-captains.
We were marked incorrect and Potsie claimed that the answer of "Larry Bird" as written in his source book would stand. Two other tables also questioned the answer, including that of Brett Maher and Scott Ninnis.
Anyone got an opinion? Were we right? Even larrybird.com says he was co-captain!
For the record, we were duds in the sporting section (4/10), but masters of the animal kingdom (I might regret saying that!) with 9/10. And Potsie's performance as host was otherwise very good.
