Remember those questionnaires guidance counselors would sometimes give college students to help them identify careers/jobs they may be interested and/or well-suited for? I'd love to know what would be recommended for Young.

Initial guesses: night-shift (stationary) security guard or a mystery shopper.

Choose a player and predict what his non-basketball career would be.

Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

Shaq is the most unrealistic of the bunch.
