25-second pick · +85

Al Attles Deep Cut

8 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 174 accepted answers on the sheet

Avoid the franchise or event that fills sports-bar talk. We would type Al Attles: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, or Magic Johnson — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Spencer Haywood (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Spencer Haywood +100

Skip Kareem Abdul-Jabbar · Kobe Bryant · Larry Bird · Magic Johnson
