NBA LIVE 08

When the game is loading to play match, the load screen is made more entertaining with trivia questions for the player to answer in the form of multiple choice. The amount to load affects the amount of questions that you'll be able to answer before the match starts.

It's best to try to get this achievement while waiting for the game to load an exhibition match (lots to load). Many of the questions are more difficult than your average non-basketball guru can answer, but if you read the questions carefully, you'll see that they begin to repeat after awhile (random selection of questions). Remember whatever questions you can and if you don't get the achievement the first time around, return to the main menu, and start another match. You'll get it eventually.

Hey Everyone,

So I started with this some while ago and never finished it. I re-bought the game and tried to note down as many questions as possible. Without knowing the precise amount of questions, I'd like to think 14 pages is enough to cover this achievement.

The following questions I was not able to get an answer, either it was the last question on the trivia and didn't give an answer OR couldn't find it on the Internet (I'm sure others will be able to find it though):

Who out of the following was not a first-round pick of the LA Lakers in the 60’s?

Who out of the following player did not go in round one of the 2003 draft?

Which team originally drafted Richard Hamilton?

Which Washington Bullets player led the NBA in field goal percentage during the 1996-97 season?

The New Jersey Nets scored 25 points in an overtime game in 1996 versus which team?

The following questions I did get an answer for, either as it wasn't the cut off question OR was found during an Internet search. Hopefully in the run you get it, it will ask you questions with key words in it like college, a NBA team or the name of the player so you can do a quick search and find the question:
