Congratulations to the 43 participants in the NBA Playoff Edition in the latest contest / giveaway. 19 of whom participated all 14 days!
I guess the questions weren't hard enough, as we had FIVE perfect scores, and EIGHT who only missed 1 point somewhere along the way. Incredible!
Without further ado, here is how the participants ranked (ties are listed in alpha order, by User ID):

This was definitley hard. I took hours of research for a few questions. I really had fun and learned a lot.

I did way better than I thought I would, I'm surprised. Congratulations to the members with perfect scores!
And a big thank you to Dan for doing this!
Interesting afterthought here...wouldn't it be cool if we could get some local card shops or even card manufacturers to sponsor TCDb contests like this and contribute prizes?

If you thought these were hard, you didn't get to participate on some of his earlier contests. I think the hardest question here matched to about the easiest he has ever had.

I'm very happy to see the cards I sent over go to good use. I didn't participate in this contest but it had some great questions as always Dan.

Shoutout to Dan for hosting this event. It was fun. I personally enjoyed testing my knowledge of my 2nd favorite sport (behind NASCAR). I look forward to the next one. Thanks again.

The Who am I questions are my favorites. I like convoluting things and doing "connections" and other common themes. It was also fun ending the questions with a birthday (common song) person.
Here's an example of a real good one:
In 1980 Fleer released a sticker set celebrating a now classic video game. As well, there was an original popular song in 1981 by a duo that used sound effects from that video game. There are cards with images on TCDB for people with the same last names (spelled the exact same way) as the duo who perform the song. Post links to 1 card for each name (cards can be from any category) that have at least a front image here. [Hint: Your answer should contain 2 links from 2 different people.]
Yes, for a while there, I was asking for links (and I may go back to that). That was a fun one. I like to make people think.

I remember answering that one, great question with all the connections. Wanted to say thanks to Dan for the NBA contest, some good questions and appreciate all the effort put into it, challenging and fun.
