"obvious?"
Even after hearing it a few seconds ago, I've already forgotten it - and had never heard the name before in my life.
And I had no recognition of the photo, if that was him, if they were talking about basketball, if it was men's basketball, or if that was even the category.

“And I had no recognition of the photo, if that was him, if they were talking about basketball, if it was men's basketball”

Even if you didn’t know the specific player, a MAN dribbling a BASKETBALL and you couldn’t figure out that he played men’s basketball?

Seems like a legit answer to me. ...not like she said Magic Johnson.

I haven't watched an NBA game in years, but this man is one of the most recognizable NBA players in the past 10 years. He even has a meme that transcends all sports. People here that say they don't know, should never be invited to Jeopardy. The whole point of Jeopardy is to know a shite ton of facts that are pretty much useless to know in any person's daily life. This question should have been easy for any sports fan, or at the very least, low difficulty. It's a damn picture of the guy in his uniform lol.

I wouldn't have known. Last time I watched a NBA game was the night Jordan unretired to play with the Wizards.

I don't watch NBA at all, but I know that's Russell Westbrook. Any sports fan does. I also don't watch soccer, but can recognize Messi.

I would have answered wrong. I would have needed to "phone in a friend" to help me. Recognized his face but name, no way.
