Today’s Grid

The Grid

Three NBA franchises across, three criteria down, a franchise or an honor: All-Star, MVP, Hall of Fame, Rookie of the Year… For each box, find a player who checks both: an MVP who played in Houston, a player of both the Lakers and the Celtics. A franchise counts under all its names, the SuperSonics for the Thunder. Each player only counts once.

Three mistakes allowed: a player who fits no empty box is one. At the third, the game stops and a possible answer shows in each empty box. The rarer your answer, the more it scores: LeBron James is worth less than a player nobody saw coming. The daily grid is the same for everyone, with a new one every day at midnight.
