I was at that game. Back then the Jazz played 5 or 6 "home" games in Vegas at Thomas and Mack Center. Other NBA teams has similar homes away from home such as the Celtics did with Hartford Conn. the Atlanta Hawks with St. Louis and a few others.
That night the Jazz played the Houston Rockets and AD tied Wilt Chamberlain's record for most free throws made in a single game (28). He finished with 46 points for the game - Wilt of course scored 100 the night he made 28 FTs. On another night I was at Thomas and Mack when Kareem passed Wilt for the all time NBA scoring lead against the Jazz. The Jazz stopped playing in Vegas in the late 80's for financial reasons.

Glaken - I have experienced dozens of quakes but the one the other night was by far the worse. To be honest not much scares me but I have to say when my house was shaking like it was I became a bit concerned. I have spent a lot of time in Quepos where the epi-center was but don't live near there now. Quepos is a funky old tourist town adjacent to a beautiful National Park called Manuel Antonio. Beautiful beaches, Rain forests, and very nice hotels.

Check out this site for some Killer NBA Record info....I had no idea that Wilt Chamberlin still holds so many records.

I recall Rick Barry (with his underhand style) as one of the most prolific FT % players of all time. Led league many times and may have held single season % record as well as consecutive made (over several games) at one time. For some reason (his propensity for the truth ?) the NBA has somewhat blackballed him. He should be a tv analyst or coach. His son's ( although not as good) mirror his intelligence and saavy for the playing the game. Met him in early 80's at Elk's Club National Free throw Contest in Indianapolis. (He was their spokeman and my son was a finalist) He took a genuine interest in the participants, their backgrounds and their basketball playing futures. As a player, he was one competitive individual.
