Jeremy Lin the proud product of Palo Alto High
Two former NBA players, both with multiple NBA Championship rings, were also EuroLeague Champions and Olympic Gold medalists.
Name either or both.
Marc Gasol has only one NBA Championship ring, and neither Gasol brother won an Olympic Gold medal.

Nope.

Jim Mason.
Mason hit .165 for the 1977 Blue Jays before he was traded to the Texas Rangers. He hit a home run in his only World Series at bat, for the 1976 New York Yankees.
Ooops, there are only two, Errol Thompson and Billy McMillan. Forbes Kennedy was raised in PEI, but was born in New Brunswick.
Walt Bellamy.
In the 1968-69 season, Bellamy played 35 games for the New York Knicks and 53 for the Detroit Pistons.
Ferguson Jenkins.
Jenkins played for the Globetrotters during the baseball offseason in 1967-69.
I'm not sure what the Cubs were paying him then, but according to baseball-reference(dot)com, his 1970 salary was $62,000, following three straight 20 Win seasons.
Gene Conley.
Conley played Major League Baseball from 1952-63. He was a 4 time All Star, including twice in 1959, and he was a World Series Champion, as a member of the 1957 Milwaukee Braves. Conley also played in the NBA in 1952-53 then again from 1958-68. He was a three time NBA Champion with the Boston Celtics in 1959-61.
Jud Buechler.
Jud was part of the second Chicago Bulls 'threepeat' teams, with NBA Championship rings for 1996-98.
I had WGN Chicago Superstation as part of my cable TV package in the late 1990's, and I saw many Bulls games. Jud usually played the same ten minutes of every game; the last two minutes of the 1st and 3rd quarters, and the first three minutes of the 2nd and 4th.
Buechler's job was to slow the game clock down as much as possible, and to troll the opposition's shooting guard. When he did his job properly, Scottie Pippen had a 15 minute 'blow' on the bench twice a night, when the break between quarters was factored in.
Rafael Araujo.
What a stiff this guy was. I think he got half of his rebounds when opposition players missed the second free throw. Last I heard, he was working for a loan shark as a debt collector.
Anderson was not out in 114 of his 265 Test Innings, ie: he was still batting when England won a match, if they declared, or if all of the other batsmen lost their wicket.
Name any or all of the 3 players in NFL history with the shortest name(number of combined letters in their first and last name, not including nicknames).
1. Bo Nix(correctly answered by knees).
2. Ty Law(correctly answered by knees)
3. Al Day(correctly answered by stephenp)
