Name the player that levelled Gretzky with a hard, clean body check, probably the only time he was caught with his head down. The Great One was writhing in pain for a few minutes near centre ice.

Hints:

He was a Leaf

He has the same first and last name of a NHL referee, who is also his cousin

What NBA player averaged more than 48 minutes played per game in one of his seasons?

Wilt Chamberlain. In the 1961-62 season, Chamberlain averaged 48.53 minutes played through 80 games, playing 3,882 of his team's 3,890 minutes. He was ejected for a second technical foul with eight minutes remaining in the only game he did not play completely, (Chamberlain did not foul out of any of his 1,045 career regular season nor 160 career playoff games).

Despite setting a league record with more than 50 points scored per game, and averaging more than 25 rebounds per game, Chamberlain was not named league MVP. Neither was Oscar Robertson, who became the first an only player to average a triple-double for a season that same year, (30.8 points, 11.4 assists, 12.5 rebounds per game). Boston's Bill Russell won MVP that year.

I do not follow basketball, so this may be a dumb question, but isn't an NBA game only 48 minutes long ( 4-12 minute quarters)?
