Quite a few winners this time around:

Kevin Gamble led the league half-way through the '90 - '91 season with a
FG% of over 60%. 

What is amazing about this statistic is that Gamble was strictly an outside
shooter. As one wag put it, "the only driving Gamble ever did was in his
Mercedes". Kevin was one of my favorite players, and when Bird went down
with heel surgery it looked like Kevin would pick up the slack. Remember
the 33-point game against ? when everything Gamble shot found the net?
Turned out to be the highlight of his career, rather than the portent of
things to come. 

Winners: Adam Suchocki, Almost right Dan, David Gamble (Kevin's cousin, so
this entry doesn't count), Chris Littlefield.

other players mentioned: Mc Hale (2), Easy Ed Pinckney (1)

I forgot to mention that no 1986 Toyota Camry was being offered this time
around, but maybe next time.
