So, the other day, I was just messing around, killing time, and I got sucked into this online crossword puzzle. You know how it is, right? Time just flies when you’re trying to figure out these clues.
Well, I came across this one clue in the LA Times crossword that really had me scratching my head: “NBA logo 3 paths.” I mean, I’m not the biggest sports fan out there. But the NBA logo? That’s pretty iconic, right? So I started digging around.
- First, I hit up one of those crossword solver websites. It spit out, like, 30 or 40 possible answers. Talk about overwhelming! I tried to narrow it down based on popularity, but it was still a lot to sift through.
- Then, I found this article, more like a guide, specifically about the “NBA logo 3 paths” clue. It promised a step-by-step solution. Sounds good, right? Well, the website was full of ads, but I got the answer in the end. It seems to help people figure out this kind of clues.
- I also read that the NBA has never officially said who the logo is modeled after. But the guy who designed it, Alan Siegel, he’s pretty clear that it’s Jerry West, the Lakers legend. Interesting, right?
- Finally, in one of the forums, I found someone mentioned the term “Logo 3”. Now, I finally knew what it was about. Turns out, in the NBA, “Logo 3” is a 3-point shot taken from way out near the mid-court logo. They say it’s a low-percentage shot, but when someone makes it, the crowd goes wild!
So, yeah, after all that, I finally pieced it all together. “NBA logo 3 paths” refers to three things. First, the silhouette of Jerry West in the NBA logo. Second, it is the color of the logo: red, white, and blue. Third, it stands for “Logo 3”.
It’s funny how a simple crossword clue can lead you down this whole rabbit hole of information. But hey, I learned something new, and now I’ve got a fun little story to tell. That’s a win in my book!
