Well you got half the question right. Ken Sailors did "invent" the jump shot. (now for the second part of my question) The year he invented it was in 1934.

Now it's your turn to ask a question.

How about Jay-Em, named for Jim Moore, one of the early settlers in the area? It is located between Lusk and Torrington, in Goshen County.

Correct answer would be John Nolan K C Brand Town of Kaycee, Wyoming



John Nolan not Nate Champion sorry--I tried my link and could not find what page it was on. I googled it and got Champion--Nolan leased or rented it out to Champion-the ranch. It is named after John Nolan not Nate Champion
Just setting the record straight/sorry
your turn jdavid93225

Wow, I read a detailed article about the Johnson County War and I don't recall that ever being mentioned in it. I guess that's why I like this trivia thread!

OK, here's one that I hope will be a little tricky:

What do This Cowboy's Hat, Horsepower, and Western Skies have in common? What I would like to know is who this question is about, and what is that person's connection to Wyoming?
