A lot easier to get this once I saw the OWW and Hypercross... nice trio, renfurdson!
12 minutes in, and I'm just the 30th solver? This is a tricky one, and it was (somewhat) helpful to do the OWW and hyper first. For posterity's sake, the rest of the triptych is:

Nice puzzles renfurdson, thanks for making them!
Edit: The phonetics are a bit of a stretch on the last part of this one (the middle thing blending into the third thing), and that was where knowing the "theme" from the other puzzles came in handy.
Got the other 2, but don't see what to do with this.
[3] i do see a tenuous connection here, but haven't been able to figure out the right wording to use yet, apparently
[3] I'm with you.
Got it with help from a friend, but yeah - quite a stretch on the phonics there.
Easy after doing the other two, but it's a stretch on its own.
[3][4][5] Ditto. There's an "obvious" answer, but that's no good.
(Edit)
Thanks, [2].
I liked my answer a lot better. The things I had to do to the English language to get the accepted answer... *shudder* I'm going to go shower now.
You definitely have to figure out what all three puzzles have in common.
[8] I see what the other 2 puzzles have in common, but that's not helping me.
I hope it's not to early for the salt, but think of famous players from the teams in HC clues 4 and 12. Together.
yeah, all I have is the obvious answer. Do you have to follow the sport to get this?
NM, P&S. I still had my brain in OWW mode.
[9] If you can figure out the connection, then you should be able to swish the right answer.
[11] Think common terms.
[12] thanks - that's a huge stretch even with all the clues here
Poorly clued.
That was a stretch
Just like the NBA not good
Thanks [2] (edit) and [12].
Don't worry about the color in the middle, it's not important. And be prepared to do some major phonetic mangling.
The third clue could also have been Russian for NO.
Yay, after slurring all of this together for a few minutes (while thinking about the theme), it finally made sense. I was still able to get 90th.
Finally got it. Unless I'm missing something, it's not just a matter of slurring. You have to subtract a syllable from the second and third clues.
I appreciate the effort, but especially taking into account Renfurdson's rich puzzle making history, this one's an airball.
Flagrant foul: extra syllable violation and vowel strangulation
In the same boat of having the other two and not getting this. Maybe I'll come back in the morning
Nevermind, got it! Slur some, leave some letters out, say it a lot, finally got it!
Somehow got all three after 49 minutes, lots of stretching (of the brain / phonetics / etc), lots of tabs (tanga, nba logos, google), and finally a big arrrrgggghhh moan. The oww was good, though. Or at least it wasn't uNBAerable (sp...I know)
OK We are over 100 can someone TG me MAJOR salt?
Would love a TG on this one.
larry and michael would like this one...
any assist from anyone?
This stinks trying to do these from a phone tonight. And then the theme to top it off! *sigh*
Also, the first symbol is not a Greek letter.
Not sure if this will help, but think Larry Byrd McDonalds commercial!
I googled "Michael Jordan and Larry Bird".
Arrrgghhh!! I was using the name of the Greek letter! Don't.....
Think in more mathematical terms.....
Ugh.,... real stretch on the third clue. (Plus i kept seeing the Greek)
only got it due to salt
Awful
I did not like this one. Poorly clued.
jimmothy did ya get this one?
Using [31]'s clue is the only way I got it... Thanks!
[30] Thanks. The answer was the next thing i said after reading that.
Also makes me think of NBA Jam quotes. "From doooowwwntown". "Boom-Shakalaka!!"
terrible. puzzle.
thks [31]
Would never have gotten this without [18], thanks...makes me glad for the Russian I took.
Got it from [18]!
Sorry but did not like this one. Wouldn't have got it without [30]. Geesh!
Thanks [30]. Never would have gotten it otherwise. Was convinced the first item was a Greek letter. It isn't.
Not only is the empty set symbol not a Greek letter, it isn't even empty set.
thanks to [31] and [45] You are a freaking genius!!

Needed the hint on this one.
