The 'Most 40-point games in NBA history' quiz

Happy 87th birthday to basketball legend and the silhouette on the NBA's iconic logo Jerry West!

West was a 14-time All-Star, was selected to 12 All-NBA teams, earned five all-defensive team honors and 1972 NBA champion. He also was named the MVP of the 1969 NBA Finals despite falling to the Boston Celtics. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. West retired with 25,192 points in his career, winning the 1969-70 scoring title with 31.2 points-per-game. How many of the NBA players who have tallied the most 40-point games in a career can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
