The '60-point NBA games' quiz

Happy 28th birthday to San Antonio Spurs point guard, De’Aaron Fox!

Fox is a nine-year NBA veteran who was drafted fifth-overall in 2017 by the Sacramento Kings out of Kentucky, where he spent the first seven-plus seasons of his career. After making an All-Star and All-NBA team in 2022-23 en route to the Jerry West Clutch Player of the Year award, and winning the NBA steals championship in 2023-24, Fox was traded to the Spurs to team up with Victor Wembanyama last season. 

This year, Fox is averaging 22.9 points, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals-per-game and helped lead San Antonio to an appearance in the NBA Cup final, where they lost to the New York Knicks. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Fox can be one of the most explosive scorers in the NBA when he gets hot, and is one of just 39 players to score 60 points in a game. How many of those players can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
